Cultivating Consciousness Among Black Women
This study was conducted to assess the relationship between political ideology and self-esteem among African American female college students. From a historically Black university, 164 women were sampled. A series of standard multiple regression were employed to assess the relationship between political ideology, age, and self-esteem. Results of the study indicated that Black Nationalism was a significant predictor of self-esteem and that age was…
Black Studies and Political Ideology as Predictors of Self-Esteem
This article assesses the relationship between enrollment in Black studies courses, political ideology, and self-esteem in Black college students. Although a number of studies have focused on racial identity and self-esteem, few have investigated how a race-first political consciousness among African Americans develops and whether it is related to healthier psychological outcomes. To elucidate the relationship between Black nationalism, Black stu…

The Home Environments of Children in the United States Part I
Although measures of the home environment have gained wide acceptance in the child development literature, what constitutes the “average” or “typical” home environment in the United States, and how this differs across ethnic groups and poverty status is not known. Item‐level data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth on four age‐related versions of the Home Observation for Measurement of the Environment–Short Form (HOME‐SF) from five bie…

Family and child influences on educational attainment
The central question addressed in this study was, What factors contribute to individual differences in the educational attainment of African American young adults from families of low socioeconomic status ? A secondary analysis of the Perry Preschool data set was conducted.

Factors Related to Self-Esteem Among African America Youths
Data from the Perry Preschool study on 121 African American adolescents were used to explore the correlates of self-esteem. Consistent with Harter's (1990) theoretical integration of the perspectives of William James and Charles Cooley, we expected African American adolescents to be high in self-esteem if they experienced success in areas that were important to them and if they perceived that significant others held them in high regard. Specifica…

A Preliminary Study of Family Values of the Women of Zimbabwe
The values held by women who live in Harare, Zimbabwe were examined as those values were expressed in the proverbs used by the Shona people in Zimbabwe. Proverbs were used earlier with AfricanAmerican women to obtain assessments of values. With the assistance of a panel of experts, 15 proverbs were selected from a book of 1,000 Shona proverbs. The proverbs were found to be equivalent to 15 of the 30 proverbs that had been used in an original list…
Family Values and Outcomes for Children
African American families are presently undergoing so many changes one cannot help but wonder if they are holding onto the same values they held in the past. Have changes in traditional family structural arrangements and the high number of children living in nontraditional families caused African American parents and their children to adopt a different set of values today, or have family structures survived relatively intact from one generation t…
Achievement in the First 2 Years of School
How successfully children adapt to the routine of schooling in the first grade or two likely has long-term implications for their cognitive and affective development. This study aims to understand how home and school factors either facilitate or impede this process of adaptation by examining longitudinal data on cognitive performance for a large and diverse sample of youngsters over grades 1 and 2 in Baltimore City Public Schools. Report-card mar…

Strategies used by Black Single Mothers against Stress
In a recent study, coping strategies used by 318 black single mothers faced with conflicting role demands and stress were assessed.

Conflicts existed between the role of mother and employee and between the women's work and childrearing. For conflicts, women selected the least healthy of the three possible coping strategies. They a…

Youth, School, and the Family in Transition
Family patterns are influenced by low incomes and high costs of living. Schooling has not kept pace with changes in technology and employment opportunities
Family therapy in the Black community
Black, upwardly mobile families face all the stresses experienced by other families dealing with developmental crises and economic changes, but are subject to the additional strain of discrimination. Support, often unavailable from the community, is received instead from the family and others involved in the kinship network. Treatment strategies designed for the unique situation of the black family are proposed
