Longitudinal Analysis of Academic Motivation: Examining the Antecedent Roles of Perceived Discrimination and Stereotype Threat Among African American STEM Majors
Structural and social-psychological factors, including race-related stressors such as discrimination and stereotype threat, contribute to the underrepresentation of African American college students in STEM by thwarting students’ motivation and serving as push-out factors. Academic burnout and low momentum-state inertia (LMSI) are two forms of motivation that may develop in response to perceived discrimination and stereotype threat. The present s…
Parenting correlates of changes in school engagement among racial/ethnic minority students
The present study examined the extent to which parent-adolescent relationship quality and parenting practices were associated with changes in school engagement among racial and ethnic minority adolescents. Participants (58% female) were 208 racial/ethnic minority students (63% African American, 19% Latinx, 18% Multiracial) in grades 6–8 from an urban middle school in the Midwestern United States. In the fall (Time 1) and subsequent spring (Time 2…

Covid-19 Pandemic-Related Financial Hardships and Adolescents’ Adjustment: A Longitudinal Family Stress Approach
Sibling disclosure and adolescents’ coping from before to during the Covid-19 pandemic: A longitudinal study
The extraordinary disruptions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic created a unique context to investigate the links between family communication and adolescent adjustment. Given that widespread stay-at-home orders increased time spent in the family setting, the present study examined reciprocal links between older and younger adolescent siblings' disclosure toward each other and concurrent and prospective links between those disclosures and the…
Adolescents' experiences of discrimination, disclosure of discrimination, and well-being
Discrimination because of one's stigmatized identities and personal characteristics can thwart healthy adolescent development. Little is known about the role of disclosure, including whether adolescents talk about their discrimination experiences with close relational partners (i.e., parents, siblings, friends) and whether disclosure mitigates the negative effects of discrimination. Addressing this gap, this study investigated links between adole…
Parental sexual communication self-efficacy with toddlers and young children: An active learning intervention
Parents are in a powerful position to teach sexual topics to their children, promoting positive sex attitudes and lifelong sexual health. However, parents may lack sexual knowledge and confidence to address such topics. This study, grounded in social learning theory, tested the effects of an active learning intervention to increase parental efficacy regarding sexual communication with children aged one- to five-years-old. Parents were randomly as…

Longitudinal Changes in Adolescents’ School Bonding During the Covid‐19 Pandemic: Individual, Parenting, and Family Correlates
The current study examined changes in adolescents' school bonding from before to during the COVID-19 pandemic and its individual, parenting, and family-level correlates. Participants were two adolescents (50% male; M age = 14 years) and one parent (85% female; M age = 45 years) from 682 families (N = 2046) from an ongoing longitudinal study. Adolescents reported on their school bonding, stress, and coping, while parents reported on their involvem…
Changes in family chaos and family relationships during the Covid-19 pandemic: Evidence from a longitudinal study
The purpose of this article was to explore how family chaos, parenting processes, parent-child relationship qualities, and sibling relationship qualities changed before versus the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic. Participants included one parent and two adolescent-aged children from 682 families (2,046 participants). Parents and youth participating in an ongoing longitudinal study in five Midwestern states in the United States completed an …
Stress and family relationships among college student parents: A mixed methods study
College student parents represent a unique population because they are typically low-income, accrue more debt than traditional students, and must balance the role of student and parent. Using a mixed methods design, this study examined the relation between college student parents' stress and distress in their relationships with their children and examined how parents managed their multiple roles. Parent participants ( n = 80; 54 mothers, 26 fathe…

If I Pay, I Have a Say!”: Parental Payment of College Education and its Association With Helicopter Parenting
Guided by developmental and sociological frameworks, the present study investigated two interrelated research questions, namely, (a) is helicopter parenting (HP) a unidimensional or multidimensional construct and (b) is parental payment of college education associated with freshmen’s reports of HP? Participants (58% female) included 190 first-semester freshmen (70% Caucasian) who completed a survey with items on parenting (proportion of parental …
Academic Growth Trajectories and Family Relationships Among African American Youth
This study explored trajectories of African American youths' academic functioning and assessed whether changes in parent-adolescent relationships were associated with changes in youths' academic functioning. The data were drawn from a three-year longitudinal study of gender socialization and development in two-parent African American families and included 197 families. Findings revealed gender differences in achievement trajectories and indicated…

The effects of socioeconomic status, race, and parenting on language development in early childhood
The authors examined the associations between socioeconomic status (SES), race, maternal sensitivity, and maternal negative-intrusive behaviors and language development in a sample selected to reduce the typical confound between race and SES (n = 146). Mother-child interactions were observed at 12 and 24 months (coded by randomly assigned African American and European American coders); language abilities were assessed at 18, 24, 30, and 36 months…
Sociocultural Factors and School Engagement Among African American Youth: The Roles of Racial Discrimination, Racial Socialization, and Ethnic Identity
This study investigated the links between racial discrimination and school engagement and the roles of racial socialization and ethnic identity as protective factors in those linkages in a sample of 148, 6 th through 12 th grade African American adolescents from working and middle class two-parent families. In home interviews youth described their ethnic identity, discrimination experiences at school, and school engagement (school bonding, school…
An Ecological Perspective on the Media and Youth Development
From an ecological perspective, daily activities are both a cause and a consequence of youth development. Research on youth activities directs attention to the processes through which daily activities may have an impact on youth, including (a) providing chances to learn and practice skills, (b) serving as a forum for identity development, (c) affording opportunities to build social ties, (d) connecting youth to social institutions, and (e) keepin…
A Longitudinal Examination of the Bidirectional Links Between Academic Achievement and Parent-Adolescent Conflict
We examined reciprocal associations between parent-adolescent conflict and academic achievement over a 2-year period. Participants were mothers, fathers, and adolescents from predominantly White, working and middle class families ( N = 168). After accounting for previous academic achievement, parent-adolescent conflict predicted relative declines in academic achievement 2 years later. After controlling for relationship quality at Time 1, lower ma…
Mothers' and Fathers' Racial Socialization in African American Families: Implications for Youth
Mothers' and fathers' cultural socialization and bias preparation with older (M=13.9 years) and younger (M=10.31 years) siblings were studied in 162 two-parent, African American families. Analyses examined whether parental warmth and offspring age and gender were linked to parental practices and whether parents' warmth, spouses' racial socialization, or youth age or gender moderated links between racial socialization and youth outcomes. Parental …
