Theory and empirical evidence indicate that ethnic-racial discrimination serves as a risk factor for adolescents’ psychosocial adjustment, whereas ethnic-racial identity (ERI) development promotes positive youth adjustment and can mitigate the negative outcomes of discrimination-related risk. In Colombia, the legacies of an ethnic-racial hierarchy, mestizaje ideology (i.e., the assumption that everyone is racially mixed), and contemporary multiculturalism education reforms create a unique context for understanding adolescents’ experiences of ethnic-racial discrimination, ERI development, and their implications for psychosocial adjustment. In this study of Colombian adolescents ( N = 462; M age = 15.90 years; 47.3% female), almost 40% of participants reported experiencing ethnic-racial-based discrimination. Experiencing more frequent ethnic-racial discrimination was associated with lower self-esteem and higher depressive symptoms, whereas higher ERI resolution (i.e., gaining sense of clarity about ethnic-racial group membership) and affirmation (i.e., feeling positively about ethnic-racial group membership) were associated with higher self-esteem and lower depressive symptoms. ERI exploration (i.e., learning history and gaining knowledge about ethnic-racial group membership) was also associated with higher self-esteem and moderated the association between discrimination and depressive symptoms, such that this association was stronger at higher compared to lower levels of ERI exploration. Findings provide novel evidence for ethnic-racial-related risk and resilience processes among Colombian youth.
There is a great deal of interest worldwide in serving people with diverse abilities and needs, especially in the fi eld of education.

AbstractParenting is a valuable research topic due to its implications in comprehensive education, mental health, and violence prevention. Considerations about it include educational institutions, society and government. This article aims to identify the research trends on the phenomenon of parenting in Colombia during the decade 2004 -2014. Conceptualization, scope, related variables, approaches, results, methodologies, and limitations of published studies were analyzed. Results indicate the need for deepening the comprehensive definition and for using methodologies that allow an explanatory and / or comprehensive analysis of the phenomenon, as well as a higher awareness in urban and rural populations. These results may help to promote new research and the creation of national intervention programs that use parenting as a tool to prevent mental health issues among children and adolescents.
ResumenLa crianza es un tema de investigación valioso por sus implicaciones en la educación integral, la salud mental y la prevención de la violencia. Su reflexión compromete a las instituciones educativas, la sociedad y el estado. El presente artículo pretende identificar las tendencias investigativas sobre el fenómeno de la crianza en Colombia durante la década 2004 -2014. Se analizaron variables relacionadas, conceptualizaciones, enfoques, metodologías, resultados, alcances y limitaciones de investigaciones publicadas. También, se ha identificado una necesidad por profundizar en la definición integral y por utilizar metodologías que permitan un análisis explicativo y/o comprensivo del fenómeno, así como también ampliar el conocimiento tanto en la población urbana como la rural. Los resultados aportan a la investigación y generación de programas en el país que utilicen la crianza como herramienta para la prevención de una baja salud mental en niños y adolescentes. Palabras clave: Crianza; prácticas educativas familiares; estilos de crianza; Colombia.
