“…Critical consciousness socialization can be conceptualized across various stages of the PVEST model (Suzuki et al, 2023). For example, a person's net vulnerability level may influence whether critical action is a challenge or support for net stress engagement (Hope & Spencer, 2017).…”

As systems of oppression (e.g., racism) become more evident in public consciousness, Asian American families are grappling with critical discussions about social justice and oppression. To define and explore these increasingly common conversations, we propose critical consciousness socialization as an important construct for socialization research among Asian American families. Critical consciousness socialization is the transmission of knowledge about, skills for, and behavioral orientations toward analyzing and challenging systems of oppression in the interest of social justice. This article applies theories in the developmental and family sciences (Phenomenological Variant of Ecological Systems Theory and Family Systems Theory) to demonstrate future research directions for critical consciousness socialization among Asian American families. Given research suggesting that families are purveyors of information about social justice and power, research on critical consciousness socialization is important to explore the role of the family system in advancing—and actively participating in—movements towards social justice.

The existing, primarily quantitative literature suggests that for emerging adult college students (EACS), wellbeing has a complex relationship with sociopolitical development (i.e., the development of one’s awareness of and capacity to transform societal oppressions) that merits further unpacking. This study aimed to understand EACS’ reflections on their wellbeing and sociopolitical development pre-pandemic and during the pandemic, from 2019 to 2022. We conducted participatory, in-depth interviews with 27 diverse EACS across the USA (Mage = 21.7; SD = 0.8) in November 2022; 52% cisgender women, 19% transgender and gender diverse; 48% LGBQ+; 33% Asian, 33% White, 15% Black, 11% Multiracial, and 7% Latine. Using thematic analysis, we found that wellbeing, especially mental health, was a precursor for sociopolitical development. Simultaneously, wellbeing in the forms of safety, belonging, and self-actualization motivated and supported sociopolitical development. Ultimately, many participants reported a recursive and reciprocal relationship between wellbeing and sociopolitical development. We also found that participants faced ongoing challenges related to their developmental trajectories through emerging adulthood and contextual experiences within an oppressive sociopolitical context and the COVID-19 pandemic. We encourage developing ways to support wellbeing within spaces that aim to foster sociopolitical development.
