Strength-based and culturally grounded approaches to supporting young Black men’s mental health
Research on young Black men’s mental health has often been shaped by deficit-oriented frameworks that emphasize pathology while obscuring cultural strengths and structural context. This paper advances a strength-based, culturally grounded perspective by synthesizing interdisciplinary literature on the social, cultural, and ecological factors shaping young Black men’s mental health. Rather than positioning young Black men as problems to be managed…
Examining the Link Between Critical Thinking, In-School Racial Discrimination, and Perceptions of Future College-Going Beliefs
Youth from racial minority backgrounds frequently report encountering racial discrimination within their school. These experiences can create additional barriers to their pursuit of higher education. This study explored whether critical thinking can protect and enhance youth college aspirations despite discrimination. We examined whether critical thinking protects against the impact of racial discrimination on beliefs about future college plans i…

School Racial Climate and the Racialized Experiences of Racially Minoritized Youth in Schools: What We Know and Where to Go
The importance of the school environment in the development and achievement of youth has been well-documented. Racial inequities within the school environment may lead to differential schooling experiences and perceptions between racially minoritized youth and their White peers. Differences in school racial climate contribute to the achievement gap and impact psychosocial outcomes. Despite this understanding, school racial climate literature rema…

Social Media and Youth Sociopolitical Identity Development: Navigating Key Tensions with Marginalized Adolescent Organizers
Sociopolitical development (SPD) is a protective and promotive factor for racial- and gender-marginalized youth. More than ever, social media and other information communication technologies (ICT) serve as a context for youth SPD. However, the relationship between social media and youth SPD is poorly understood. This study investigates the interaction between social media and the sociopolitical identity development of racial- and gender-marginali…
Perceptions of school climate and depression among Black youth: Do sex and income matter
Schools play a crucial role in shaping adolescents' development as they navigate the social world beyond their families, with school climate-students' perceptions of the social environment-emerging as a key influence on their mental health outcomes. Previous studies with Black adolescent samples from lower socioeconomic backgrounds have found a link between school climate perceptions and psychological functioning. Black adolescents have been foun…
Measuring Afrocentrism: A Review of Existing Instruments
Measurement of Afrocentrism and investigation of Afrocentricity’s significance in the lives of Black Americans has gained momentum, given the current evidence suggesting that cultural factors matter in the lives of diverse populations. In particular, factors associated with African philosophical constructs may have significant relationships with improved mental health and overall well-being among African and African diaspora populations. However,…

The Mental Health of Black Youth Affected by Community Violence: Family and School Context as Pathways to Resilience
Black youth who experience community violence occupy multiple environments with varying levels of influence on how they display resiliency to prevent adverse mental health outcomes. Considering the recent rise of mental health concerns (i.e., increase in suicidal outcomes) among Black youth, along with the abundance of research illustrating the detrimental impact of community violence, more research is needed to examine how different environmenta…
Affective Orientation and School Persistence Among African American Youth: Implications for Afrocentric Youth Research and Practice
African-Centered Social Work in the 21st Century: A Content Analysis
Endorsement of African-centered theory and practice are widespread within Black communities across the United States. The usage of African-centered frameworks is also common among many Black social workers. However, past research suggests that African-centered theory and subsequent models of practice are marginalized within social work literature and curricula. Since advocacy began for the inclusion of African-centered approaches to practice duri…
Exploring the Impact of Skin Tone Perception on Race-Related Outcomes and Familial Functioning Among African American Youth: Implications for African-Centered Interventions
Racism and its ramifications are salient societal-level factors that detrimentally affect African American youth and families. Few studies have investigated how African American youth experience discrimination within families and society and colorism’s impact on racial identity, despite extensive racial discrimination research. We assessed whether the perceptions of African American youth of their skin tone affected their racial identity, familia…

Gender differences among Black adolescents in foster care: The relationship between relational permanence and psychological well-being
Black adolescents in the foster care system are at risk for a wide variety of negative outcomes. However, little is known about the role of multilevel promotive factors, particularly relational permanence, in promoting resilience in regards to race and gender for Black adolescents in foster care. This longitudinal study examines whether gender impacts the association between multilevel promotive factors and psychological well-being among Black ad…
Hardiness Scripts: High‐achieving African American Boys in a Chicago Charter School Navigating Community Violence and School
Youth exposure to violence, criminal activities and deviant peer affiliation may impact overall development and the transition into adulthood. Low income African American youth are disproportionately exposed to chronic stressors, but little is known about how they conceptualize challenges and success once they enter adulthood. We examine how low incomes African Americans reflect on exposure to chronic stressors during adolescence that impact thei…
The factor structure of horse personality
Two hundred and ten owners or carers completed a specially modified version of the NEO-Personality Inventory-Five Factor Inventory (NEO-PI-FFI, a well established personality questionnaire for humans) for their chosen horse. Three and five-factor Principal Components Analysis (PCA) solutions are reported and compared with published studies on the factor structure of human personality. Participants were asked how confident they were in using each …

A Developmental Study of Attention
This is a study of the development of attention in young children. A continuous response, 40-minute auditory vigilance task, was administered to 612 children between the ages of 7 to 13. Performance improved with age, with greatest improvement between the ages of 8 and 9. Girls were significantly better than boys at ages 7, 8 and 12. There were no correlations (within sub-samples) between vigilance performance and intelligence (Raven's Progressiv…
Extraversion, Neuroticism and Performance in a Psychology Examination
The EPI (form A) was administered to 455 students taking the human development examination at the University of Exeter over a period of five years. Correlations between academic performance and E and N were computed both for year groups as a whole and for special groups. No stable pattern of correlations emerged, thus casting doubt on the contention that the mildly neurotic introvert succeeds best at university. There was no evidence, either, of …

EEG correlates of hemisphere differences during a rapid calculation task
Twenty male subjects performed a continuous task involving response to digit sets. The subject was required to respond to sets containing only odd numbers, and whose sum was greater than or equal to 20. Abundance of both left and right hemisphere EEG was inversely related to the number of odd digits in a set, showing accumulation of cortical arousal in response to cue value. This effect was stronger for the left hemisphere in some of the frequenc…
