Adolescent Emotional Competence Mediates Relations Between Parental Emotional Vulnerability During Conversations and Adolescent Depressive Symptoms
The transition to middle school presents new challenges to adolescents' mental health. Two of the strongest protective factors against depressive symptoms are emotional competence and optimism. Parents contribute to these factors through emotion socialization practices during conversations about adolescent challenges. However, research on the effects of parental emotional vulnerability during those conversations is limited. We investigated direct…
Low-Income Adolescents’ Future Goals and Current Achievement: Parents as Sources of Resilience During the Transition to Middle School
Adolescents growing up in low-income communities experience decreases in school engagement during their transition to middle school due to multiple stressors. Holding goals for their futures increases their resilience, yet research on the types of goals that are most beneficial and on parents’ influence on the formation of future goals is limited. This study investigated relations between parental academic socialization, adolescent goals, and ado…

Conceptualizing culture in research on parenting and child development: Carving, categorizing, and communicating pathways
In this paper, I propose a conceptualization of culture as a set of processes involving pathways of acting in the world. These cultural processes are: (1) choosing existing pathways or carving out new ones, (2) attaching meanings to and categorizing pathways, and categorizing people according to their movement on pathways, and (3) communicating about shared pathways with each other and with others on different pathways. I explicate this conceptua…
The Unique Effects of Fathers’ Warmth on Adolescents’ Positive Beliefs and Behaviors: Pathways to Resilience in Low-Income Families
Parents’ School Satisfaction and Academic Socialization Predict Adolescents’ Autonomous Motivation: A Mixed-Method Study of Low-Income Ethnic Minority Families
In this mixed-methods study, we used an explanatory sequential design to investigate the processes through which parental involvement influences adolescents’ achievement motivation. One hundred twenty low-income urban parents and their sixth-grade adolescents completed questionnaires, and a subsample of 11 mothers and 11 adolescents were interviewed. Parents’ questionnaires measured their satisfaction with their childhood school experiences, thei…
Sparking an interest: A qualitative study of Latina science identity development
Latinas are noticeably underrepresented in science majors, yet only limited research investigates specific behaviors and events that encourage Latinas’ connection to science. This study uses an ecocultural framework to identify socialization factors that promote the development of Latina science identities. Thirty-two college-aged Latinas in science-related majors participated in focus groups, and an additional 12 participated in interviews. Usin…
Home-Based Parental Involvement in Young Children’s Learning Across U.S. Ethnic Groups: Cultural Models of Academic Socialization
Despite a growing body of research on school-based parental involvement, our knowledge of home-based involvement beliefs and practices, and how these vary across ethnic groups, remains limited. Our study addresses this gap by exploring how the meanings of educational achievement and parents’ roles in young children’s learning vary across ethnic groups. The aim of this study was to construct a detailed picture of the landscape of parental home-bas…
Relations Between Colorblind Socialization and Children’s Racial Bias: Evidence From European American Mothers and Their Preschool Children
To examine European American parents' racial socialization, mothers (n = 84) were videotaped while reading 2 race-themed books to their 4- to 5-year-old children and completed surveys concerning their racial attitudes and behaviors. Children completed measures of their racial attitudes and both groups (mothers and preschoolers) predicted the others' racial attitudes. Results indicated that nearly all mothers adopted "colormute" and "colorblind" a…
Poverty, Race, and Parental Involvement During the Transition to Elementary School
Using multilevel models of data from the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study-Kindergarten Cohort ( N = 20,356), the authors find that parental involvement in education partially mediates the association between family poverty and children's math and reading achievement in kindergarten, but differences exist across race. In Asian families, poor and nonpoor children have similar levels of achievement. Poverty is not related to Black children's parti…
A Reliability Generalization Study of Scores on Rotter's and Nowicki-Strickland's Locus of Control Scales
The most commonly used measures of locus of control are Rotter's Internality-Externality Scale (I-E) and Nowicki and Strickland's Internality-Externality Scale (NSIE). A reliability generalization study is conducted to explore variability in I-E and NSIE score reliability. Studies are coded for aspects of the scales used (number of response points, number of items) and for sample demographic descriptors (percentage female, average age). Results i…

African American Mothers' Socialization Beliefs and Goals With Young Children: Themes of History, Education, and Collective Independence
Although research on African American family socialization is increasing, little is known about the beliefs, goals, and strategies of middle-class parents of young children. This study's aim was to address this research gap by examining three key aspects of parental socialization. First, the authors investigated whether and how African American mothers engage in racial socialization. Second, they examined the meanings of educational achievement t…
Mothering and Peer Associations Mediate Cumulative Risk Effects for Latino Youth
The present study examined whether positive parenting and deviant peer associations mediated the relations between a cumulative risk composite comprising financial strain, neighborhood problems, and maternal psychological distress and subsequent youth adjustment problems. Drawn from the Welfare, Children, and Families: A Three City Study, the sample consisted of 449 economically disadvantaged Latino families. Structural equation modeling showed t…
Examining Resource and Protective Factors in the Adjustment of Latino Youth in Low Income Families: What Role Does Maternal Acculturation Play
Parents' Goals and Values for Children: Dimensions of Independence and Interdependence Across Four U.S. Ethnic Groups
Parents' long-term goals and values for their children vary across U.S. ethnic groups. Researchers have found that ethnic minority groups tend to promote interdependence, and European Americans tend to promote independence, yet evidence of both orientations has also been found within each ethnic group. To compare both the similarities and variations between ethnic groups, this study used a multiethnic questionnaire measuring multiple dimensions o…
Mother-Child Relationships in France: Balancing Autonomy and Affiliation in Everyday Interactions
French child-rearing beliefs share features of both individualist and collectivist cultural orientations and have appeared contradictory within this individualism-collectivism framework in previous research. For this study, 32 Parisian mothers of infants and young children were interviewed regarding four possible sources of variation in their relationships with their children: interpersonal distance, communicative accommodation, desirable and und…
French and American Mothers' Childrearing Beliefs: Stimulating, Responding, and Long-Term Goals
Previous research on French parenting suggests that the French share characteristics with both individualistic and collectivist cultures, but cross-cultural studies remain scarce. For this study, 84 European American and 120 French mothers completed two measures of beliefs about childrearing practices with 1-day-old to 3-year-old children and long-term goals and values for children. Both groups believed stimulating practices to be more important …
