Exploring Black and Latinx Adolescents’ Beliefs About Achievement, Resistance, and Activism
This mixed methods study investigates the beliefs about achievement, resistance, and activism of Black and Latinx adolescents attending six charter high schools in five U.S. cities.

Quantitative analyses revealed that youths’ belief that their academic achievement represent…

A series of latent growth models were fit to consider participating adolescents' (n = 643) developing awareness of interpersonal and institutional forms of racism over five waves of surveys. Additionally, four waves of interviews with a subset of adolescents (n = 70) were analyzed through a multistep process co…
Touch attitudes in cross‐sex friendships
Results from this survey indicated that within heterosexual cross‐sex friendships, perceptions of friendship intimacy for females were more strongly tied to their positive attitudes toward: enacting and receiving more touch, enacting and receiving more safe haven (e.g., caretaking) touch, and perceiving touch as more sexually arousing, when compared to males. Females were more motivated not to touch their cross‐sex friends in public regardless of…
