Excavating Culture in Parenting and Socialization Processes among Diverse Families

这次创新工作会议的目的是更深入地解决文化差异的研究养育和社会化在不同的家庭。 工作会议将提供一个机会，介绍一些合作研究项目，这些项目开始弥补关于多样化家庭的文献中的空白，并深化对文化和养育过程的研究。本次会议讨论的项目将从种族，文化和民族研究小组（SGRCE）成员可访问的20多个现有数据集的横截面中开发，SGRCE是一个多元化的学者群体，他们共同致力于推进家庭功能和儿童发展的研究。该小组的主要活动将是编写一系列研究报告/文件，分享两个主要研究领域-养育子女和族裔认同与社会化-的构想。在会议期间，合作者将展示所进行的各种研究的结果，并讨论跨数据集和文化的融合。最后，我们将计划根据我们从研究和演示中学到的知识融合数据集，以指导未来的研究。 更广泛地说，会议的目的是：1）进一步发展对不同家庭的更深入和包容性的研究，我们称之为文化的挖掘; 2）纳入并接受一种对政策和实践问题做出反应的有色人种家庭研究方法; 3）通过与专家统计顾问协商，推进每一组特定的联合分析;最后，发表关于这些问题的一组论文。

The purpose of this innovative working conference is to more deeply address cultural variations in research on parenting and socialization in diverse families. The working conference will provide the opportunity to present a number of collaborative research projects that begin to remedy gaps in the literature on diverse families and deepen the study of culture and parenting processes. The projects discussed at this conference will be developed from a cross-section of more than 20 existing data sets accessible to members of the Study Group on Race, Culture and Ethnicity (SGRCE), a diverse group of scholars who have collectively been working toward advancing research on family functioning and child development. The primary activity of the group will be to develop a series of studies/papers that share constructs within two main areas of study-- parenting and, ethnic identity and socialization. During the conference collaborators will present findings from the various studies conducted and discuss the convergence across data sets and cultures. Finally, plans will be made to fuse data sets based upon what we have learned from the research and presentations to guide future research. More broadly, the conference is meant 1) to further the development of a more in-depth and inclusive study of diverse families, which we are calling an excavation of culture; 2) to incorporate and embrace an approach to research on families of color that is responsive to policy and practice concerns; 3) to advance each particular set of joint analyses through consultation with expert statistical consultants; and 4) finally, to publish the resulting group of papers on these issues.
