最近，社会科学家越来越感兴趣的沟通，从父母到孩子的种族和种族的性质。被称为种族社会化的与种族有关的信息可能对儿童的身份发展和福祉产生重要影响。本研究探讨了频率和相关的两个方面的种族社会化的消息，民族自豪感，历史和遗产（文化社会化）和歧视和种族偏见（偏见的准备）之间的273个城市非洲裔美国人，波多黎各人和多米尼加父母的消息。父母报告更频繁的文化社会化比偏见的准备。在文化社会化的频率上没有显著的种族差异。然而，非裔美国人的父母报告更频繁的准备偏见比多米尼加的父母，反过来，报告更频繁的信息比波多黎各的父母。民族认同是一个更强的预测波多黎各和多米尼加父母之间的文化社会化比他们的非洲裔美国人的同行。相比之下，感知歧视的经验是一个更强的预测非洲裔美国人和多米尼加父母之间的偏见比波多黎各父母的准备。最后，与6-9岁儿童的父母行为报告相比，种族相关现象在10-17岁儿童的父母行为报告中的文化社会化和偏见准备方面的差异更大。
Recently, social scientists have become increasingly interested in the nature of communications from parents to children regarding ethnicity and race. Termed racial socialization, race-related messages to children may have important consequences for children's identity development and well-being. This study examined the frequency and correlates of two dimensions of racial socialization-messages about ethnic pride, history, and heritage (Cultural Socialization) and messages about discrimination and racial bias (Preparation for Bias) among 273 urban African American, Puerto Rican, and Dominican parents. Parents reported more frequent Cultural Socialization than Preparation for Bias. There were no significant ethnic group differences in the frequency of Cultural Socialization. However, African American parents reported more frequent Preparation for Bias than did Dominican parents who, in turn, reported more frequent messages of this sort than did Puerto Rican parents. Ethnic identity was a stronger predictor of Cultural Socialization among Puerto Rican and Dominican parents than among their African American counterparts. In contrast, perceived discrimination experiences was a stronger predictor of Preparation for Bias among African American and Dominican parents than among Puerto Rican parents. Finally, race-related phenomenon accounted for more variance in both Cultural Socialization and Preparation for Bias among parents reporting on their behaviors with children 10-17 years old as compared to parents reporting on their behaviors with children 6-9 years old.
