Preparation for bias, racial‐ethnic socialization competency, and Latinx adolescent mental health
Although parental preparation for bias messages theoretically protect adolescents from the damaging impact of discrimination, they have been linked to mental health challenges in Latinx adolescents. Parental racial‐ethnic socialization (RES) competency has been proposed to potentially explain this discrepancy. The present study examined whether RES competency (confidence, skill, stress) moderated the relation between parental preparation for bias…

Listening to teachers: Facilitating content and conditions for addressing issues of racism and xenophobia with youth in schools
Teachers are uniquely positioned to promote racial and immigration justice in schools. This study draws on interviews with a U.S. educator sample (N = 26; 50% ethnoracially minoritized; 42.3% pre-K or elementary, 15.4% middle school, 34.6% high school) from a needs assessment for a public scholarship effort aimed at providing resources to advance anti-racism and anti-xenophobia. Combining a rigorous and accelerated data reduction (RADaR) method a…

Coping with racism: Qualitative profiles of adolescents' responses to racial‐ethnic discrimination
Adolescents employ diverse coping strategies to navigate racial-ethnic discrimination, yet research often overlooks how these strategies co-occur. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 33 African American, Latinx, and Asian American high school students living in the southeastern United States (55% girls, 45% boys; M age = 16.03), exploring their responses to various forms of discrimination (e.g., interpersonal, vicarious, online) and pe…
The influence of family instability on Mexican-origin adolescent delinquency through parental monitoring: Moderating roles of adolescent family obligation values and affiliation with deviant peers
Unaddressed adolescent delinquency may contribute to negative adult outcomes, such as poor mental and physical health (Harris-McKoy & Cui, 2013; J. Kim et al., 2020). Although family instability has been identified as a risk factor for adolescent delinquency (Vargas et al., 2013), the hypothesized underlying mechanism of parental monitoring remains relatively underexplored. This is especially the case for Mexican-origin families where parental mo…
Covid-19-induced educational disruptions and children’s executive functioning: A longitudinal cohort study
Literature suggests that the COVID-19 pandemic may have disrupted children's executive functioning (EF) development, but most studies rely on caregiver reports, cross-sectional data, or comparisons across cohorts. We build on the existing literature with repeated, direct assessments of EF from longitudinal pre-post COVID-19 data on a race-ethnically diverse cohort of elementary-aged children ( N = 667) from low-income families. Random-intercept m…
Facilitators and Barriers to Shared Decision-Making Communication Between Latina Mothers and Pediatric Mental Healthcare Providers
This study assessed communication factors influencing shared decision-making (SDM) between language-congruent clinicians and Latina mothers of pediatric mental health patients. The sample comprised Latinx youth up to 22 years old who were enrolled in mental healthcare and attended mental health-related sessions with their parent. One hundred transcripts depicting mental health visits were coded using the Conversation Analysis framework. Coding in…
“So no one feels left out”: Latinx youths’ and parents’ reimagined school realities in the context of cultural stressors
8.51; range = 31 - 71) participated in six separate youth and parent focus groups. Guided by reflexive thematic analysis, we constructed two themes: 1) inclusive, welcoming, and safe schools and 2) schools without cultural stressors and filled with supportive allies; each with three accompanying subthemes. Youths' and parents' reimagined ideal realities revealed needed changes in people and infrastructure within the school context. Youths' and pa…
The talk and walk in Black families: Exploring racial socialization content and competency in the context of parental worries about racial profiling and adolescents' internalizing outcomes
Although many parents worry that their child will be the target of racial profiling, there is a dearth of literature on how parental worries about children facing racism are linked to racial socialization (RS) practices and youth internalizing symptoms. Additionally, it is unclear how RS content relative to competency may uniquely influence whether and how parental worries influence youth internalizing outcomes. Using data from 203 Black parents …

Parental Racial‐Ethnic Socialization and Competence in Asian Families
Objective This study examined how Asian parents' racial‐ethnic socialization (RES) content with their younger children coalesces with their confidence in providing messages about managing discrimination. Background The COVID‐19 pandemic and ensuing rise in anti‐Asian discrimination in the United States prompted Asian parents to talk more about race, ethnicity, and discrimination with their children. Asian parents' discrimination experiences and i…
Engaging or waiting: Variations in Asian American parents’ motivations and approaches to racial socialization during middle childhood and early adolescence
Parental racial socialization has promotive and protective effects on children's development as they navigate their racialized worlds. Few studies have focused on how Asian American parents navigate conversations about race and racism with their children during middle childhood and early adolescence, even though children during this period are making sense of race-related topics and their racial-ethnic identities. The present study qualitatively …
Network analysis of ethnic–racial socialization competency and content among diverse parents of color: An eye toward intervention targets
To help their children survive and thrive in our unequal society, parents of color must engage in the process of ethnic-racial socialization (ERS) or teaching about race, ethnicity, and racism. Equally important to the provision of ERS messages are parents' confidence, skills, and stress levels around delivering ERS (i.e., ERS competency). Currently, little work speaks to how different aspects of parental ERS competency and the content of the mes…
Todo el tiempo no participamos porque se van a burlar” (we never participate because they will make fun of us): Latinx youth give voice to their cultural and systemic stressor experiences
15.3 years; 82% Mexican) from a large and diverse Central Texas school district. Using a reflexive thematic analysis approach, we constructed five themes of cultural and systemic stressors: (a) being othered: treated as different, inferior, and/or a foreigner; (b) cultural racism resulting in linguistic and social isolation; (c) anti-immigration policies: hardships and barriers in daily life; (d) economic disadvantage: greater stress and pressure…
How Collection of Racial Demographics Highlights or Hides Participants' Multiraciality: An Illustrative Example and Warning for Social Scientists
Critical consciousness and anti‐racist action as rooted in family processes
Racially ethnically marginalized communities in the United States are exposed to structural and interpersonal forms of racism that have harmful effects on their health, wealth, education, and employment (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Racism and Health . https://www.cdc.gov/minorityhealth/racism‐disparities/index.html , 2021). Although a plethora of research exists outlining these harmful effects, research examining how youth from di…
Talking through the tough: Identifying facilitating factors to preparation for bias and racial–ethnic discrimination conversations among families from minoritized ethnic–racial groups
Parent–child conversations about race‐related issues serve a protective function for minoritized families and are needed to help children of color thrive in the United States (Hughes et al., Advances in Child Development and Behavior , 51, 2016 and 1). Despite the difficulties that parents experience in having such conversations to prepare youth to cope with discrimination (Priest et al., International Journal of Intercultural Relations , 43, 201…
Service utilization characteristics among adolescents from racial and ethnic minority groups at elevated risk for suicide: A scoping review
Adolescents from racial and ethnic minority groups (herein ethnoracially minoritized) in the US contemplate and/or attempt suicide at higher rates than other youths. To address suicide risk, access to and utilization of mental health services is necessary. However, service utilization characteristics for these adolescents at elevated risk for suicide are not well understood. To systematically synthesize service utilization characteristics and ide…
Parental ethnic–racial socializations messages direct and indirect associations with shift-and-persist coping among minoritized American adolescents
Frequent parental preparation for bias may be indirectly associated with minoritized adolescent's shift-and-persist coping, whereas cultural socialization impacts youth's shift-and-persisting both directly and indirectly. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)
Familism through a developmental lens
This article reviews an emerging literature examining the effects of familism across childhood and adolescence.Familism has been described as a Latino cultural value that emphasizes obligation, filial piety, family support and obedience, and its effects have been documented as primarily protective across childhood and adolescence.This review seeks to organize and critique existing research using a developmental science framework.Key tenets of thi…
The Protective Role of Familism in the Lives of Latino Adolescents
Familism, a Latino value that promotes loyalty, cohesiveness, and obedience within the family, predicts improved outcomes for Latino adolescents. However, few studies have tested whether familism serves a protective role when adolescents are facing stress. We examined whether familism predicted psychosocial outcomes in the context of stress, and whether familism moderated the relationship between peer discrimination, acculturative stress, and eco…
Becoming an American Parent: Overcoming Challenges and Finding Strength in a New Immigrant Latino Community
One in five children living in the United States is an immigrant or a child of an immigrant, and 62% of these children are Latino. Through qualitative methods, this study identifies ways that Latino immigrant parents with adolescent children cope with their new environment and how that environment shapes their parenting practices. Two primary themes emerge: overcoming new challenges and finding new strengths. Immigrant parents discuss the challen…
Cultural Stressors and the Hopelessness Model of Depressive Symptoms in Latino Adolescents
The impact of discrimination and support on developmental competencies in Latino adolescents
Discrimination is considered a contextual risk factor for ethnic minority youth, but social support provided in the same context may function to offset the risk or encourage adaptive responses. Per the integrative model of child development (Garcia Coll et al., 1996), experiences in the school, familial, and community settings can foster the development of cognitive, social, and emotional competencies in the presence of racism and discrimination.…
Race terminology in the field of psychology: Acknowledging the growing multiracial population in the U.S
The field of psychology is coming toward a critical juncture; scholars are increasingly recognizing that race, ethnicity, and culture play important roles in their fields of study, but do not always have the language to integrate race and culture into their own work. Furthermore, common conceptions of race may systematically exclude those from multiple racial and ethnic backgrounds in favor of fixed and discrete racial categories that ultimately …
The Influence of Cultural Identity and Perceived Barriers on College-Going Beliefs and Aspirations of Latino Youth in Emerging Immigrant Communities
Emerging immigrant communities differ from established communities in terms of needs and available resources. Students in these emerging communities may still be acculturating to new contexts and establishing their ethnic identities, which may impact their ability to engage in planning for the future. The current study examines what impact these cultural identity variables, in addition to perceptions of barriers to college entrance, would have on…
When Discrimination Hurts: The Longitudinal Impact of Increases in Peer Discrimination on Anxiety and Depressive Symptoms in Mexican-origin Youth
Latent Profiles of Discrimination and Socialization Predicting Ethnic Identity and Well‐Being Among Asian American Adolescents
Ethnic identity is rooted in sociocultural processes, but little is known about how social interactions predict its longitudinal changes. Using data from 154 Asian American adolescents, latent profile analysis derived four typologies based on unfair treatment (i.e., discrimination, model minority stereotyping) and ethnic socialization (i.e., cultural socialization, preparation for bias, promotion of mistrust): Low Cultural Salience, High Cultural…
Ethnic–racial socialization in Latino families: The influence of mothers’ socialization practices on adolescent private regard, familism, and perceived ethnic–racial discrimination
Our results highlight maternal private regard as particularly important for understanding how youth perceptions of socialization processes encourage the development of adolescent cultural characteristics and the benefit of using specific assessment tools, such as a familism socialization measure, to identify how ethnic-racial socialization processes serve as intergenerational links. Directions for future research and implications for intervention…
Ethnic identity as a protective factor in the lives of Asian American adolescents
This study examined the buffering role of ethnic identity for Asian American adolescents living in an emerging immigrant community. A sample of 176 Asian American ninth graders completed self-report measures assessing ethnic identity, stressors (i.e., perceived racial/ethnic discrimination; economic stress), and mental health outcomes (i.e., depressive symptoms, self-esteem) at two time points a year apart. The study tested whether ethnic identit…
Acculturation conflict among Latino youth: Discrimination, ethnic identity, and depressive symptoms
These results suggest that for Latino youth and their families, acculturation conflict may be particularly problematic, as compared with general conflict. In addition, youth who face ethnicity-based stressors in both familial and school contexts are especially at risk in their ethnic identity development. (PsycINFO Database Record
A longitudinal examination of perceived discrimination and depressive symptoms in ethnic minority youth: The roles of attributional style, positive ethnic/racial affect, and emotional reactivity
Although perceived ethnic/racial discrimination is well established as a risk factor for depressive symptoms in ethnic minority youth, few studies have examined their longitudinal relationship over time. This study examined whether a negative attributional style, positive ethnic/racial affect, and emotional reactivity moderated the longitudinal relationship of perceived peer or adult discrimination and depressive symptoms in a sample of African A…
Commands, competence, and cariño: Maternal socialization practices in Mexican American families
Early research on the socialization of Latino children has posited that mothers exercise authoritarian practices, compared with lateral reasoning (authoritative) strategies emphasized by Anglo mothers. This work aimed to categorize fixed types of parenting practices tied to the mother's personality rather than to culturally bounded contexts; it often ignored the emotional warmth or harshness present in compliance attempts and relied on interview …
Perceptions of Undocumented Status and Possible Selves Among Latino/a Youth
Although only a portion of Latina/o adolescents in the United States are undocumented, the social perception of legal status may influence Latina/o youth living in immigrant communities more broadly. This perception has implications not only for how Latina/o youth understand themselves but also for how they construct their aspirations. Qualitative interviews and consensual qualitative research protocols were utilized to understand how perceptions…
One talk at a time: Developing an ethnic‐racial socialization intervention for Black, Latinx, and Asian American families
Ethnic‐racial socialization (ERS) can promote positive outcomes in minoritized youth, but parents often face challenges in effectively engaging in these conversations. We describe the development of a video‐based online parent intervention program aimed at improving parental motivation, efficacy, and skills in having ERS conversations. The program focuses on balancing cultural socialization and preparation for bias messages and integrates themes …
Protective and Promotive Effects of Latino Early Adolescents' Cultural Assets Against Multiple Types of Discrimination
Given adversity associated with discrimination, it is important to identify culturally relevant factors that may protect against its harmful effects. Using latent variable interactions, this study examined the moderating effects of cultural assets on the association between multiple types of discrimination and adolescents' adjustment. Participants included 174 seventh- and eighth-grade Latino adolescents (51% girls); majority were of Mexican orig…
Ethnic Identity and Familism Among Latino College Students: A Test of Prospective Associations
The present study examined the longitudinal associations among familism respect and obligations values, ethnic centrality and private regard, and ethnic self-identification. Data were drawn from a socioeconomically diverse sample of Latino students attending a predominantly White university. The selection of a White label was associated with less positive private regard, less ethnic centrality, and less strong endorsement of familism respect and …
A 21st Century Take on Racial-Ethnic Socialization: Patterns of Competency and Content among Diverse Parents of Color
Racial-ethnic socialization is a process where parents pass beliefs and behaviors to their children, including critical reflections on race and racism. Currently, it is not well known across racial/ethnic groups in the U.S how parents' socialization competency (confidence, skills, and stress surrounding the delivery of racial-ethnic socialization) coalesces with the frequency with which they deliver different types of socialization messages (soci…
A person-centered analysis of ethnic–racial socialization patterns and their identity correlates in multiracial college students
The current study provides evidence that the pattern of socialization messages Multiracial participants received growing up impact their ethnic-racial identity endorsement. Results highlight the need for continued quantitative and person-centered work when studying socialization and identity in Multiracials. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2021 APA, all rights reserved
Familism in action in an emerging immigrant community: An examination of indirect effects in early adolescence
Familism values promote the positive adaptation of Latinx youth, but few studies have examined potential indirect effects associated with these positive effects. In emerging immigrant communities, where fewer resources are available to youth and families to maintain cultural values and ties, familism may be especially important. In this study of 175 primarily second-generation Latinx youth in such a community, we tested whether familism values we…

An Examination of the Leaving Home Transition for Children of Alcoholics and Their Families: A Comparison of Latino and Non-Latino European Americans
Researchers examined whether ethnicity alters the risk for difficulty in the transition out the home among children of alcoholics (COAs). We tested this question in a community based, longitudinal sample of 705 COAs and matched with non-COA controls as well as their parents. Latino COAs were less likely to leave home than were Euro-American COAs. Ethnicity and COA status independently influenced young adult and parental experiences of the transit…

A longitudinal examination of perceived racial/ethnic discrimination, public ethnic regard, and depressive symptoms in Latino youth
This longitudinal study examined the role of perceived racial/ethnic discrimination and public ethnic regard on depressive symptoms in an adolescent Latino sample (n = 141) living in an emerging immigrant community. Using a cross lagged model, this study found that Time 1 (T1) discrimination did not predict T2 depressive symptoms, nor did depressive symptoms predict T2 discrimination. However, public ethnic regard served as a significant moderato…
Impact of trauma exposure and acculturative stress on internalizing symptoms for recently arrived migrant‐origin youth: Results from a community‐based partnership
Migrant youth face cultural challenges upon initial adjustment into the United States. Although there is considerable empirical evidence that trauma impacts interpersonal relations, there is a dearth of research examining the association between adverse events and the initial social and cultural exchange experience, and whether this is associated with psychological adjustment. This study examined self‐report data for 87 newly arrived migrant‐orig…
Latina/o parent activation in children’s mental health treatment: The role of demographic and psychological factors
Patient activation has recently emerged as a critical component of effective health care (Hibbard & Greene, 2013), but Latina/o populations demonstrate lower levels of activation compared to non-Latina/o Whites (Cunningham, Hibbard, & Gibbons, 2011). The current study examined demographic and psychological factors associated with immigrant Latina/o parent activation in parents seeking mental health services for their children. Additionally, the s…
Ethnic identity in context of ethnic discrimination: When does gender and other-group orientation increase risk for depressive symptoms for immigrant-origin young adults
For this sample, social identity theory was relevant to the impact of affirmation/belonging on the relation between ethnic discrimination and depressive symptoms contingent on other-group orientation and gender. This finding underscores the importance of examining ethnic identity in a nuanced manner. Implications for these results extend to college counseling centers, where inclusion of sociocultural identity in case conceptualization would be us…
