The Impacts of Multiracial Socialization and School Racial Composition on Multiracial Pride Among Biracial Adolescents
Multiracial adolescents navigate unique experiences within their schools and families that affect their ethnic-racial identity (ERI) development, such as the positive feelings they have toward being Multiracial (i.e., Multiracial pride). Despite the prevalent and growing number of Multiracial youth in the U.S., less attention has been given to their specific Multiracial identity development. The current study aimed to address gaps by examining wh…
Types of ethnic–racial identity belongingness predicting mental health and suicide ideation: Exploring racial and gender differences among Latine‐White and Black‐White Multiracial adolescents
The current study examined whether three types of ethnic–racial identity (ERI) belongingness (i.e., minoritized identity belongingness, White identity belongingness, and Multiracial identity belongingness) were associated with anxiety symptoms, depressive symptoms, and suicide ideation among Multiracial adolescents. We also explored race‐gender group differences between Latina‐White females, Latino‐White males, Black‐White females, and Black‐Whit…
Adverse Childhood Experiences and Justice Involvement: A Strengths-Based Approach Examining the Protective Role of Developmental Assets Among Black Adolescents
The current study examined whether adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) were associated with justice involvement among Black adolescents, and whether internal developmental assets (i.e., positive values, social competencies, positive identity, and commitment to learning) and external developmental assets (i.e., support, empowerment, boundaries and expectations, and constructive use of time) moderated these relations. Gender differences were also …
I Internalized a Lot”: Identity-Based Risk Factors and Depression Symptoms in Biracial Girls and Young Women
Biracial Black-White girls and young women in the U.S. navigate a unique landscape of racial stress including experiences of racial identity invalidation (RII) that may expose them to additional risk factors such as racial identity challenges (RICs) and feelings of inauthenticity. Independent lines of research have linked RII, RICs, and inauthenticity with disparate mental health outcomes among Biracial adults. However, there is a dearth of resea…
Examining racial identity invalidation and well‐being among Biracial adolescents using the identity capital model
Biracial Black-White adolescents report more psychological distress than most monoracial youth, but less is known about the factors that precede or protect Biracial youth from such distress. This study examines how racial identity invalidation (RII; the denial of a Biracial person's racial identity/belonging) relates to depressive symptoms and satisfaction with life (SWL) among 330 Biracial Black-White adolescents in the United States (67% boys; …
Post-Traumatic Stress Across Color Lines: A History of Anti-Black Exclusion & PTSD
Biracial, Black, and proud: Can racial pride protect Biracial–Black young people from identity invalidation and depressive symptoms
3.71). From an intersectional and strengths-based lens, we also explore if (a) Biracial and Black pride individually or collectively moderate the relationship between RII and depressive symptoms and (b) if any of these associations differ by gender. The analyses included two hierarchical linear regressions (one for girls and one for boys) that were conducted using Model 3 of the PROCESS Macro in SPSS. The results indicated that RII was associated…
The Multiracial‐Black Socialization Model: Conceptualizing racial socialization in Multiracial‐Black families
Scholars have spent the last four decades expanding the theoretical understanding of parental racial socialization—or parent–child communication about race. What is largely absent from existing conceptualizations, however, is a consideration for how the practice manifests in Multiracial families. The interracial structure of Multiracial families complicates racial socialization in ways that are not being captured in empirical research due to the …
Racially Humble Parenting: Exploring the Link Between Parental Racial Humility and Parent–Child Closeness in Multiracial Black-White Families
Exploring the association between parental ethnic–racial socialization and parental closeness on Black–White biracial adolescents’ choice of racial identification toward blackness
Maternal and paternal ERS messages are differentially associated with biracial adolescents' choice of racial identification toward Blackness. interestingly, ERS messages from White parents seem to significantly influence racial identification compared to Black parents. Parental closeness further elucidates these findings. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved)
Concordant and Discordant Patterns of Parental Racial Socialization among Biracial Black-White Adolescents: Correlates and Consequences
What does it mean to be Black and White? A meta‐ethnographic review of racial socialization in Multiracial families
Racial socialization—parent–child communication about race—may promote cohesion and relational satisfaction in Multiracial Black–White families, where parents and children have unique racial experiences. However, little is known about how racial socialization is actually practiced in Multiracial families. The current paper addresses this gap by synthesizing the existing qualitative literature on racial socialization in Multiracial Black–White fam…
Cultural Racism and Depression in Black Adolescents: Examining Racial Socialization and Racial Identity as Moderators
The current study explored parental racial socialization and racial regard as moderators of the effects of cultural racism on depression symptoms among Black adolescents (N = 604, M age = 15.44). When adolescents reported lower private regard and lower cultural pride messages or higher public regard and lower alertness to discrimination messages, the negative effects of cultural racism on depression symptoms were exacerbated. When adolescents rep…
Race-related stress, racial identity, and activism among young Black men: A person-centered approach
The current study examines how race-related stress, physiological and psychological anticipation of racism, relates to low-risk and high-risk activism orientations for Black adolescent boys and emerging adult men (N = 286). We investigate whether patterns of racial identity and age moderate those relationships. We found that physiological and psychological anticipation of racism were related to low-risk Black community activism orientation, and t…
