摘要
The current study set out to examine the influence of religiosity on the relationship between interracial Black-White (IBW) couples' perceived discrimination and marital satisfaction. Data from 178 Black-White couples were used to test a common fate moderation model. Results revealed a negative association between partners' perceived discrimination and marital satisfaction. Also, White partners' religiosity was found to moderate the effects of discrimination on satisfaction, whereby a higher level of religiosity contributed to higher satisfaction when couples experienced discrimination. Results suggested that religiosity may be an important resource to help Black-White couples manage discrimination stress.
