Longitudinal associations between math self‐concept and math Black–White stereotypes among Black adolescents
In the United States, Black youth are negatively stereotyped in math ability and are comparatively behind their White and Asian peers on many indicators of math success. Because perceptions of social groups are linked to self-perceptions, Black youths' endorsement of Black-White math stereotypes might be bidirectionally related to their perceptions of their own math abilities. Drawing from a sample of 563 Black youth (250 boys; 313 girls), we use…
Why wouldn’t I be able to do it?”: The Role of STEM Socialization in Nurturing Black Girls’ STEM Interest and Engagement
Research has underscored stark disparities in STEM interest, degree attainment, and employment among Black girls and women, highlighting systemic barriers that resulted in a long history of exclusion. However, few studies have centered the supportive mechanisms that aid in Black girls’ resistance and reclamation of STEM spaces. The current study addresses this gap by exploring how Black caregivers incorporate STEM socialization and nurture Black …

Gendered Racial Stereotype Endorsement: A Theoretical Review and Implications for Black Girls’ STEM Identity
Recent indicators continue to highlight the underrepresentation of Black girls and women in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), from advanced course enrollment and degree attainment to employment. In this paper, we consider the role of stereotypes as an underlying motivational mechanism that shapes Black girls’ STEM identity and persistence. This theoretical review seeks to provide a conceptual foundation for research on gen…
Creating Black Girl Space in St. Louis: Revisiting and Reclaiming Black Girl Voice in the Classroom
Black girls face the challenge of developing a healthy sense of self because of racism and sexism in school settings. Building on extant literature, this study examines a sample of socioeconomically diverse Black girls' in predominately White, Black, and racially and ethnically diverse school settings. Data collection included focus groups with Black girls (N = 30, M age = 12.64 years). Inductive analytic techniques were used to identify themes b…
Multidimensional social support and parenting among Black fathers: A profile‐oriented approach
Though studies have examined the role of social support in the lives of Black men, less is known about the role and function of multi‐domain social support as they navigate fatherhood. This investigation utilizes a profile‐oriented approach to identify patterns of general and parenting‐specific social support (i.e., family; peers; community) among a sample of 759 Black American fathers. Additionally, this study examines how identified support pro…
Intersectional Activism Among Black Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer or Questioning Young Adults: The Roles of Intragroup Marginalization, Identity, and Community
Research around the importance of activism for positive development has been primarily focused on a single identity, missing the ways in which race and sexual orientation intersect to influence the communities young adults advocate for. The current study assesses how Black lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer or questioning (LGBTQ) young adults’ experiences of discrimination, identity, and community predict involvement in intersectional…

One hundred and twenty-six adolescents (M = 11.88 years; SD = 1.02) residing in the Southeastern United States comprised the study sample. Results indicated that school discrimination was associated with greater depressive symptoms, lower academic persistence, and l…

The development of academic and nonacademic race stereotypes in African American adolescents
The purpose of this longitudinal study was to examine developmental change and gender differences in the Black-White race stereotype endorsement of African American adolescents. In Grades 7, 10, and 12, African American students ( N = 563; 313 girls) reported their perceptions of the competence of Blacks and Whites in academic, music, and sports domains. Multilevel growth modeling (MLM) was used to assess change from Grade 7 to Grade 12. Separate…
African American Fathers’ Race-Related Discussions with Their Children: Associations with Racial Identity Beliefs and Sociodemographic Factors
Intergenerational Factors, Fatherhood Beliefs, and African American Fathers' Involvement: Building the Case for a Mediated Pathway
Intergenerational factors have been suggested as a critical interactional context shaping African American fathers' beliefs and parenting practices. However, relatively little attention has been given to the identification of underlying processes guiding the association between intergenerational factors and African American fathers' involvement with their children. The current investigation builds the case for fathering role ideologies and sense …
