Given the historical and persistent crisis of racial discrimination and violence enacted against Black communities in America, Black parents have unique considerations to prepare their children to cope with potential racial bias and discrimination in schools, neighborhoods, and community settings. Yet, there is less research on how parents' race-related experiences influence their competency in transmitting information to their children about processing and coping with widely publicized instances of racial discrimination and violence. This project will examine how Black parents perceive racially violent incidents in their immediate communities, their own interpersonal experiences with racial discrimination, their parenting practices around racial socialization, and the coping strategies parents use to impact their child’s academic and well-being outcomes. The findings will provide a more comprehensive understanding of the ways racial/ethnic minority families' navigate oppressive social contexts and support the positive development of their children. Recent widely publicized incidents of police brutality highlight the intersecting systems of inequality, injustice, and racism in the United States, elucidating a need for research documenting how Black families process and respond to such events. This study is a longitudinal, mixed methodological investigation of Black families' vulnerability to or resilience against marginalization, focusing on parenting practices and adolescent developmental trajectories. The three-year project involves two phases of research with Black parents and adolescents: (1) annual survey data to examine the influence of parents' race-related experiences and racial socialization competencies on adolescent outcomes, and (2) in-depth qualitative analysis exploring parents’ perceptions of the factors that shape their parenting practices and racial socialization competencies. The findings will provide a more comprehensive understanding of how Black families navigate racially oppressive social contexts and shed light on family processes for racial/ethnic minorities in the U.S. more broadly.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

鉴于美国黑人社区遭受种族歧视和暴力的历史和持续危机，黑人父母有独特的考虑，以帮助他们的孩子科普学校，社区和社区环境中潜在的种族偏见和歧视。然而，关于父母与种族有关的经历如何影响他们向子女传递关于处理和应对广为宣传的种族歧视和暴力事件的信息的能力的研究较少。该项目将研究黑人父母如何看待他们的直接社区中的种族暴力事件，他们自己的种族歧视人际交往经验，他们在种族社会化周围的育儿实践，以及父母用来影响孩子的学业和福祉结果的应对策略。研究结果将使人们更全面地了解少数族裔家庭如何应对压迫性的社会环境并支持孩子的积极发展。最近广泛宣传的警察暴行事件突出了美国不平等，不公正和种族主义的交叉系统，阐明了研究记录黑人家庭如何处理和应对此类事件的必要性。这项研究是对黑人家庭边缘化的脆弱性或抗边缘化能力的纵向、混合方法调查，重点关注育儿实践和青少年发展轨迹。这个为期三年的项目涉及两个阶段的研究与黑人父母和青少年：（1）年度调查数据，以检查父母的种族相关的经验和种族社会化能力对青少年的结果的影响，（2）深入的定性分析，探索父母的看法的因素，塑造他们的养育方式和种族社会化能力。调查结果将提供一个更全面的了解如何黑人家庭导航种族压迫的社会背景和阐明家庭过程中的种族/少数民族在美国更广泛。这个奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是值得通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估的支持。
