“…Al though a few prior studies have examined these relationships (Hughes & Chen, 1997;Crouter et al, 2008), the current study is the first to our knowledge that (a) examined relationships between mothers' perceptions of racial/ethnic discrimination at work and adolescents' reports of racial/ethnic socialization in the home, and (b) explored differences in these associations across families from different racial/ethnic minority groups.…”

Informed by Kohn and Schooler's (1969) occupational socialization framework, this study examined linkages between racial/ethnic minority mothers' perceptions of racial/ethnic discrimination in the workplace and adolescents' accounts of racial/ethnic socialization in the home. Data were collected from 100 mother-early adolescent dyads who participated in a longitudinal study of urban adolescents' development in the Northeastern United States, including African American, Latino, and Chinese families. Mothers and adolescents completed surveys separately. We found that when mothers reported more frequent institutional discrimination at work, adolescents reported more frequent preparation for bias messages at home, across racial/ethnic groups. Mothers' experiences of interpersonal prejudice at work were associated with more frequent cultural socialization messages among African American and Latino families. Chinese youth reported fewer cultural socialization messages when mothers perceived more frequent interpersonal prejudice at work. Findings are discussed in the context of minority groups' distinct social histories and economic status in the United States.

“…Finally, we expected that links between parents' and adolescents' religiosity would be stronger for adolescents who rated themselves higher on the exploration and commitment dimensions of ethnic identity. All analyses controlled for parental education, biological status of fathers, and adolescent age and birth order due to their potential roles in African American parent-adolescent relationships (Crouter, Baril, Davis, & McHale, 2008). …”

Objectives To advance understanding of youth religiosity in its sociocultural context, this study examined the associations between parents' and adolescents' religious beliefs and practices and tested the roles of parent and youth gender and youth ethnic identity in these linkages. Methods The sample included 130, two-parent, African American families. Adolescents (49% female) averaged 14.43 years old. Mothers, fathers, and adolescents were interviewed in their homes about their family and personal characteristics, including their religious beliefs. In a series of seven nightly phone calls, adolescents reported on their daily practices , including time spent in religious practices (e.g., attending services, prayer), and parents reported on their time spent in religious practices with their adolescents. Results Findings indicated that mothers' beliefs were linked to the beliefs of sons and daughters, but fathers' beliefs were only associated with the beliefs of sons. Mothers' practices were associated with youths' practices, but the link was stronger when mothers' held moderately strong religious beliefs. Fathers' practices were also linked to youth practices, but the association was stronger for daughters than for sons. Conclusions Findings highlight the understudied role of fathers in African American families, the importance of examining religiosity as a multidimensional construct, and the utility of ethnic homogeneous designs for illuminating the implications of sociocultural factors in the development of African American youth.

“…The few existing studies have provided some evidence of the association between African American fathers' racial identity beliefs and their socialization practices. Crouter et al () found that the centrality of race and personal beliefs regarding African Americans were associated with greater communication of cultural pride and preparation for bias messages among residential fathers. Using a profile‐oriented approach, White‐Johnson et al () found that parents who employed a multifaceted socialization strategy were likely to report that race was central to their self‐concept and more positive beliefs about their racial group than those who were low in racial socialization frequency.…”

Existing parenting frameworks have suggested that fathers' developmental histories and social experiences are important determinants of their parenting practices. Few studies, however, have examined how the larger racial context is related to the parenting and socialization practices of African American fathers. Using a profile-oriented approach, this investigation examines how fathers' racial identity beliefs (racial centrality and regard) and discrimination experiences are associated with race-related socialization patterns identified by Cooper, Smalls, Neblett, and Banks (2014). Participants were 166 African American fathers (M = 32.20, SD = 8.24) of adolescents (M = 12.60, SD = 2.20). Latent profile analyses identified five distinct racial socialization patterns among fathers: (a) infrequent racial socializers, (b) negative racial socializers, (c) positive racial
