Social Ecology, Genomics, and African American Health
This article offers a model that clarifies the degree of interdependence between social ecology and genomic processes. Drawing on principles from nonlinear dynamics, the model delineates major lines of bifurcation involving people's habitat, their family health history, and collective catastrophes experienced by their community. It shows how mechanisms of resource acquisition, depletion, and preservation can lead to disruptions in basic metabolis…
The Significance of Contextual Factors in African American Students' Transfer of Learning
This study sought to address the lack of experimental research examining the influence of contextual factors on African American students' learning. A total of 162 low-income African American and White fourth graders were randomly assigned to ethnically homogeneous, communally structured groups of three to work on a motion acceleration task using either computer simulation or physical tools, or to a control group that did not participate in the l…
Cultural Diversity, Pedagogy, and Assessment Strategies
This article discusses a model of nesting based on race/ethnicity, language, and origin. Using data from the High School & Beyond national survey, it demonstrates how this model can be used to examine cultural diversity and disaggregate achievement test results both within and across LI.S. racial/ethnic groups. The argument is made that such a model holds greater pedagogical utility than do simple White-non-White academic performance comparisons.…
Socialization Forces and the Stability of Work Values from Late Adolescence to Early Adulthood
The present report is of findings from a longitudinal study of work values. The findings relate to four important areas, (a) the significance of parental socialization in the formation of intrinsic and extrinsic work values, (b) the effect of early employment on intrinsic and extrinsic work values, respectively, (c) the differential effects of these social experiences across ethnic and gender groups, (d) and the stability of intrinsic and extrins…
Exposure to community violence and African American children
The present study seeks to investigate how various facets of social and emotional adjustment, in a sample of urban African American children, are affected by their chronic exposure to community violence and other risk factors in their lives. It further explores how various resources in their environment sustain these children's adjustment at home and in school. In examining these issues, we endeavored to account for both the general and the diffe…
Beyond the Bell Curve

Self-Esteem, Source of Influence, and Orientation toward Freedom and Solidarity
With 98 undergraduate students the effects of four factors on orientation toward freedom and solidarity were examined. The four factors were self-esteem, source of influence, age, and social desirability. An analysis of covariance controlling for the effects of social desirability and age yielded a significant main effect only for the self-esteem factor. Subjects with high self-esteem scores rated freedom and solidarity higher than did those with…
Acceptance, Resistance, and the Value System of Young Adults
This discussion concerns criterion-referenced interpretation of value scales. To improve the process, borrowing from social judgment theory is suggested to expand the conventional taxonomy of affective goals. Testing that approach with a group of 145 predominantly black college freshmen, the study illuminates the patterns of adherence and resistance in their value system. Spirituality was the most salient dimension for a majority (55%) of partici…
The Development and Validation of the Current Life Orientation Scale
This paper discusses the theoretical framework for the Current Life Orientation Scale. This instrument measures the scope of personal values in five broad areas. Investigations with three age groups (124 African-Americans and 20 older volunteers) show that all five subscores have high reliability and are not significantly affected by social desirability. Patterns of correlations with Rokeach's Value Survey ( n = 71) and Coopersmith's Self-esteem …
Self-Esteem of African American Preadolescents
Social scientists have long taken an interest in development of children's self-concept and its relationship to such socially critical behaviors as academic achievement, teenage pregnancy, and juvenile delinquency (Ames, 1978). Because of persistent and relatively high incidence of these problems among African American adolescents, issue of identity and self-esteem has preoccupied African American psychologists and educators particularly. Some of…
Models of Intelligence and the Black Intellect
Thus far, most of the conclusions about the intelligence of Black people have been arrived at on the basis of circumstantial rather than direct evidence since the psychological and social experiences of Blacks are rarely placed at the center of scientific investigation. The tendency has been to view the differences between Blacks and Whites as the primary and only constitutive characteristics of the Black mind. Observations of a relative value ha…
