This collaborative proposal focuses on African American parents' racial beliefs and experiences as mechanisms shaping their parenting relevant to youths' science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) success. The purpose of the longitudinal study is to investigate the relationship of parents' race related beliefs to their socialization (particularly their fostering of science and math skills) of their early adolescent children. The project links race as a social identity with parenting and young adolescents' performance in science and mathematics. The investigators will obtain survey data in Grades 6, 7, and 8 from 380 African American students, one of their parents, and their teachers. Hypotheses regarding the relationships between parents' race-related experiences and beliefs (i.e., racial discrimination, knowledge of inequalities, racial identity, and endorsement of race stereotypes) and the academic socialization of their children will be tested. Differences in these processes by child gender and ability will be examined. The project's intellectual merit is its potential to advance understanding about STEM success for underrepresented youth. The focus will yield new insights in an area where African American youth are likely to face negative stereotypes and discriminatory treatment, and where most prior research has focused on classroom processes rather than parenting. Broader impacts of the work are in the realms of education and training; inclusion of under-represented groups; and dissemination to teachers, families, the public, and to the scientific community.

该合作提案重点关注非裔美国父母的种族信仰和经验，将其作为塑造与青少年科学、技术、工程和数学 (STEM) 成功相关的养育方式的机制。 纵向研究的目的是调查父母的种族相关信念与其青春期早期孩子的社会化（特别是他们对科学和数学技能的培养）的关系。 该项目将种族作为一种社会身份与养育子女以及青少年在科学和数学方面的表现联系起来。调查人员将从 380 名非裔美国学生、他们的一名家长和老师那里获得 6、7 和 8 年级的调查数据。 关于父母与种族相关的经历和信仰（即种族歧视、不平等知识、种族认同和对种族刻板印象的认可）与其孩子的学术社会化之间关系的假设将得到检验。将检查这些过程中儿童性别和能力的差异。 该项目的智力价值在于它有可能促进对代表性不足的年轻人在 STEM 方面取得成功的理解。该重点将在非裔美国青年可能面临负面刻板印象和歧视性待遇的领域产生新的见解，并且大多数先前的研究都集中在课堂过程而不是养育子女。这项工作的更广泛影响涉及教育和培训领域；纳入代表性不足的群体；并向教师、家庭、公众和科学界传播。
