  • Children Understand More at that Age

    Open AccessYana A Kuchirko, Anna Bennet et al.ARTICLESocial Development2025References: 3

    Children are highly attuned to race early in life, yet parents often underestimate their capacity to process race‐related information, delaying discussions about race. Research suggests that parents’ perceptions of their children's readiness to learn about race influence the timing of these conversations; however, few studies have explored how such perceptions shape ethnic‐racial socialization across different ethnic/racial groups. In this mixed‐…

  • A 6‐year longitudinal exploration of diversity in ethnically/racially minoritized children's early peer circles

    Open AccessAnna Bennet, Yana A Kuchirko et al.ARTICLESocial Development2024References: 15

    Exposure to diverse peers can expand children's experiences and skillsets, and these positive effects linger beyond childhood. Yet, little is known about the ethnic/racial, gender, and age diversity in children's peer groups and how it may shift over time. Even less is known about these patterns among US nonwhite children. In the present study, we thus explored how diversity (with regard to ethnicity/race, gender, and age) in ethnically minoritiz…

  • Like Two Musketeers”

    Open AccessYana A Kuchirko, Anna Bennet et al.ARTICLESocial Development2022References: 15

    Parental ethnotheories shape socialization beliefs around childrearing more broadly, and children's friendships more specifically. While prior work has examined aspects of parental socialization of friendships among school‐aged children and adolescents, no studies have examined beliefs held around the function of friendships among ethnically diverse mothers of toddlers from low‐socioeconomic contexts. Toddlerhood marks a point in development when…

  • The influence of siblings on ethnically diverse children’s gender typing across early development

    Open AccessYana A Kuchirko, Anna Bennet et al.ARTICLEDevelopmental Psychology2021Cited by: 2

    Most U.S. children grow up with siblings. Theory and prior work suggest that older siblings are important sources of gender-related information and socialization. However, few studies have investigated the patterns of these associations longitudinally across early childhood. The present study examines the influence of sibling presence and gender composition on the trajectory of early gender-typed behavior and appearance in children from age 2 thr…

  • We're Supposed to Look Like Girls, But Act Like Boys”

    Open AccessLeoandra Onnie Rogers, Rui Yang et al.ARTICLEJournal of Research on Adolescence2019Cited by: 8References: 12

    In the ecological systems perspective, gender ideologies are part of the macrosystem that shapes human development. A growing literature indicates that youth accommodate and resist such ideologies, with adherence to masculinity norms being linked with negative adjustment. Most masculinity research focuses on boys' adherence to masculinity, but girls are also pressured to uphold masculinity norms. Using mixed modeling, we examined girls' adherence…
