Powerless, But Not Helpless: Exploring critical consciousness among adolescents in Germany
Critical consciousness (CC) is a robust framework to understand how adolescents navigate inequitable societies and engage in issues meaningful to them. This qualitative study explores how CC unfolds among adolescents in Germany, a relatively understudied context. Participants were 16 adolescents ( M age = 16.06 years, SD = 1.23, range = 14-18) from large and medium sized cities. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and diaries and anal…
Evaluating a School-Based Intervention on Adolescents’ Ethnic-racial Identity in Sweden
Finding developmentally appropriate ways to support youth in understanding their own ethnic-racial identity is needed, particularly in contexts like Sweden where such support is not the norm. This preregistered longitudinal study examined whether an 8-week school-based intervention, the Identity Project, impacted youth ethnic-racial identity exploration (participation and search), resolution, private regard, and centrality. Participants were 509 …
Promoting Adolescents’ Heritage Cultural Identity Development: Exploring the Role of Autonomy and Relatedness Satisfaction in School-Based Interventions
Given the significance of heritage cultural identity for optimal adolescent development, it is imperative to investigate factors influencing the efficacy of interventions aimed at promoting heritage cultural identity. Using latent profile cluster analysis and multinomial logistic regressions, this longitudinal study examined how autonomy and relatedness need satisfaction at school (1) related to heritage cultural identity development trajectories…
Ethnic-Racial Identity and Attitude Change: Assessments of Outgroup and Diversity Attitudes among Adolescents in Sweden
Outgroup and diversity attitudes are important components of intercultural understanding and well-being. Despite the potential of ethnic-racial identity development as a means to foster positive outgroup and diversity attitudes, little is known about its effectiveness in rapidly diversifying contexts such as Sweden. This pre-registered study filled this gap by examining if adolescents taking part in an intervention focused on ethnic-racial identi…
Promoting positive development among refugee adolescents
Of the estimated 35.3 million refugees around the world (UNHCR, Figures at a Glance , 2022), approximately 50% are children under the age of 18. Refugee adolescents represent a unique group as they navigate developmental tasks in an unstable and often threatening environment or in resettlement contexts in which they often face marginalization. In addition to physiological, social, and psychological changes that mark adolescence, refugee youth oft…
Adolescents’ global competence: A latent profile analysis and exploration of student-, parent-, and school-related predictors of profile membership
Reaping the benefits of cultural diversity: Classroom cultural diversity climate and students’ intercultural competence
Culturally diverse schools may constitute natural arenas for training crucial intercultural skills. We hypothesized that a classroom cultural diversity climate fostering contact and cooperation and multiculturalism, but not a climate fostering color‐evasion, would be positively related to adolescents’ intercultural competence. Adolescents in North Rhine‐Westphalia ( N = 631, M age = 13.69 years, 49% of immigrant background) and Berlin ( N = 1,335…
A multimodal measure of cultural intelligence for adolescents growing up in culturally diverse societies
We don’t do that in Germany!” A critical race theory examination of Turkish heritage young adults’ school experiences
Turkish heritage students are underrepresented at university-track secondary schools in Germany, yet the institutional discrimination contributing to this ongoing disparity often remains unquestioned, situated within inequitable norms of belonging. Drawing on critical race theory and a risk and resilience framework, the current study investigated the interplay between institutional and interpersonal discrimination in relation to exclusionary norm…
Challenging beliefs about cultural diversity in education: A synthesis and critical review of trainings with pre-service teachers
Toward a New Understanding of Ethnic‐Racial Settings for Ethnic‐Racial Identity Development
The purpose of this conceptual article is to advance theory and research on one critical aspect of the context of ethnic–racial identity ( ERI ) development: ethnic–racial settings, or the objective and subjective nature of group representation within an individual's context. We present a new conceptual framework that consists of four dimensions: (1) perspective (that settings can be understood in both objective and subjective terms); (2) differe…
Time-varying associations of parent–adolescent cultural conflict and youth adjustment among Chinese American families
The purpose of this study was to examine time-varying associations of parent-adolescent cultural conflict with depressive symptoms and grade point average (GPA) among Chinese Americans from ages 11-22. We pooled two independently collected longitudinal data sets (N = 760 at Wave 1) and used time-varying effect modeling (TVEM) to show that the frequency of parent-adolescent conflict increased during early adolescence (12 years), peaked at mid adol…
Immigrant Adolescents: Opportunities and Challenges
Immigration is a critical issue for adolescent development as migration around the world continues at an increased pace. This essay provides insights into the opportunities and challenges in this area of research, but also spotlights important work that can serve as the foundation for future investigations. Our focus is on adolescent immigrants, as a substantial share of international migrants is under the age of 20. We first address specific iss…
Hmong American Young Adults' Reflections on Their Immigrant Parents
To better understand emerging adults' perceptions of family interactions and value transmission to the next generation, we examined Hmong American emerging adults' reflections on their parents' parenting. Participants discussed what parenting practices they would do differently and others they hoped to emulate with their future adolescent children. Thirty Hmong American emerging adults (18-25 years; M = 21.2 years; 50% female) participated in int…
Pathways among Asian Americans’ family ethnic socialization, ethnic identity, and psychological well-being: A multigroup mediation model
The present study examined the mediating role of ethnic identity in the relation between family ethnic socialization and psychological well-being among Asian American college students. In addition, it explored the moderating role of gender in the pathways among 3 variables. Participants were 970 Asian American college students who were part of the Multi-Site University Study of Identity and Culture (MUSIC). Results from a multigroup structural eq…
Discrimination and Adjustment Among Chinese American Adolescents: Family Conflict and Family Cohesion as Vulnerability and Protective Factors
Objectives. We examined racial/ethnic discrimination experiences of Chinese American adolescents to determine how discrimination is linked to poor adjustment (i.e., loneliness, anxiety, and somatization) and how the context of the family can buffer or exacerbate these links. Methods. We collected survey data from 181 Chinese American adolescents and their parents in Northern California. We conducted hierarchical regression analyses to examine mai…
Misconduct Among Chinese American Adolescents: The Role of Acculturation, Family Obligation, and Autonomy Expectations
This study examined the relation between acculturation and misconduct among Chinese American adolescents. The sample included 309 adolescents (mean age = 14.7 years, SD = 0.71; 54% female), recruited from two high schools in an ethnically diverse, urban city on the West Coast. Findings showed that acculturation (i.e., generational status and U.S. and Chinese cultural involvements) did not predict misconduct. But specific cultural values (i.e., fa…
The Ethnic Identity, Other-Group Attitudes, and Psychosocial Functioning of Asian American Emerging Adults From Two Contexts
Drawing from two samples of Asian American emerging adults, one in an ethnicallyconcentrated context ( n = 108) and the other in an ethnically-dispersed, mainly White context ( n = 153), we examined (a) how ethnic identity and other-group attitudes were related to psychosocial functioning (i.e., depression, self-esteem, and connectedness to parents) and (b) how these relations were moderated by context. Results (direct effects) indicated that eth…
Changes in Psychological Distress among East German Adolescents Facing German Unification: The Role of Commitment to the Old System and of Self-Efficacy Beliefs
Abrupt social change, such as the breakdown of a political system of the former communist states, presents a major adaptive challenge to the individual. The authors analyzed whether commitment to the old political system and high self-efficacy beliefs measured before German unification would predict change in psychological distress in East German adolescents in the first 2 years after the fall of the Berlin Wall. Adolescents who were highly commi…
Family Transitions for Young Adult Women in the Context of a Changed Germany: Timing, Sequence, and Duration
The authors examined the patterning of marriage and childbearing for female German young adults by comparing data independently collected in 1991 and 1996. The sample consisted of 20- to 29-year-old women from former East and West Germany. Results suggest that the timing of marriage and childbearing, but not the sequencing and duration between these two transitions, was altered after unification, particularly for Eastern females. Furthermore, per…
