The current research recruited 200 college students from the University of North Texas to explore the direct and indirect effects of familial ethnic-racial socialization on selected psychosocial variables (i.e., general self-efficacy, life satisfaction, and psychological distress) via ethnic-racial identity variables: exploration, affirmation, and resolution. The results indicated that cultural socialization from family predicted life satisfaction via exploration and resolution, predicted general self-efficacy via affirmation and resolution, and predicted psychological distress via affirmation. Additionally, patterns between exploration, affirmation, and resolution were explored through cluster analyses, and six ethnic-racial identity clusters were identified. The amount of familial ethnic-socialization and general self-efficacy reported by participants varied significantly among the identified ethnic-racial identity clusters. Implications of the findings for therapeutic interventions, university programs, and ethnic-racial identity measurement as well as limitations and future research directions are discussed.

The current study investigated the role of racial identity dimensions (racial centrality and private regard), academic identity, and parent socialization (specifically, academic and ethnic/racial socialization: cultural socialization and preparation for bias) in promoting success among a diverse sample of Black students. The study aimed to examine how parent socialization and academic identity mediated the relationship between racial identity dimensions and academic achievement. Data was collected nationwide from 685 Black students through an online survey conducted in Spring 2022. Path models were employed to explore the relationship between racial identity dimensions and academic achievement. To account for contextual factors, the analyses incorporated academic identity and parent socialization (academic and ethnic/racial socialization, including cultural socialization and preparation for bias) as mediators, while gender was considered as a moderator. However, the mediation analyses did not yield statistically significant results, highlighting the need for further research to investigate the nuanced relationship between these factors. In addition to the path models, supplementary analyses were conducted, including bivariate correlations and exploratory factor analyses of the scales used: Identification with Academics (IAS, Osborne, 1997), Identification with School Questionnaire (ISQ, Voelkl, 1996), Education Socialization Scale (ESS, Bempechat et al., 1999), and Parent Ethnic/Racial Socialization (PERS, Hughes & Chen, 1999). The results of the exploratory factor analyses and subsequent evaluation of psychometric properties revealed inconsistencies between the factor structures suggested by previous studies and the current study for the Identification with Academic, Identification with School Questionnaire, and Education Socialization Scale. This suggests the need for further refinement and validation of these measurement instruments. However, the exploratory factor analysis of the Parent Ethnic/Racial Socialization scale aligned with existing literature, indicating its appropriateness for use with Black students. Bivariate correlation analyses demonstrated small-to-moderate relationships that were consistently observed across most variables. Academic identity demonstrated a strong and significant correlation with private regard and a moderate and significant correlation with racial centrality. GPA demonstrated a moderate and significant correlation with academic identity and private regard and a small but significant correlation with racial centrality and parent academic socialization. Students who endorse a stronger academic identity and racial identity (private regard and racial centrality) are more likely to have better academic outcomes, including higher GPA. Furthermore, the findings related to parent academic socialization suggest that parental support and engagement may continue to have some influence on the academic performance of Black students, even in adulthood. The implications of the findings were such that fostering a strong academic identity and a positive racial identity contributed to better academic outcomes for Black students. Further, the findings highlight the sustained influence of parental support and engagement on the academic performance of Black students, even as they transition into adulthood. This underscores the significance of ongoing parental involvement throughout a student's educational journey. / School Psychology

The current literature suggests that familial ethnic-racial socialization of ethnic-racial minority individuals is significantly associated with various aspects of ethnic-racial identity which in turn, is associated with their psychosocial well-being. However, little research attention has examined this indirect effect path for South Asian American adults. The current research explored the direct and indirect effects of familial ethnic-racial socialization on selected psychosocial well-being variables via ethnic-racial identity and religious identity variables in this understudied group—South Asian American adults. Potential participants were recruited through SONA and social media to complete an online research questionnaire that measured all variables of interest. After the data cleaning procedures and removal of those disqualified, a total of 178 South Asian American adults were included in the final sample for analyses. Hypotheses were investigated using exploratory factor analyses, path analyses, and moderated mediation analyses. Findings identified three specific indirect effect paths of familial ethnic-racial socialization on general self-efficacy and life satisfaction through different ethnic-racial identity and religious identity variables. Additionally, results of the exploratory factor analyses demonstrated that religious identity variables were integral and distinct components in the identity development of South Asian Americans by being a coherent yet distinct factor from the ethnic-racial identity variable. The hypothesized moderator effects of gender, family cohesion, and ethnic-racial composition of current and childhood social network on various paths of the indirect effect model were not significant. Limitations, future directions, and implications for counseling, diversity, and advocacy issues are outlined.

[pt] O presente estudo teve como objetivo geral investigar sobre trajetórias de socialização e socialização étnico-racial em famílias negras brasileiras, abrangendo interações dos filhos e filhas no ambiente familiar e no espaço escolar, desde a infância até o fim da adolescência. Para tanto, o trabalho foi dividido em três grandes eixos temáticos: O Eixo 1 apresentou as famílias negras em contexto sócio histórico brasileiro, narrando a história e a trajetória de cada família entrevistada. O Eixo 2 discorreu sobre trajetórias de socialização e socialização étnico-racial no ambiente familiar e escolar, com foco na infância e na adolescência dos filhos/as participantes. O Eixo 3 abordou os projetos educativos das famílias para a prole, buscando compreender como os filhos/as vivenciaram na prática os projetos educativos elaborados pelos seus cuidadores. Foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas com 10 famílias, composta por 10 díades (10 mães e 6 filhas e 4 filhos), mais 1 mãe que deu o seu relato, porém o filho não pode participar, totalizando 11 mães participantes. Para a obtenção dos resultados foi feita a análise de conteúdo (Bardin, 2016) e pelo software IRaMuTeQ. Nos resultados encontrou-se que o investimento parental de cuidado extra maternal foi necessário na trajetória de socialização da prole, com ajuda fundamental da rede de apoio, especialmente das avós, irmãs, tias e vizinhas. No geral, os ambientes de cuidado das famílias entrevistadas envolveram múltiplos cuidadores, com diversas pessoas funcionando como parceiros de interação. Porém, a figura materna continuou sendo a referência principal de cuidado com a prole, sendo a figura paterna fonte de apoio secundário, mas quase sempre ausente ou indisponível. As histórias compartilhadas destacaram a importância atribuída à escolha da escola que está diretamente relacionada com as vivências na escola, mas tais vivências fogem do controle dos projetos educativos das mães, como racismo, discriminação, bullying e preconceito. Acredita-se que essa pesquisa contribui significativamente para a literatura sobre famílias negras, trajetórias de socialização e socialização étnico-racial, porém, o estudo tem limitações, como a multiplicidade temática, e necessita ser ampliado e aprofundado. Entretanto, oferece valiosas contribuições para as áreas de psicologia clínica, social e do desenvolvimento, promovendo reflexões sobre as complexidades em torno das famílias negras e da socialização étnico-racial nesse núcleo. Sugere-se, ainda, que seu material possa ser utilizado como referência na construção de ferramentas teórico-práticas de intervenção clínica e social. / [en] The overall objective of this study was to investigate the socialization trajectories and ethnic-racial socialization in Brazilian Black families, encompassing children s interactions in the familial and school environments from early childhood to the end of adolescence. To this end, the work was structured around three main thematic axes: Axis 1 delves into Black families in the Brazilian socio-historical context, narrating the history and trajectory of each interviewed family. Axis 2 discusses socialization trajectories and ethnic-racial socialization within both the family and school environments, focusing on the childhood and adolescence of the participating children. Axis 3 approaches the families educational projects for their offspring, seeking to understand how the children experienced the educational projects drawn up by their caregivers in practice. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 10 families, consisting of 10 mother-child dyads (10 mothers and 6 daughters and 4 sons), in addition to 1 mother who gave her account despite her son s inability to participate, totaling 11 participating mothers. The results were obtained using content analysis (Bardin, 2016) and the IRaMuTeQ software. The findings underscored the necessity of parental investment in extra-maternal care within the offspring s socialization trajectory, with fundamental support from the support network, particularly grandmothers, sisters, aunts, and neighbors. In general, the caregiving environments of the interviewed families involved multiple caregivers, with various individuals acting as interaction partners. However, the maternal figure remained the primary caregiver, whereas the paternal figure was the secondary one, although almost always absent or inaccessible. The narratives emphasized the importance of school selection, which is directly linked to the experiences at school – albeit such experiences are beyond the control of the mothers educational projects –, such as racism, discrimination, bullying, and prejudice. Despite limitations, such as the multiplicity of themes approached and the need for further expansion and depth, this research contributes significantly to the literature on Black families, socialization trajectories, and ethnic-racial socialization of Black children. Nonetheless, it also provides valuable contributions to the fields of clinical, social, and developmental psychology, promoting reflections on the intricate dynamics within Black families and the ethnic-racial socialization among this group. Furthermore, it is also suggested that this research can be used as a reference for the construction and development of theoretical and practical tools for both clinical and social intervention.
