  • Modeling longitudinal change patterns of self-regulation from early to middle childhood

    Open AccessMargaret O''Brien Caughy, Todd D Little et al.ARTICLEDevelopmental Psychology2025

    Patterns of change in self-regulation from the ages of 2.5 to 12 years were modeled using repeated measures of self-regulation for a sample of 399 African American ( n = 180, 45%) and Latinx ( n = 219, 55%) children from families experiencing low income. Measures included both direct assessment and parent report. Results confirmed four components of self-regulation: working memory, inhibitory control, complex response inhibition, and set shifting…

  • Mother–Child Inter‐ and Intra‐personal Affect Is Associated With Dynamic Trajectories of Physiological Self‐Regulation in Black and Latinx Youth

    Open AccessMolly E Hale, Kayley E Morrow et al.ARTICLEDevelopmental Psychobiology2025Referencias: 83

    Inter‐ and intrapersonal affect (IIPA; mother–child warm emotional exchange and individual expressions of positive affect) supports adaptive child self‐regulation in Black and Latinx families but has yet to be assessed in relation to youth's respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA). Contextual stressors (income, internalizing symptoms) can undermine Black and Latinx children's RSA regulation. Using a self‐regulation promotion framework, this study exam…

  • “At the end of the day, someone done lost their child”

    Open AccessKimberly R M Osborne, LaRen Morton et al.ARTICLEFamily Process2024

    How Black Americans in the United States (U.S.) make sense of a sociopolitical climate marked by racist imagery, tensions, and police violence is important to understand given the numerously documented detrimental effects of racism‐related stress on the well‐being of Black parents and children. Informed by Racism‐Related Stress Theory, the current study employed a convergent parallel mixed methods design to better understand the ways racism‐relat…

  • Acculturation stress magnifies child depression effect of stressful life events for Latinx youth 3 years later

    Open AccessAshley A Walsdorf, Margaret O''Brien Caughy et al.ARTICLEJournal of Latinx Psychology2024

    Adding to the literature on SLEs within Latinx families, these results indicate that acculturation and socio-political climate stressors need be considered in discussions of the effects of life stress on Latinx youth and their families

  • Actively changing the narrative

    Open AccessKatharine Suma, LaRen Morton et al.ARTICLEInfant Mental Health Journal2024Referencias: 67

    Recognizing culturally salient aspects of socialization practices and understanding how these practices support culturally valued aspects of development is an integral component in conducting anti‐racist research and validating the lived experiences of minoritized families. With this aim, we explored how Active Direction, an observational rating of an African American approach to parenting measured during mother–child interactions at age 2.5 ( n …

  • Mothers’ School Readiness Beliefs and Literacy Involvement and Children’s Academic Outcomes in Ethnic Minority Families

    Dawn Y Brinkley, Margaret O''Brien Caughy et al.ARTICLEEarly Education and Development2023

    This research tested a mediation model, examining whether individual differences in mothers’ school readiness beliefs influenced home literacy practices and children’s later academic achievement among African American (n = 114) and primarily Mexican origin Latina mothers (n = 164) and their children. Mothers of children ages 3–4 years reported school readiness beliefs and home literacy practices. Later (ages 6–7 years), reading and math achieveme…

  • Message received

    Open AccessMargaret O''Brien Caughy, Lois Ann Anderson et al.ARTICLECultural Diversity & Ethnic…2023Referencias: 9

    Incorporating both parent and youth reports of ERS provides a more complete picture of these practices and associated outcomes. Implications for the study of ERS and clinical intervention are discussed. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved)

  • Stability of parenting profiles in early childhood for African American children in households experiencing poverty

    Open AccessMargaret Tresch Owens, Daniel Pacheco et al.ARTICLEEarly Childhood Research Quarterly2023Referencias: 15

  • Changes in Ethnic Identity in Middle Childhood

    Open AccessLaRen Morton, Lois Ann Anderson et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of Early Adolescence2023Referencias: 25

    The present study examined changes in ethnic and racial identity (ERI) over one year among 353 Black and Latino early adolescents in relation to ethnic-racial socialization (ERS) and neighborhood economic and demographic characteristics. Parent and child reports of ERS were collected, and child ERI was assessed via self-report. Neighborhood measures included economic disadvantage and ethnic diversity. Results indicated parent report of preparatio…

  • Patterns of Observed Dyadic Ethnic-Racial Socialization among Black and Latinx Families in Response to a Hypothetical Experience of Discrimination at School

    Open AccessKimberly R M Osborne, Margaret O''Brien Caughy et al.ARTICLEJournal of Youth and Adolescence2023Referencias: 45

  • “The Talk” and Parenting While Black in America

    Open AccessLois Ann Anderson, Margaret O''Brien Caughy et al.ARTICLEJournal of Black Psychology2022

    “The Talk” refers to a specific type of racial socialization message that many Black parents have with their children about how to safely conduct themselves when interacting with police officers and other individuals in positions of power. With the recent increased exposure of racialized violence against Black people at the hands of police and vigilantes in the United States, many parents of young Black children now feel especially compelled to i…

  • Emergence of ethnic–racial socialization for African American and Latinx families

    Open AccessMariah M Contreras, Margaret O''Brien Caughy et al.ARTICLECultural Diversity & Ethnic…2022Citada por: 3Referencias: 10

    This study provides evidence that ERS strategies commonly used with older children emerge very early on in family experiences and supports the notion that the transition to kindergarten marks a notable ecological shift for ethnic minority children.

  • Preparing Black and Latinx children for police encounters

    Open AccessKimberly R M Osborne, Mia Smith Bynum et al.ARTICLEJournal of Research on Adolescence2022Citada por: 3Referencias: 23

    We hypothesized that the goodness-of-fit between profiles of observed, caregiver-provided ethnic-racial socialization (ERS), and child self-regulation (i.e., inhibitory control) would differentially associate with child behavioral outcomes. Conversations between 80 caregivers (45% Latinx; 55% Black) and their children (M age = 11.09; 46% female) were rated for ERS. Measures included an inhibitory control composite (ages 2.5-3.5) and the Child Beh…

  • Responding to racism at school

    Open AccessKimberly R M Osborne, Ashley A Walsdorf et al.ARTICLEChild Development2022Citada por: 6Referencias: 27

    Guided by the Theory of Racial Socialization in Action (TRSA; Smith-Bynum in press), this study examined observed caregiver-provided ethnic-racial socialization in response to a school-based discriminatory dilemma. Forty-five Black and 36 Latinx caregivers (88% mothers) with low-income and their children (Mage = 11.09, SD = 0.29; 46.3% female) participated in Dallas, Texas from 2018 to 2019. Dyads responded to a hypothetical scenario in which a s…

  • Holding both truths

    Open AccessMariah M Contreras, Kimberly R M Osborne et al.ARTICLEJournal of Social Issues2021Citada por: 1Referencias: 51

    Ethnic‐racial socialization is at the core of ethnic minority families’ adaptive response to a racialized social climate. Protective links between ethnic‐racial socialization and children's adjustment are well documented in the adolescent years; however, very few studies have considered the ethnic‐racial socialization of young children altogether and fewer still have examined the links to adjustment using longitudinal designs. Leveraging unique, …

  • Physiological Stress Response Reactivity Mediates the Link Between Emotional Abuse and Youth Internalizing Problems

  • White Supremacy and the Web of Family Science

    Open AccessAshley A Walsdorf, Lorien S Jordan et al.ARTICLEJournal of Family Theory & Review2020Citada por: 12Referencias: 29

    Family science is at the forefront of understanding the multiple and interconnected risk and protective factors (e.g., poverty vs. wealth, racism and discrimination, privilege) that affect families and the contexts in which they live. In this article, we use the metaphor of spider and web to suggest that family science theorizing is missing an integral piece of the puzzle—the designer of the contexts that have become the field's object of study a…

  • Racism and preparation for bias within African American families

    Kimberly R M Osborne, Margaret O''Brien Caughy et al.ARTICLECultural Diversity & Ethnic…2020Citada por: 4Referencias: 19

    Objectives: Exposure to racism experienced by caregivers poses a threat to child developmental outcomes. The current study examines the effects of caregiver-experienced racism on the development of internalizing behaviors for African American children during a sensitive period in their development of racial awareness. Two aspects of caregiver-provided ethnic racial socialization (ERS), cultural socialization and preparation for bias, were assesse…

  • Culture, parenting, and language

    Open AccessCatherine S Tamis‐lemonda, Margaret O''Brien Caughy et al.ARTICLESocial Development2019Citada por: 3Referencias: 18

    The cultural value of respeto (respect) is central to Latine parenting. Yet, how respeto manifests in the interactions of Latine parents and their young children remains unexamined. Low-income Mexican immigrant Spanish-speaking mothers and their 2.5-year-old toddlers ( N = 128) were video-recorded during play ( M age = 30.2 months, SD = 0.52), and two culturally informed items of respeto were coded: parent calm authority and child affiliative obe…
