Covid‐19 Stress and Coping Among Black Youth: The Role of Socio‐Emotional Community Mentor Support
This study examined associations between COVID‐19 stress and the utilization of engaged and disengaged coping responses among diverse Black youth during the COVID‐19 pandemic. In addition, the role of mentor social‐emotional support was tested as a moderator of these associations. Participants were 1232 youth ages 11 to 18 year old from the United States who identified as Black/African American. Analyses indicated that COVID‐19 stress was positiv…
Developing practices for hospital-based violence intervention programs to address anti-Black racism and historical trauma
To promote health equity among Black youth exposed to community violence, it is critical that psychologists partner with other health care professionals and communities with lived experience to explicitly address anti-Black racism and historical trauma as fundamental contributors to violence-related health inequities. This article describes our community-based participatory research (CBPR) approach to develop practices for hospital-based violence…

Addressing the inappropriate use of force by police in the United States and beyond: A behavioral and social science perspective
Recent high‐profile incidents involving the deadly application of force in the United States sparked worldwide protests and renewed scrutiny of police practices as well as scrutiny of relations between police officers and minoritized communities. In this report, we consider the inappropriate use of force by police from the perspective of behavioral and social science inquiry related to aggression, violence, and intergroup relations. We examine th…
Promoting social justice for African-American boys and young men through research and intervention: A challenge for developmental science
A social justice analysis of the circumstances of African-American boys and young men (AAB) reveals a pervasive pattern of negative stereotypes, disparate treatment, and resource deprivation that augur poorly for their development. Developmental science has yielded many insights about the deleterious sequelae of racism and economic disadvantage, but much less is known about AAB coping and adaptation. Adaptive Calibration and Positive Youth Develo…
Examining the Effects of Family and Community Violence on African American Adolescents: The Roles of Violence Type and Relationship Proximity to Violence
The current study examined the unique and interactive effects of family and community violence across types of violence (weapon, physical, and death) and relationship proximity (self, family/friend, and strangers) in African American adolescents (mean age = 12.63, SD = 0.99, 54% female). Items from the community violence and family violence measures were categorized into a three-factor model of cross-contextual violence exposure that characterize…
What's Race Got to Do With It? Racial Socialization's Contribution to Black Adolescent Coping
While youth generally experience stressors from developmental milestones, Black youth also face racialized stressors. Racial socialization has been found to help Black youth cope with racialized stressors, but research has yet to show its contribution to coping beyond general socialization practices. This study examines how racial socialization contributes beyond that of general coping socialization to coping behaviors. Fifty-eight third-eighth-g…
A latent profile analysis of exposure to community violence and peer delinquency in African American adolescents
Understanding development of African American boys and young men: Moving from risks to positive youth development
African American boys and young men in the United States face challenges unique to being a male and an ethnic minority in our society. Despite the marginalization of African American boys and young men, this article argues that African American boys and young men, like other individuals, are in large proportion able to overcome adversity and utilize positive youth development assets and resources, and that focusing on capabilities and strengths i…
Future Orientation as a Protective Factor for African American Adolescents Exposed to Community Violence
For African American youth disproportionately exposed to community violence and the associated risk of externalizing behaviors, developmental assets that reduce the risk for externalizing behaviors and enhance adaptive coping should be explored. In a sample of 572 African American adolescents ( Mage = 15.85; SD = 1.42), the current study explored whether future orientation or gender buffered the impact of community violence exposure on externaliz…
Examining the effects of emotional and cognitive desensitization to community violence exposure in male adolescents of color
The current study examined pathways in a model of desensitization, the Pathologic Adaptation Model, in adolescent males of color. Specifically, the current study examined depressive symptoms and deviant beliefs as mediators of the association between community violence exposure and subsequent violent behavior. The current study included 250 African-American (67%) and Latino (33%) male adolescents (T1 mean age = 15.32) from the Chicago Youth Devel…

Community‐level Victimization and Aggressive Behavior in African American Male Adolescents: A Profile Analysis
Community victimization is associated with elevated rates of aggression in African American male adolescents; however, existing research provides little information about the within‐group variability for victimization and aggression. Through cluster analysis, the current study identified three distinct profiles of community victimization and aggressive behavior in 223 African American male adolescents (mean age = 15.15, standard deviation = 1.05)…
Neighborhood Poverty and Adolescent Development
This article provides a comprehensive review of studies conducted over the past decade on the effects of neighborhood and poverty on adolescent normative and nonnormative development. Our review includes a summary of studies examining the associations between neighborhood poverty and adolescent identity development followed by a review of studies addressing both direct and indirect linking among neighborhood poverty to academic achievement as wel…
The Effects of Changes in Racial Identity and Self-Esteem on Changes in African American Adolescents’ Mental Health
This study assessed the unique effects of racial identity and self-esteem on 259 African American adolescents' depressive and anxiety symptoms as they transitioned from the 7th to 8th grades (ages 12-14). Racial identity and self-esteem were strongly correlated with each other for males but not for females. For both males and females, an increase in racial identity over the 1 year was associated with a decrease in the prevalence of depressive sym…
African American inner-city youth exposed to violence: Coping skills as a moderator for anxiety
The current study examined types of coping as either protective or vulnerability factors for youth exposed to community violence in a sample of 240 inner-city, African American pre- and early adolescents across sixth and seventh grade. Coping was conceptualized within a contextually relevant framework. It was predicted that avoidant coping would interact with exposure to violence to predict reductions in anxiety, cross-sectionally and longitudina…
