Identifying Risk and Protective Factors in Research on Mental Health and Black American Adolescents
This literature review synthesizes research on Black American adolescents' mental health published between 1990 and 2022 to identify prominent risk factors and highlight key protective factors for their mental health. Two research questions guided this review: (a) How did researchers examine mental health in Black American adolescents; and (b) What are the risk and protective factors that contribute to mental health outcomes among Black American …
Dismantling the Black–White Achievement Gap Paradigm
More than half a century of educational efforts have focused on eliminating the Black–White achievement gap. Yet, racial disparities persist. In this article, we describe the issues with educational discourse focused on the achievement gap and the ways structural racism drives the educational experiences and outcomes of Black students. We include a discussion of Black children’s developmental competencies and the ways educators may use culturally…
Hair Messages
Racial socialization is a multidimensional process that is critical to the social development of African American boys and men. Examining messages that may promote Black male racial socialization can provide insight into how race and gender identity development occur. This study explored how racial socialization is illustrated through recollected hair stories of African American men. A qualitative thematic analysis was utilized to examine the nar…
I Just Want to Be Me, Authentically”
Identity shifting represents a common but complex social, behavioral, and cognitive phenomenon. However, some forms of identity shifting originate in response to structural, institutional, and interpersonal marginalization enacted on lower status groups, such as people of color in the United States. The current study investigated ways young adults from diverse ethnic/racial groups discussed shifting to fit in with White Americans (a dominant grou…

Father Participation in a Community‐doula Home‐visiting Intervention With Young, African American Mothers
This article examines the extent and nature of father participation in a perinatal, community‐based doula home‐visiting intervention that served young, African American mothers from low‐income backgrounds and their infants. Home‐visitor service records were used to assess the quantity, setting, and content of father‐attended visits. Correlates of fathers’ participation and thematic insights from mothers’ and home‐visitors’ perspectives on how fat…
The good, the bad, and the ambivalent
The relationship that develops between early childhood service providers and parents is seen as a critical component in program implementation, although little is known about how service providers and parents view this relationship. The current qualitative study examines the helping relationship between doulas and 12 African American adolescent mothers who participated in a larger study of prenatal and postnatal support. Mothers and their doulas …
Culture
This study examined the ways in which cultural orientation (communalism and material well‐being) and empathy influence the moral reasoning of African American middle to late adolescents. Specifically, this study utilized path analysis to investigate Ward's (1995) hypothesis that a communal orientation would promote morality among African American adolescents, while a material well‐being orientation would mitigate against it. In addition, it was h…
Predictors of Moral Reasoning among African American Children
This study examined the ways in which gender, empathy, and cultural orientation (communalism and competitive individualism) influence the moral judgments of urban fifth and eighth grade African American children. Pencil and paper measures of these constructs were completed by 44 fifth and 46 eighth graders. Results revealed greater endorsement of communalism among girls than boys. Separate correlation matrices and path analysis models were comput…
