实现积极的民族认同与少数族裔青年的积极成果相关，并通过父母的民族社会化实践得到促进。根据发展轨迹和结果的变异性研究结果，我们研究了父母的种族社会化实践和青少年的种族认同的种族差异。在 370 名自我认定为白人、非裔美国人、拉丁裔或亚裔美国人的青少年及其父母的样本中，在 10 年级和 11 年级评估了父母种族社会化实践（包括为偏见做好准备、促进不信任和文化社会化）和青少年种族身份发展（包括身份探索和承诺）。与预测一致的是，非裔美国青年比其他族裔群体的青年有更高水平的种族认同探索和承诺，非裔美国青年的父母也往往比其他族裔父母报告更高水平的种族社会化。父母文化社会化显着预测一年后青少年种族身份的探索和承诺；种族并没有调节这种联系。研究结果在样本被招募的学校和城市社区的背景下进行了讨论，强调了社会文化背景在发展中的重要性。
Achievement of a positive ethnic identity has been linked to positive outcomes for ethnic minority youth and is fostered by parental ethnic socialization practices. In light of findings of variability in developmental trajectories and outcomes, we examined ethnic group variations in parents' ethnic socialization practices and adolescents' ethnic identity. Within a sample of 370 adolescents who self-identified as White, African American, Latino/a, or Asian American, and their parents, parental ethnic socialization practices (including preparation for bias, promotion of mistrust, and cultural socialization) and adolescent ethnic identity development (including identity exploration and commitment) were assessed at 10th and 11th grades. Consistent with predictions, African American youth reported higher levels of ethnic identity exploration and commitment than youth from other ethnic groups, and parents of African American youth tended to report higher levels of ethnic socialization than other parents. Parental cultural socialization significantly predicted adolescent ethnic identity exploration and commitment 1 year later; ethnicity did not moderate this link. Findings are discussed in the context of the schools and urban community from which the sample was recruited, highlighting the importance of sociocultural context in development.
