“…However, studies on the role of neighborhood context in parents' racial socialization remain rare. Research indicates that parents are more likely to communicate to their children about the potential for racial bias in integrated neighborhoods versus those where African American or European American populations predominate (e.g., Caughy et al, 2002Caughy et al, , 2006Stevenson, Herrero-Taylor, Cameron, & Davis, 2002). Similarly, messages about bias and the promotion of mistrust are greatest in neighborhoods characterized by negative social climate, low support, and high levels of danger (e.g., Caughy et al, 2006;Stevenson et al, 2002).…”

SYNOPSISObjective. The primary purpose of this review is to highlight methodological challenges to the study of African American parenting. Over the past two decades, research on African American parenting has burgeoned, and attempts have been made to address the shortcomings of prior work in this area. Recent studies have shed new light on the heterogeneity of African American parenting and help to identify promising directions for future research. Design. In this paper, we overview research on African American parenting, with emphasis on studies conducted over the past two decades. We discuss challenges, strengths, and gaps in the areas of conceptualization, sampling, research approaches, measurement, and design. Results and Conclusions. Great strides have been made in the methodological rigor of studies on African American parenting which have yielded a more complex understanding of parenting practices and outcomes in this population. Future research should attend to variation in the nature and influences of parenting across different subgroups of the African American population. Additionally, researchers should increasingly rely on multiple methodologies (e.g., surveys, observations, qualitative interviews); ground the measurement of parenting in the experiences of African American populations; and examine patterns within a developmental context. These research directions promise to yield new findings on processes that are unique to African American families, as well as highlight those that are common to parents across racial and ethnic groups.

“…Parents' involvement in ethnic socialization is associated with better mental health and behavioral outcomes for African American youth. Preparation for discrimination and learning about African American cultural heritage was positively associated with self-esteem among sixth-through eighth-grade students (Constantine & Blackmon, 2002), with fewer fights among 15 year olds (Stevenson, Herraro-Taylor, Cameron, & Davis, 2002), and with lower levels of total behavioral problems, internalizing problems, and externalizing behaviors among younger children (Caughy, O'Campo, Randolph, & Nickerson, 2002).…”

Adolescence is marked by change and renegotiation in almost every arena -- biological, social, and cognitive development; identity development; changes in peer relations and friendships; a renegotiation of family relationships, especially the parent-adolescent relationship; and school transitions. Further, for African Americans, adolescence is also marked by the exploration of ethnic or racial identity, which is shaped by parents' ethnic socialization and interactions with an increasingly diverse peer group. This article provides a developmental, cultural, and contextual framework for understanding changes in parenting and parental influences vis-a-vis peers. The normative developmental changes in adolescent outcomes, parenting, and parent-adolescent relationships are discussed as they are shaped by neighborhood characteristics, family-level socioeconomic status, and ethnicity and are related to mental health and developmental outcomes across late childhood through adolescence.

“…Tako se dječaci doživljavaju kao veća prijetnja i češće su izloženi diskriminaciji (Stevenson, Herrero-Taylor, Cameron i Davis, 2002), što može potaknuti roditelje na prilagođavanje poruka ovisno o djetetovu spolu. U odgoju djevojčica veći se naglasak stavlja na razvijanje rasnoga ponosa i promicanje egalitarnosti, dok se kod dječaka više na-glašava pripremanje na pristranost, osobito kada je riječ o kontaktu s policijskim osobljem (Berkel i sur., 2009;Bowman i Howard, 1985).…”

Važan dio interakcije socijalizacijskih čimbenika djece obilježen je društvenim značenjem, stavovima i vjerovanjima o važnosti etnič-ke pripadnosti, osobito u višeetničkim okruženjima. Dosadašnja istraživanja pretežno su se bavila obiteljskim funkcioniranjem i roditeljskim postupcima u obiteljima zapadnjačke kulture, većin-skih grupa u društvu i srednjega socioekonomskog statusa. Budući da se obitelji iz manjinskih grupa suočavaju sa specifičnim izazovima zbog svoje različite povijesti, kulturnoga nasljeđa i statusa u društvu, generalizacija rezultata na te obitelji ograniče-na je. Nedostaju i istraživanja koja su se bavila obiteljskim procesima vezanim uz prenošenje poruka o grupnoj pripadnosti, i to osobito na europskom području. U radu je prikazan pregled istraživanja koja su se bavila roditeljskim postupcima u smjeru prenošenja informacija, vrijednosti, vjerovanja i stavova vezanih uz etnički identitet, odnosno etničkim odgojem. Prvo su prikazana dosadašnja teorijska razmatranja o etničkom odgoju i njegovu međuodnosu s karakteristikama i iskustvima roditelja i djece te razvojnim ishodima djece. Zatim smo se osvrnuli na ograničenja provedenih istraživanja. Naposljetku, razmotrena je važnost istraživanja etničkog odgoja za odrastanje djece u višeetničkim zajednicama u Hrvatskoj, uz pregled rezultata istraživanja o etnič-kom odgoju unutar etnički podijeljene zajednice grada Vukovara.Ključne riječi: etnički odgoj, kulturno specifična socijalizacija, promicanje nepovjerenja, pripremanje na pristranost, egalitarnost Marina Štambuk, Odjel za psihologiju, Hrvatski studiji Sveučilišta u Zagrebu, Borongajska cesta 83d,
