在美国,处于种族边缘地位的社区面临结构性和人际形式的种族主义,对他们的健康产生有害影响,财富,教育,和就业(疾病控制和预防中心,种族主义与健康https://www.cdc.gov/minorityhealth/racism-qualities/index.html,2021)。尽管存在大量概述这些有害影响的研究,缺乏研究来自不同背景的青年如何有效打击种族主义的研究。新兴研究表明,家庭可能在发展批判意识和参与反种族主义行动中发挥关键作用(Bañales等人。,社会问题杂志,2021,77,964;布兰科·马丁内斯等人。,美国社区心理学杂志,2022,70,278;Lozada等人。,黑人心理学杂志,2017、43、493)。然而,许多关键的家庭进程尚未审查与青年发展反种族主义做法有关的问题。当前的研究包括327个种族不同的新兴成年人的样本(Mage=18.80,SD=1.28,范围=18-25),并探讨了族裔-种族社会化(文化社会化,为偏见做准备)和青年批判意识(反思,动机,行动)和反种族主义(人际,社区,政治变革)行动,以及家族主义价值观如何影响这些协会。结果发现,种族社会化与批判意识和反种族主义行动的各个方面都呈正相关。结果还发现,家庭主义与种族社会化显着相互作用,以预测批判意识和反种族主义行动的某些方面,但不是其他人。讨论了研究结果的含义和未来的研究方向。
Racially ethnically marginalized communities in the United States are exposed to structural and interpersonal forms of racism that have harmful effects on their health, wealth, education, and employment (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Racism and Health. https://www.cdc.gov/minorityhealth/racism-disparities/index.html, 2021). Although a plethora of research exists outlining these harmful effects, research examining how youth from diverse backgrounds effectively combat racism is lacking. Emerging research demonstrates that families may play a key role in the development of critical consciousness and participation in anti-racist actions (Bañales et al., Journal of Social Issues, 2021, 77, 964; Blanco Martinez et al., American Journal of Community Psychology, 2022, 70, 278; Lozada et al., Journal of Black Psychology, 2017, 43, 493). Yet, many key family processes have not been examined in relation to youth development of anti-racist practices. The current study included a sample of 327 racially ethnically diverse emerging adults (Mage = 18.80, SD = 1.28, range = 18-25), and explored the association between ethnic-racial
socialization (cultural
socialization, preparation for bias) and youth critical consciousness (reflection, motivation, action) and anti-racist (interpersonal, communal, political change) actions, and how familism values impact these associations. Results found that ethnic-racial
socialization was positively associated with all aspects of critical consciousness and anti-racist actions. Results also found that familism significantly interacted with ethnic-racial
socialization to predict some aspects of critical consciousness and anti-racist actions, but not others. Implications of the findings and future research directions are discussed.
