  • Shifting Racial Expressions among Black Multiracial College Students: How Social Anxiety and Multiracial Marginalization Shape Identity Presentation

    Open Access•Emma Keller, Farzana Saleem Adjah et al.•ARTICLE•Race and Social Problems•2026

  • Preparation for bias, racial‐ethnic socialization competency, and Latinx adolescent mental health

    Open Access•Casandra J Gomez Alvarado, Lisa Kiang et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Research on Adolescence•2026

    Although parental preparation for bias messages theoretically protect adolescents from the damaging impact of discrimination, they have been linked to mental health challenges in Latinx adolescents. Parental racial‐ethnic socialization (RES) competency has been proposed to potentially explain this discrepancy. The present study examined whether RES competency (confidence, skill, stress) moderated the relation between parental preparation for bias…

  • The Impacts of Multiracial Socialization and School Racial Composition on Multiracial Pride Among Biracial Adolescents

    Open Access•Raven J Bacchas, Chelsea L Derlan et al.•ARTICLE•Identity•2026

    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

    Open Access•Chelsea L Derlan, N Keita Christophe et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Research on Adolescence•2026

    The current study examined whether three types of ethnic–racial identity (ERI) belongingness (i.e., minoritized identity belongingness, White identity belongingness, and Multiracial identity belongingness) were associated with anxiety symptoms, depressive symptoms, and suicide ideation among Multiracial adolescents. We also explored race‐gender group differences between Latina‐White females, Latino‐White males, Black‐White females, and Black‐Whit…

  • The association between parental monitoring and adolescent cognitive flexibility across neighborhood contexts

    Zhixin Zhou, Connie H Yun et al.•ARTICLE•Developmental Psychology•2026

    115). The strongest association between parental monitoring and adolescent CF was in neighborhoods characterized by higher perceived cohesion. These findings suggest that benevolent neighborhood contexts may amplify the beneficial effects of parental monitoring on adolescent CF. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2026 APA, all rights reserved)

    Open Access•Chelsea L Derlan, N Keita Christophe et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Racial and Ethnic…•2026•References: 14

    Emerging adults of color face significant sleep disparities, yet we know less about underlying mechanisms. The goal of the current study was to investigate whether racial discrimination was associated with hours of sleep and sleep dissatisfaction. Further, we tested whether social media and television/digital media use moderated these associations. Participants included 464 emerging adult students of color (i.e., students who identified as Black/…

  • Validation of the Multiracial Youth Socialization Brief ( MY ‐Soc‐B) Scale with adolescents

    Open Access•Annabelle L Atkin, Nathan Lieng et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Research on Adolescence•2026•References: 8

    The present study validates a brief version of the Multiracial Youth Socialization Scale, the MY-Soc-B, which assesses Multiracial youths' experiences of receiving messages from their caregivers about race and culture. Using a sample of 318 diverse Multiracial American adolescents (M age = 16.01; SD = 1.30), the original 62 items were reduced to 24 items via an examination of confirmatory factor analyses and conceptual clarity and fit of item con…

  • Short‐Term Longitudinal Associations Between Critical Consciousness and Well‐Being in Black and Latine Adults in Canada

    Open Access•Loredana Donciu, Ariane Desmarais et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Community Psychology•2026•References: 45

    Critical consciousness (CC) is a key developmental process that enables individuals, particularly people of color and marginalized communities systematically disadvantaged to examine their experiences and social inequalities ( critical reflection ), cultivate empowerment to take action ( critical motivation ) and partake in collective action against these injustices ( critical action) . However, the mental health implications CC development, part…

  • Individual and Familial Risk and Promotive Factors for Substance Use Among Multiracial American Young Adults

    Open Access•Annabelle L Atkin, Andrew M Subica et al.•ARTICLE•Substance Use & Misuse•2025

    Background: Multiracial American adults have the highest rates of binge drinking and illicit drug use of all racial groups, yet little is known about the risk and promotive factors that contribute to their substance use. Objectives: This study examines how individual factors (i.e., shifting racial expressions, perceived racial ambiguity, creating third space, self-esteem, depression) and family cohesion relate to substance use among 574 Multiraci…

  • The talk and walk in Black families: Exploring racial socialization content and competency in the context of parental worries about racial profiling and adolescents' internalizing outcomes

    Open Access•Farzana T Saleem, N Keita Christophe et al.•ARTICLE•Family Process•2025

    Although many parents worry that their child will be the target of racial profiling, there is a dearth of literature on how parental worries about children facing racism are linked to racial socialization (RS) practices and youth internalizing symptoms. Additionally, it is unclear how RS content relative to competency may uniquely influence whether and how parental worries influence youth internalizing outcomes. Using data from 203 Black parents …

    These findings support that, at least in part, the meaning and configuration of ERI, as measured by the MEIM-R, differ slightly for NA/AN communities based on where individuals grew up and whether they identify as Multiracial. Scholars using the MEIM-R should account for these within-group differences when conducting research with NA/AN communities. Further research is necessary to holistically understand and operationalize important and salient …

  • Network analysis of ethnic–racial socialization competency and content among diverse parents of color: An eye toward intervention targets

    N Keita Christophe, Lisa Kiang et al.•ARTICLE•Developmental Psychology•2025

    To help their children survive and thrive in our unequal society, parents of color must engage in the process of ethnic-racial socialization (ERS) or teaching about race, ethnicity, and racism. Equally important to the provision of ERS messages are parents' confidence, skills, and stress levels around delivering ERS (i.e., ERS competency). Currently, little work speaks to how different aspects of parental ERS competency and the content of the mes…

  • Welcome to the Internet! How are online and in-person racism related to critical consciousness among Asian emerging adults

  • Critical consciousness and anti‐racist action as rooted in family processes

    Open Access•Yesenia Mejia, N Keita Christophe et al.•ARTICLE•Family Process•2024

    Racially ethnically marginalized communities in the United States are exposed to structural and interpersonal forms of racism that have harmful effects on their health, wealth, education, and employment (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Racism and Health . https://www.cdc.gov/minorityhealth/racism‐disparities/index.html , 2021). Although a plethora of research exists outlining these harmful effects, research examining how youth from di…

  • Measurement invariance of the LGBT People of Color Microaggressions Scale among LGBTQ + youth

    Open Access•Antonia E Caba, N Keita Christophe et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Research on Adolescence•2024•References: 18

    The LGBT People of Color Microaggressions Scale (LGBT-PCMS) is a widely used measure of intersectional microaggression experiences among sexual and gender minority people of color. Although it is widely used-and increasingly used in adolescent and young adult samples-it is unknown whether the LGBT-PCMS demonstrates similar measurement properties across subgroups of sexual and gender minority youth of color (SGMYOC). Among 4142 SGMYOC (ages 13-17)…

  • Coping with ethnic‐racial discrimination: Protective‐reactive effects of shift‐and‐persist coping on internalizing symptoms among Black American adolescents

  • Measurement invariance of the LGBT People of Color Microaggressions Scale among LGBTQ + youth

    Open Access•Antonia E Caba, N Keita Christophe et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Research on Adolescence•2024•References: 18

While there is existing …
