Small Group Instruction Can Improve Adolescent Mental Health and Peer Relations
Internalizing symptoms in adolescents (e.g., anxiety, loneliness, depression) increased following the COVID‐19 pandemic, and can have detrimental impacts on engagement, learning, and overall school success. Cooperative Learning (CL), a small‐group instructional approach that creates intergroup collaboration among students, has an extensive track record of improving peer relations and school belonging, which may reduce social stress and protect ag…
Short‐ and long‐term associations between recent stressful life events and adjustment among adolescents
This study explores the influence of experiencing one, two or more stressful life events (SLE) in the past year in associations with adolescent sleep and depression symptomatology in the short and long term in the context of coping. Participants were 2323 Hispanic (44.1%), non-Hispanic Black (30.5%), non-Hispanic White (8.6%), and non-Hispanic Asian (16.7%) eighth graders (51.1% female) from 24 public middle schools in southeast Texas in 2019. Mu…
Modeling longitudinal change patterns of self-regulation from early to middle childhood
Patterns of change in self-regulation from the ages of 2.5 to 12 years were modeled using repeated measures of self-regulation for a sample of 399 African American ( n = 180, 45%) and Latinx ( n = 219, 55%) children from families experiencing low income. Measures included both direct assessment and parent report. Results confirmed four components of self-regulation: working memory, inhibitory control, complex response inhibition, and set shifting…
Racial Discrimination and Mexican-Heritage Adolescents’ Ethnic-Racial Identities
The current study investigated the combined influence of racial discrimination experiences and school Latine concentration on 7th-to-10th-grade changes in ethnic-racial identity (ERI; affirmation, exploration, resolution) for a community-recruited, southwestern sample of United States (U.S.) Mexican-heritage adolescents. Whether school Latine concentration moderated associations between racial discrimination and ERI was also assessed. Youth ( N =…
“At the end of the day, someone done lost their child”
How Black Americans in the United States (U.S.) make sense of a sociopolitical climate marked by racist imagery, tensions, and police violence is important to understand given the numerously documented detrimental effects of racism‐related stress on the well‐being of Black parents and children. Informed by Racism‐Related Stress Theory, the current study employed a convergent parallel mixed methods design to better understand the ways racism‐relat…
Acculturation stress magnifies child depression effect of stressful life events for Latinx youth 3 years later
Adding to the literature on SLEs within Latinx families, these results indicate that acculturation and socio-political climate stressors need be considered in discussions of the effects of life stress on Latinx youth and their families
The influence of family‐based social assistance programs and parenting on child development
Nearly three decades since the passage of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996, federal cash assistance to families in poverty in the United States has entered political discourse once more with the Biden Administration's introduction of the American Families Plan. At the heart of this discussion are theories of change that derive from the family and developmental sciences. As a result, scientists in these f…
Patterns of Observed Dyadic Ethnic-Racial Socialization among Black and Latinx Families in Response to a Hypothetical Experience of Discrimination at School
Quantitative criticalism
Historically, research has been used by systems of authority to marginalize and oppress minoritized populations. Family scientists have recently begun the work of disentangling themselves from these oppressive legacies (e. g., White supremacist, sexist, heterosexist, cisgenderist, etc.). As such, the field is at a vital crux in which there is a need to challenge prevailing quantitative methodological assumptions and practices in order to address …
Preparing Black and Latinx children for police encounters
We hypothesized that the goodness-of-fit between profiles of observed, caregiver-provided ethnic-racial socialization (ERS), and child self-regulation (i.e., inhibitory control) would differentially associate with child behavioral outcomes. Conversations between 80 caregivers (45% Latinx; 55% Black) and their children (M age = 11.09; 46% female) were rated for ERS. Measures included an inhibitory control composite (ages 2.5-3.5) and the Child Beh…
Responding to racism at school
Guided by the Theory of Racial Socialization in Action (TRSA; Smith-Bynum in press), this study examined observed caregiver-provided ethnic-racial socialization in response to a school-based discriminatory dilemma. Forty-five Black and 36 Latinx caregivers (88% mothers) with low-income and their children (Mage = 11.09, SD = 0.29; 46.3% female) participated in Dallas, Texas from 2018 to 2019. Dyads responded to a hypothetical scenario in which a s…
Holding both truths
Ethnic‐racial socialization is at the core of ethnic minority families’ adaptive response to a racialized social climate. Protective links between ethnic‐racial socialization and children's adjustment are well documented in the adolescent years; however, very few studies have considered the ethnic‐racial socialization of young children altogether and fewer still have examined the links to adjustment using longitudinal designs. Leveraging unique, …
Racism and preparation for bias within African American families
Objectives: Exposure to racism experienced by caregivers poses a threat to child developmental outcomes. The current study examines the effects of caregiver-experienced racism on the development of internalizing behaviors for African American children during a sensitive period in their development of racial awareness. Two aspects of caregiver-provided ethnic racial socialization (ERS), cultural socialization and preparation for bias, were assesse…
