作者使用了一种特征分析策略来识别五种复合类型的种族社会化实践或“种族社会化元信息”。作者评估了在青春期后期接收到的种族社会化元信息与年轻成年期抑郁症状之间的联系。他们发现，当受访者年龄在20岁至22岁之间时，一种谨慎的种族社会化元信息（一种将歧视警告与与大多数群体成员打交道时要警惕和谨慎的方向相结合的信息）与抑郁症状的升高有关。作者还发现，一个被赋予权力的种族社会化元信息（一个结合了关于歧视的警告和克服种族偏见的策略）部分缓冲了受访者对种族歧视的心理健康后果。
The authors use a profile analysis strategy to identify five composite types of racial socialization practices or "racial socialization meta-messages.'' The authors assess the association between racial socialization meta-messages received during late adolescence and depressive symptoms in young adulthood. They find that a guarded racial socialization meta-message (one that combines warnings about discrimination with direction to be wary and cautious when dealing with majority group members) is associated with elevated depressive symptoms when respondents are between the ages of 20 and 22 years. The authors also find that an empowered racial socialization meta-message (one that combines warnings about discrimination with strategies for overcoming racial prejudice) partially buffers respondents against the mental health consequences of racial discrimination.
