This study examined the relationship of racial and ethnic socialization and academic achievement in a sample of 218 African
American adolescents (grades 9–12; 52% girls) attending a public high school in the northeastern United States. Researchers
were particularly interested in whether adolescent gender moderated the relationship between racial and ethnic socialization
and academic grades. Results indicated that aspects of ethnic socialization, African American cultural values and African
American heritage were linked to adolescent grades. Additionally, adolescent gender was found to moderate the association
between these socialization variables and grades. The findings also suggest that socialization provided by paternal caregivers
around African American cultural values and African American heritage may have differential effects for academic grades than
the socialization messages provided by maternal caregivers. Information generated from this study broadens the understanding
of socialization factors that can facilitate positive academic outcomes in African American youth and has practical implications
for parents and educators.

This study uses two waves of data to examine the relationships among patterns of racial socialization experiences and racial
identity in a sample of 358 African American adolescents (60% female and 40% male). Using latent class analyses, we identified
three patterns of adolescent-reported racial socialization experiences: High Positive, Moderate Positive, and Low Frequency.
Adolescent-reported racial socialization experiences at Wave 1 were associated with Wave 2 adolescent racial identity approximately
one year later. Specifically, High Positive and Low Frequency racial socialization were associated with racial centrality,
assimilationist ideology, and nationalist ideology. These findings suggest that various patterns of racial socialization practices
play an important role in the developing significance and meaning that African American adolescents ascribe to race.

Previous research has explored how differential youth outcomes are associated with racial socialization and parenting style
individually, but very little work has examined whether democratic-involved parenting style bolsters the positive link between
racial messages and adolescent outcomes. The purpose of this study was to examine mothers’ use of democratic-involved parenting
as a moderator of the association between racial socialization (e.g., racial pride, racial barrier, and self-worth messages)
and youth engagement. The types of engagement explored were attitudes toward class work and persistence on task. Ninety-four
African American youth (ages 11–14) reported on maternal style and socialization. As predicted, racial barrier socialization
was positively associated with engagement among adolescents who perceived their mothers to provide more involvement coupled
with opportunities for their teens to make decisions. In contrast, barrier socialization and engagement were negatively associated
among adolescents who viewed their mothers as low in democratic-involved parenting. Implications for adolescent engagement
and for research on racial socialization and democratic-involved parenting style are discussed.

The current study examined the impact of racial discrimination stress on internalizing symptoms and coping strategies in a
sample of 268 African American early adolescents (mean age = 12.90; 56% female) from low-income communities. Information about
discrimination stress, coping, and internalizing symptoms was obtained via adolescents’ self-report. It was predicted that
discrimination stress would be positively associated with depression and anxiety, as well as culturally-specific coping. Finally,
culturally-relevant coping and mainstream coping were examined as moderators of the association between discrimination stress
and internalizing symptoms. Hierarchical regression analyses indicated that discrimination stress was positively associated
with depression and anxiety and predicted culturally-relevant coping while controlling for mainstream coping. Communalistic
coping moderated the association between discrimination and anxiety, but demonstrated a vulnerability function by increasing
anxiety at high levels of discrimination. The results highlight the salience of racial discrimination for African American
adolescents and the importance of considering culturally-specific coping behaviors.

Prior research demonstrates negative consequences of racism, however, little is known about community, parenting, and intrapersonal
mechanisms that protect youth. Using a mixed-methods approach, this study illuminated linkages between positive and negative
contextual influences on rural African American adolescent outcomes. Quantitative results provide support for Structural Ecosystems
Theory, in that the influence of discrimination and collective socialization on adolescent outcomes was mediated by racial
socialization and positive parenting. Parenting and community influences contributed to adolescent racial identity and self
image, which protected against common negative responses to racism; including academic underachievement, succumbing to peer
pressure, and aggressive tendencies. Qualitative results indicate that current measures of discrimination may underestimate
adolescents’ experiences. Adolescents reported racist experiences in the domains of school, peers, and with the police (males
only). Moreover, qualitative findings echoed and expanded quantitative results with respect to the importance of the protective
nature of parents and communities.

The current study, using data from 374 African American students (59.4% female) in grades 7–12 attending a rural, southern
county public school, addressed associations of self-efficacy, ethnic identity and parental support with “future education
orientation.” Both gender and current level of achievement distinguished adolescents with differing levels of future education
orientation. The strongest predictors of future education orientation were self-efficacy, ethnic identity and maternal support.
Gender did not moderate these associations. Implications for future research include the need to conduct longitudinal studies
and research that integrates quantitative and qualitative methods to elucidate further the nature and importance of future
education orientation for African American youth. Also needed are policies and programs that facilitate school bonding and
academic performance, as are efforts that focus specifically on enhancing the future education orientation and academic success
of African American male adolescents.

Structural equation modeling was used to test [Sandler, American Journal of Community Psychology 29: 19–61.] a theoretical model of risk and resilience in an urban sample of African American and European American adolescents. The aims of the present study were to examine whether self-system processes (i.e., competence, self-esteem, and coping efficacy) mediated the relations between ecological risk and depressive symptoms and to determine if pathways varied across ethnic/racial groups. Results implicate self-esteem as a putative mediator of the impact of ecological risk on depressive symptoms for both African American and European American youth. In addition, coping efficacy was a mediator of the link between ecological risk and depressive symptoms for African American youth, but not for European American youth. The evidence supporting competence as a significant mediator of the relation between ecological risk and depressive symptoms was less compelling. Findings suggest substantial similarities in the pathways between ecological risk and depressive symptoms across African American and European American youth.

The present study examined contextual influences on the relationship between racial discrimination (individual, cultural,
and collective/institutional) and psychological well-being. Two hundred and fifty two African American adolescents (46% male
and 54% female, average age = 16) completed measures of racial discrimination, self-esteem, depressive symptoms and life satisfaction.
Archival information regarding the racial/ethnic composition of the participants’ neighborhoods and schools was used and increased
school diversity was linked to increased perceptions of cultural discrimination. Regardless of school and neighborhood diversity,
high perceptions of collective/institutional discrimination were linked to lower self-esteem for students in high diversity
settings. Further, high levels of collective/institutional discrimination were associated with lower life satisfaction for
African American youth in low diversity settings.

Increasingly, researchers have found relationships between a strong, positive sense of racial identity and academic achievement
among African American youth. Less attention, however, has been given to the roles and functions of racial identity among
youth experiencing different social and economic contexts. Using hierarchical linear modeling, the authors examined the relationship
of racial identity to academic outcomes, taking into account neighborhood-level factors. The sample consisted of 564 African
American eighth-graders (56% male). The authors found that neighborhood characteristics and racial identity related positively
to academic outcomes, but that some relationships were different across neighborhood types. For instance, in neighborhoods
low in economic opportunity, high pride was associated with a higher GPA, but in more advantaged neighborhoods, high pride
was associated with a lower GPA. The authors discuss the need to take youth’s contexts into account in order to understand
how racial identity is active in the lives of African American youth.

Experiences with racism are a common occurrence for African American youth and may result in negative self perceptions relevant
for the experience of depressive symptoms. This study examined the longitudinal association between perceptions of racism
and depressive symptoms, and whether perceived academic or social control mediated this association, in a community epidemiologically-defined
sample of urban African American adolescents (N = 500; 46.4% female). Structural equation modeling revealed that experiences with racism were associated with low perceived
academic control, which in turn was associated with increased depressive symptoms. Findings suggest that experiences with
racism can have long lasting effects for African American youth’s depressive symptoms, and highlight the detrimental effects
of experiences with racism for perceptions of control in the academic domain. Implications for intervention are discussed.

The role of prejudice and ethnic awareness in the civic commitments and beliefs about the American social contract of 1,096
(53% female) adolescents (11–18 year olds, Mean = 15) from African-, Arab-, Latino-, and European-American backgrounds were
compared. Ethnic awareness was higher among minority youth and discrimination more often reported by African- and Arab-Americans.
Parental admonitions against discrimination were heard by all but African Americans, Latinos and those who reported prejudice
heard that it could pose a barrier. Adolescents’ beliefs that America is an equal opportunity society were negatively associated
with experiences of discrimination and African-Americans were least likely to believe that the government was responsive to
the average person. With respect to civic goals, all youth endorsed patriotism but ethnic minorities and ethnically aware
youth were more committed to advocating for their ethnic group and European-Americans were less committed than were African
Americans to improving race relations.

Using the Experience Sampling Method (ESM), this cross-sectional study examined mediated and moderated associations between
different types of discretionary time activities and depressive symptoms and delinquency among a sample of 246 (107 boys,
139 girls) fifth through eighth grade urban African American adolescents. More time spent in passive unstructured activities
was associated with higher levels of depressive symptoms only for adolescents residing in less dangerous neighborhoods, whereas
more time spent in active unstructured activities was associated with higher levels of delinquency only if adolescents resided
in more dangerous neighborhoods. Alienation was positively associated with depressive symptoms and delinquency, but neither
alienation nor positive affect mediated the relationship between activities and adjustment. These findings suggest the importance
of considering neighborhood environment issues when determining what types of discretionary time activities are most beneficial
for urban African American young adolescents.

A Closer Look at Peer Discrimination,Ethnic Identity,and Psychological Well-being Among Urban Chinese American Sixth Graders 总被引:3,自引:2,他引:1
Recent research suggests that although ethnic discrimination may have negative consequences for psychological well-being among
youth of Chinese descent as it does for other ethnic groups, ethnic identity beliefs may buffer against such effects. Data
for this study were drawn from the Early Adolescent Cohort Study, an investigation of contextual influences on the social,
emotional, and academic adjustment of youth in ethnically diverse New York City middle schools. The present study sample consists
of Chinese American (n = 84) and African American (n = 119) sixth graders. Results suggest that Chinese American youths’ own positive affect toward their ethnic group (private
regard) was positively associated with higher self-esteem. In addition, the more favorably Chinese American youth perceived
that others view their group (public regard), the fewer depressive symptoms they reported. In addition, among Chinese American
youth, more favorable public regard attenuated the negative relationship between peer ethnic discrimination and depressive
symptoms. The implications of these findings are discussed in light of the commonalities among ethnic and racial minority
groups’ experiences of discrimination as well as the unique challenges that Chinese American youth face.

Within an ethnically diverse sample of young adults (n = 223, 26% Latin American, 14% Asian American, 32% Filipino American, 28% European American), average levels of ethnic identity
was found to vary significantly across different relational contexts. Regardless of ethnicity, young adults reported highest
levels of ethnic exploration and ethnic belonging with parents, followed by same-ethnic peers, then different-ethnic peers.
Significantly greater variation between relational contexts generally was found for ethnic exploration compared to ethnic
belonging. Greater variation in ethnic identity, particularly between same-ethnic and different-ethnic contexts was associated
with lower self-esteem, positive affect, relational competence, and higher negative affect, though these liabilities were
only found for European American youth. The discussion emphasizes the importance of examining ethnic identity as a dynamic
construct that can vary as a function of relationships, and proposes directions for future research.

Self-reported ethnic labels were examined among 242 young American adults with Chinese ancestry (age range = 18–32 years,
M = 23.97; 73% female, 27% male). Ethnic labels fell under broad categories whereby 22% reported heritage national labels (e.g.,
Chinese), 35% added American to their heritage national label (e.g., Chinese American), and 42% reported panethnic-American
labels (e.g., Asian American). Logistic regressions revealed that generation and ethnic exploration significantly predicted
the odds of choosing heritage national and heritage national-American labels. Ethnic label choice was not associated with
average differences in the ethnic diversity of youths’ community or peer group, or with heritage language proficiency. However,
label choice was associated with generation, ethnic identity, and English proficiency. Ethnic labels also were linked to self-esteem
and positive relationships with Asian peers, with most optimal outcomes reported by youth who chose heritage national-American
labels.

Gender Differences in the Educational Expectations of Urban,Low-Income African American Youth: The Role of Parents and the School 总被引:2,自引:1,他引:1
This study examined how youths’ gender is related to the educational expectations of urban, low-income African American youth,
their parents, and their teachers. As predicted, African American boys (ages 9–16) reported lower expectations for future
educational attainment than did their female counterparts. Parents and teachers also reported lower expectations for African
American boys (ages 6–16) than for girls. These findings held even when controlling for academic achievement. Contrary to
predictions, the magnitude of the difference in expectations for males vs. females did not increase as a function of youths’
age. In keeping with our hypotheses, parental expectations fully mediated the relation between youths’ gender and youths’
expectations. Finally, certain school-based factors (i.e., positive teacher expectations and positive youth perceptions of
the school environment) appeared to protect youths’ expectations from the deleterious impact of low parental expectations.

Ninth graders (N = 679; 50% male, 50% female) from Latin American (41%), Asian (38%), and European (21%) backgrounds reported on their ethnic
identity and family attitudes and relationships. Adolescents also completed daily checklists of family interactions over a
two-week period. Results indicated that ethnic identity, measured through exploration and belonging was more strongly associated
with family obligation and assistance than with parent–child closeness and family leisure time. Adolescents from Latin American
and Asian backgrounds reported significantly higher levels of obligation and assistance as compared to adolescents with European
backgrounds, and these ethnic differences were mediated by ethnic identity. Longitudinal analyses indicated ongoing associations,
with ethnic identity predicting respect and obligation one year later. The discussion focuses on the role of ethnic identity
in children’s family connectedness during adolescence.

The current study examined relationships between adolescents’ and mothers’ reports of ethnic-racial socialization and adolescents’
ethnic-racial identity. The sample included 170 sixth graders (49% boys, 51% girls) and their mothers, all of whom identified
as Black, Puerto Rican, Dominican, or Chinese. Two dimensions of ethnic-racial socialization (cultural socialization and preparation
for bias) were evaluated alongside three dimensions of ethnic-racial identity (exploration, affirmation and belonging, and
behavioral engagement). Mothers’ reports of their cultural socialization predicted adolescents’ reports, but only adolescents’
reports predicted adolescents’ ethnic-racial identity processes. Mothers’ reports of preparation for bias predicted boys’
but not girls’ reports of preparation for bias. Again, only adolescents’ reports of preparation for bias predicted their ethnic-racial
identity. Thus, several gender differences in relationships emerged, with mothers’ and adolescents’ perceptions of cultural
socialization, in particular, playing a more important role in girls’ than in boys’ identity processes. We discuss the implications
of these findings for future research.

Latino Adolescents’ Civic Development in the United States: Research Results from the IEA Civic Education Study 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Judith Torney-Purta Carolyn H. Barber Britt Wilkenfeld 《Journal of youth and adolescence》2007,36(2):111-125
Many studies have reported gaps between Latino and non-Latino adolescents in academic and political outcomes. The current
study presents possible explanations for such gaps, both at the individual and school level. Hierarchical linear modeling
is employed to examine data from 2,811 American ninth graders (approximately 14 years of age) who had participated in the
IEA Civic Education study. Analyses of large data bases enable the consideration of individual characteristics and experiences,
as well as the context of classrooms and schools. In comparison with non-Latino students, Latino adolescents report more positive
attitudes toward immigrants’ rights but have lower civic knowledge and expected civic participation. These differences were
apparent even when controlling for language, country of birth, and political discussions with parents. School characteristics
that explain a portion of this gap include open classroom climate and time devoted to study of political topics and democratic
ideals. Results are discussed within the framework of developmental assets and political socialization. Implications for educational
policy and ways to use large data sets are also discussed.

The current study empirically examined predictors of level of voice (ethnicity, attachment, and gender role socialization)
in a diverse sample of 108 14-year-old girls. Structural equation modeling results indicated that parental attachment predicted
level of voice with authority figures, and gender role socialization predicted level of voice with authority figures and peers.
Both masculinity and femininity were salient for higher levels of voice with authority figures whereas higher scores on masculinity
contributed to higher levels of voice with peers. These findings suggest that, contrary to previous theoretical work, femininity
itself is not a risk factor for low levels of voice. In addition, African-American girls had higher levels of voice with teachers
and classmates than did Caucasian girls, and girls who were in a school with a greater concentration of ethnic minorities
had higher levels of voice with peers than did girls at a school with fewer minority students.
