DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application is a request for a Scientist Development Award for New Minority Faculty (K01) that will enable Dr. Nyborg to continue to develop her programmatic line of research in the prevention of aggressive/violent behaviors in males of African descent. African American males are particularly at risk for negative outcomes. Fifteen percent of youth under the age of 18 are African American, but they are overrepresented in criminal and victimization statistics. Data point to a need for culturally relevant prevention programs that specifically address the psychological well-being of African American males. Dr. Nyborg's training goals are to (1) further develop her knowledge of creating culturally sensitive interventions for African American youth, (2) acquire knowledge of and experiences with public policy creation, analysis, and advocacy, (3) increase knowledge of and experiences with school based mental health interventions, specifically violence prevention and school-based mental health services, (4)advance her knowledge of scale development, (5) acquire knowledge with regard to qualitative data collection and analysis, and (6) improve her grant and manuscript writing. These training goals will be achieved through (1) the resources available at Brown University, (2) the high quality of mentorship provided through Dr. Anthony Spirito, Dr. Cynthia Garcia Coil, Dr. Marion Orr, Dr. Kenneth Dodge, and the assembled expertise of the consultant team, (3) focused coursework and clinical experiences, and (4) the proposed project. The proposed project extends the natural progression of Dr. Nyborg's research. The project will focus on three related sub-studies with African American adolescent males. First, an adolescent hypermasculinity scale will be developed. Second, the relations among experiences of racism, hypermasculinity, and aggressive behavior will be examined. Third, an intervention development trial will be conducted. The intervention will be designed to teach positive coping strategies in dealing with experiences of racism via anger management, and problem solving skills, as well as activities intended to promote feelings of empowerment (e.g., having prominent African American men speak on their experiences with racism).

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请是为新的少数民族教师（K01）颁发科学家发展奖的要求，该奖项将使Nyborg博士能够继续开发她的计划研究，以预防非洲后裔男性的侵略性/暴力行为。非洲裔美国男性尤其面临负面结果的风险。 18岁以下的年轻人中有15％是非裔美国人，但在犯罪和受害统计中的代表人数过多。数据指出，需要专门针对非洲裔美国男性心理健康的文化相关预防计划。 Dr. Nyborg's training goals are to (1) further develop her knowledge of creating culturally sensitive interventions for African American youth, (2) acquire knowledge of and experiences with public policy creation, analysis, and advocacy, (3) increase knowledge of and experiences with school based mental health interventions, specifically violence prevention and school-based mental health services, (4)advance her knowledge of scale development, (5) acquire knowledge with regard to qualitative data collection and analysis, and (6)改善她的赠款和手稿写作。这些培训目标将通过（1）布朗大学提供的资源来实现，（2）通过Anthony Spirito博士，Cynthia Garcia Coil博士，Marion Orr博士，Marion Orr博士，Kenneth Dodge博士提供的高质量指导，以及顾问团队的集会专业知识，（3）集中的课程和临床经验和临床经验和（4）拟议的项目。拟议的项目扩展了Nyborg博士研究的自然发展。该项目将重点关注与非裔美国青少年男性的三个相关子研究。首先，将开发一个青春期的超男性气质量表。其次，将研究种族主义，超男性气质和侵略性行为之间的关系。第三，将进行干预开发试验。该干预措施将旨在教授积极的应对策略，以通过愤怒管理和解决问题的技能来应对种族主义的经历，以及旨在促进赋权感的活动（例如，让非裔美国人著名的男人谈论他们在种族主义方面的经历）。
