Description

Sense of relatedness is a crucial factor in the development of meaningful interpersonal relationships (Datu, 2017). Interpersonal relationships have demonstrated a significant impact on how individuals cope with their environment (Yulina et al., 2021). Youth in low socioeconomic environments are at higher risk of being exposed to unstable relationships which further increases this vulnerable population to learning ineffective interpersonal skills throughout their lifespan (Colman & Wisdom, 2004). Youth from marginalized groups have higher risk at experiencing negative life experiences, for example economic inequalities, heightened distress, systemic oppression, and economic inequalities (Hatch & Dohrenwend, 2007). Previous research has suggested African-American individuals experience a higher rate of stressors than whites, regardless of socioeconomic status due to systemic oppression and racism (Hatch & Dohrenwend, 2007). Increased traumatic experiences including racism and discrimination may place BIPOC individuals at increased risk for interpersonal difficulties (Umberman et al., 2016).
