“…However, some researchers highlighted the fact that not all studies show advantages for two-parent homes (Heiss, 1996; Phillips & Asbury, 1993). Also, even for the studies that do, the effect sizes may not be large enough to be socially relevant (Heiss, 1996).…”

This study examined the effects of marital status, family income, and family functioning on African American adolescents' self-esteem. One hundred sixteen adolescents participated, 64% of whom were female. Compared with boys with nonmarried parents, boys with married parents had higher overall self-esteem, even when family income and family functioning were controlled. Parental marital status had no effect on girls' self-esteem. Family functioning was a very strong predictor of self-esteem for both sexes. However, family relational factors were more important to girls' self-esteem, whereas structural and growth factors were more important for boys. It was concluded that African American adolescent boys with nonmarried parents are at risk for developing low self-esteem compared with other African American adolescents, but a more controlled and structured environment may buffer the effects of having nonmarried parents.

“…McCray et al (2010) illumine educational initiatives that rely on existing, often untapped strengths found among Black youth to foster positive educational outcomes. And Al-Fadhli and Kersen (2010) confirm the importance of synergy between Black churches and families to increase educational ambitions among Black youth.…”

“…Barnett's ethnography centers a church and pastor that uses church strengths and assets to teach youth to expect and celebrate educational achievement. Moreover, Al-Fadhli and Kersen (2010) find a positive relationship between familial capital (i.e., social capital via education) and church cultural capital (via church involvement) among Black families and college aspirations and goals for Black youth. Additionally, Black churches are increasingly incorporating gospel rap music during worship to attract and retain Black youth (Allwood 2006; Barnes 2009).…”

Review of Religious Research

The Black Church has a long history of sponsoring youth educational programs. Yet Black students continue to lag behind their White counterparts in academic outcomes. This research note examines; (1) sponsorship of tutoring or literacy programs based on a national sample of 1,863 Black churches across seven denominations and (2) the forms of congregational cultural capital that influence such efforts. Results show denominational differences. Moreover, larger churches as well as those with formally educated leaders and members are more likely to sponsor tutorial or literacy programs. Churches that provide religious and religious-education programs, include gospel rap music during worship, and strive to increase members’ awareness of racial, social, and political issues are also more likely to sponsor these programs. Lastly, although the influence of spiritual dictates varies, churches that more frequently expose members to sermons about personal spiritual growth are also more apt to offer these youth educational programs. Best practices are provided to identify and harness the various forms of church capital found in Black congregations to improve educational outcomes for Black students.

“…Sin embargo, algunos investigadores destacan el hecho de que no todos los estudios muestran ventajas para los hogares de dos padres (Heiss, 1996;Phillips y Asbury, 1993). Igualmente algunos investigadores argumentan que las muestras de algunos estudios pueden no ser suficientemente grandes para ser socialmente relevantes (Heiss, 1996).…”

El estudio pretendió determinar en qué medida el clima percibido en el hogar, la escuela y la iglesia, la estructura familiar, el contexto socioeconómico, la religiosidad y el género, en presencia del esfuerzo que hace el alumno para representarse bien socialmente, son factores que, en su conjunto o en parte, se relacionan con el grado de virtud que sostuvieron haber alcanzado los estudiantes de educación media (n = 1090) de la ciudad de Medellín, Colombia, en el año 2002. Se utilizaron el Cuestionario de Valoración de la Virtud de Loehrer para medir el grado de virtud y de deseabilidad social y el Cuestionario de Concepto del Estudiante para medir la percepción que el estudiante tiene del clima del hogar, la escuela y la iglesia. El grado de deseabilidad social resultó el factor más relacionado con el grado de virtud que dicen tener los estudiantes, seguido del clima percibido en el hogar, la iglesia y la escuela, y la religiosidad.
