U.S. Black parents’ hopes for representation in their children’s entertainment media
The present study expands growing literature about U.S. Black parents’ use of media for ethnic-racial socialization by operationalizing, and exploring predictors of, the specific kinds of racial children’s media representation that they considered important during a critical U.S. racial justice inflection point. Specifically, the current paper involves a secondary analysis of U.S. Black parents’ ratings of the frequency they wanted their child (a…
Media as a Locus for Family Ethnic-Racial Socialization
To examine the role of media in family discussions of race and ethnicity, we surveyed a U.S. sample of 834 Asian/Asian American, Black, Hispanic, Indigenous/Native American, and White 10- to 17-year-olds. Based on social relational theory, we conceived of media as a resource and locus for mutual influence, whereby parents and youth may mediate each other’s exposure to ethnic-racial depictions. Consistent with conceptions of race/ethnicity as vert…
Towards building expertly inclusive methodology
Across much of the research published in Journal of Children and Media (JOCAM) during its first 18 years, especially in the U.S. context, when research considers ethnic-racial identity at all, yout
Using media to navigate identity? U.S. Black parents’ encouragement and selection of content for their children
In an online experiment, 498 U.S. Black parents (child aged 3–5, 9–11, 15–17) were randomized to imagine their child had “an okay day” or experienced peer racism. They watched four age-appropriate video trailers that varied in affective tone (positive vs. mixed) and theme (race-related vs. not), rated their likelihood of encouraging their child to watch each and selected one. Regardless of condition and child age, encouragement was higher for rac…

Children’s perceptions of race and ethnicity in media
In 1998, Children Now surveyed 1,200 U.S. 10- to 17-year-olds about TV racial depictions, finding white children reported the most visibility. As a 25-year update, we surveyed 834 U.S. 10- to 17-year-olds: Asian/Asian American (n = 177), Black (n = 206), Hispanic (n = 150), Indigenous/Native American (n = 86), and white (n = 215). More youth now say it’s important to see their race in media, but fewer report seeing their group, with Hispanic and …
