چکیده
Introduction: Research suggests that Blacks in the United States (U.S.) are vulnerable to distress (e.g, depression, anxiety, and somatization) from a wide range of psychosocial factors (CDC, 2004, 2010).

The present study investigated whether psychological inflexibility and mindfulness, two widely studied coping processes, predict a range of psychological distress among Blacks.
