The Impacts of Multiracial Socialization and School Racial Composition on Multiracial Pride Among Biracial Adolescents
Multiracial adolescents navigate unique experiences within their schools and families that affect their ethnic-racial identity (ERI) development, such as the positive feelings they have toward being Multiracial (i.e., Multiracial pride). Despite the prevalent and growing number of Multiracial youth in the U.S., less attention has been given to their specific Multiracial identity development. The current study aimed to address gaps by examining wh…
Types of ethnic–racial identity belongingness predicting mental health and suicide ideation: Exploring racial and gender differences among Latine‐White and Black‐White Multiracial adolescents

Skin Tone and Academic Readiness Among Young Mexican-Origin Children: Testing the Moderating Role of Ethnic-Racial Identity Attitudes and Centrality
Skin tone-based social stratification is an enduring part of the U.S. racial landscape. Despite literature finding that skin tone informs educational outcomes among adults, few studies have examined these processes in early childhood. The current study tested whether skin tone predicted Mexican-origin 5-year-old children's academic readiness (i.e., applied problems and letter-word identification) and whether relations were modified by ethnic-raci…
Racial discrimination and adverse childhood experiences predicting depressive symptoms and developmental assets: Testing cultural socialization and preparation for bias as moderators among Black adole…
The current study examined whether adverse childhood experiences and racial discrimination predicted adolescents' internal developmental assets, external developmental assets, and depressive symptoms. We also tested whether these relations were buffered by aspects of caregivers' reports of ethnic-racial socialization efforts (i.e., cultural socialization and preparation for bias). Participants were Black adolescents 12 to 17 years of age (Mage = …

Growth Mindset Predicts Cognitive Gains in an Older Adult Multi-Skill Learning Intervention
Growth mindset (belief in the malleability of intelligence) is a unique predictor of young learners’ increased motivation and learning, and may have broader implications for cognitive functioning. Its role in learning in older adulthood is unclear. As part of a larger longitudinal study, we examined growth mindset and cognitive functioning in older adults engaged in a 3-month multi-skill learning intervention that included growth mindset discussi…
Family Relationships and Academic Performance Mediated by Belongingness: Examining Sex Differences among Cuban Students
The current study focused on processes underlying Cuban students’ academic performance. Using path analyses, the model examined the relations between family relationships and academic performance mediated by belongingness and moderated by sex differences among Cuban medical students (N = 613; M age = 21.39, SD = 2.05). Findings indicated that improved family relationships significantly predicted increased belongingness to the field of medicine fo…
An interdisciplinary framework examining culture and adaptation in migrant children and adolescents
With increasing rates of globalization, understanding the cultural factors that promote positive adaptation in migrant children and adolescents is vital. In prior research, acculturation and enculturation frameworks often rely on unidimensional or bidimensional conceptions of culture to study the effects of migration on child and adolescent development. However, the contemporary strategies that migrant children and adolescents utilize to navigate…
Intergenerational transmission of cultural socialization and effects on young children’s developmental competencies among Mexican-origin families
The current 3-generation ( N = 204 families), 3-year longitudinal study examined the intergenerational transmission of cultural socialization among Mexican-origin young mothers and their own mothers (i.e., children's grandmothers) and, in turn, whether young mothers' cultural socialization informed their children's developmental competencies (i.e., interactive play with peers, receptive language, and internalizing and externalizing problem behavi…
Adolescents’ Perceptions of the Economy: Its Association with Academic Engagement and the Role of School-Based and Parental Relationships
Processes underlying Mexican-origin adolescent mothers’ BMI
Among adolescent mothers who receive low levels of family and friend support, engagement in risky behaviors may function as a mechanism through which contextual stressors are linked to adolescent mothers' BMI. Findings have implications for prevention efforts aimed at attenuating unhealthy weight status among Mexican-origin adolescent mothers by reducing engagement in risky behaviors and bolstering family and friend support. (PsycINFO Database Re…
