Racial Socialization and Positive Parenting Across Ages in African American Families
Fri, April 9, 1:10 to 2:40pm EDT (1:10 to 2:40pm EDT), VirtualSession Type: Paper Symposium
Abstract
Racial socialization is a protective and promotive process whereby parents instill racial pride, cultural knowledge, and coping with discriminatory racial encounters (Anderson & Stevenson, 2019). While a wealth of literature demonstrates the positive impact of racial socialization, less is known about how racial socialization functions with other positive parenting behaviors to contribute to youth developmental outcomes. In the current symposium, researchers examine racial socialization in the context of broader parenting processes among African American families. Each paper uses within group research designs to highlight the heterogeneity of parenting practices and child development among African American families. Papers highlight parents' age appropriate racial socialization processes from early childhood to early adolescence. Paper 1 investigates the interplay of racial socialization and emotion socialization in predicting emotion regulation in middle childhood. Paper 2 explores parenting processes related to racial socialization in early childhood from African American mothers' perspectives. Paper 3 examines the relationship between racial discrimination experiences of and African American fathers' STEM-focused racial socialization practices. Paper 4 presents a model of the integration of African American parents' racial and academic socialization and the implications of this integration for children's academic outcomes. Together these papers capture the complexity of parenting in African American families and underscore parents' role as critical agents of socialization for youth's social-emotional and academic development.
