Abstract:
Ethnic/racial socialization has been identified as a key protective mechanism within minoritized populations towards racism and discrimination within the United States. Prior research has highlighted the importance of the relation between ethnic/racial identity and ethnic/racial socialization practices, but less is known about how these associations manifest across diverse groups. The current study explored the associations between parental ethnic/racial identity and ethnic/racial socialization in a national sample of 414 Black, Latine, and Asian American parents. Racially/ethnically minoritized parents from around the United States reported on their ethnic/racial identity and ethnic/racial socialization practices with their children. Hierarchical linear regressions indicated that racial centrality and private regard were significant predictors of preparation for bias and cultural socialization messages. The implications from this study are that there are myriad factors that influence socialization practices in racially/ethnically minoritized families.
