“…The reliability estimate of the scores for both scales was acceptable: centrality, α = .73, and private regard, α = .73. The centrality and private regard scales have demonstrated marginal to strong internal consistency with Cronbach's α values ranging from α = .61 to .84 for these subscales when used in past research among Black adolescents (Graham et al, 2021; Scottham et al, 2008; Stevenson & Arrington, 2009).…”

This preliminary investigation explored associations between Black adolescents' experiences with parental racial socialization (racial pride and racial barrier messages), dimensions of racial identity (centrality and private regard), and critical reflection regarding the need for school change of racial inequity. One hundred fifty‐one (78 girls; 73 boys) high school students from the southeastern United States were sampled for this self‐report cross‐sectional investigation. Findings revealed significant, positive total effects of racial pride and racial barrier socialization on critical reflection. Furthermore, a significant specific indirect relationship between racial pride socialization and critical reflection through centrality (small to medium effect), but not private regard. Unexpectedly, no significant indirect associations of perceived racial barrier socialization on critical reflection through racial identity dimensions were found. Implications for our findings are discussed for school‐based practitioners and policymakers.
