The Impact of Historical Trauma Exposure on Ethnic Identity and Stress Responses: A Quasi‑Experimental Study of Roma and Non‑Roma Participants in Romania

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this study is to observe whether exposing Roma and non‑Roma participants to images from racial purge programs brings about changes in cognition, stress, and traumatic ethnicity, and to what extent these change between the moments of treatment application. To conduct the research, a quasi‑experimental design was chosen, and three groups of 30 participants each were formed: two experimental and one control group. The first experimental group consisted of Roma participants, the second of non‑Roma participants, and the control group was mixed. For measurement, psychological tests were chosen, applied both in classical and electronic manner, and the treatment consisted of exposure to 16 public historical photographs.
