Given the historical and persistent crisis of racial discrimination and violence enacted against Black communities in America, Black parents have unique considerations to prepare their children to cope with potential racial bias and discrimination in schools, neighborhoods, and community settings. Yet, there is less research on how parents' race-related experiences influence their competency in transmitting information to their children about processing and coping with widely publicized instances of racial discrimination and violence. This project will examine how Black parents perceive racially violent incidents in their immediate communities, their own interpersonal experiences with racial discrimination, their parenting practices around racial socialization, and the coping strategies parents use to impact their child’s academic and well-being outcomes. The findings will provide a more comprehensive understanding of the ways racial/ethnic minority families' navigate oppressive social contexts and support the positive development of their children. Recent widely publicized incidents of police brutality highlight the intersecting systems of inequality, injustice, and racism in the United States, elucidating a need for research documenting how Black families process and respond to such events. This study is a longitudinal, mixed methodological investigation of Black families' vulnerability to or resilience against marginalization, focusing on parenting practices and adolescent developmental trajectories. The three-year project involves two phases of research with Black parents and adolescents: (1) annual survey data to examine the influence of parents' race-related experiences and racial socialization competencies on adolescent outcomes, and (2) in-depth qualitative analysis exploring parents’ perceptions of the factors that shape their parenting practices and racial socialization competencies. The findings will provide a more comprehensive understanding of how Black families navigate racially oppressive social contexts and shed light on family processes for racial/ethnic minorities in the U.S. more broadly.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

鉴于对美国黑人社区颁布的种族歧视和暴力危机的历史和持续危机，黑人父母有独特的考虑，以准备孩子，以应对学校，社区和社区环境中潜在的种族偏见和歧视。然而，关于父母与种族相关的经历如何影响他们将信息传输给孩子有关处理和应对种族歧视和暴力实例的处理和应对的能力的研究较少。该项目将研究黑人父母如何看待其直接社区中的大致暴力事件，他们自己的种族歧视人际交往经历，围绕种族社会化的育儿做法以及父母用来影响孩子的学术和福祉成果的应对策略。这些发现将对种族/少数民族家庭在压迫性的社会环境中的方式和支持子女的积极发展的方式提供更全面的理解。最近广泛宣布的警察暴行事件突出了美国的不平等，伤害和种族主义的相交系统，阐明了研究有记录黑人家庭如何处理和应对此类事件的研究的需求。这项研究是对黑人家庭对边缘化的脆弱性或韧性的纵向，混合的方法论研究，专注于育儿实践和青少年发展轨迹。这项为期三年的项目涉及与黑人父母和青少年进行研究的两个阶段：（1）年度调查数据，以研究父母与种族相关的经历和种族社会化能力对青少年成果的影响，以及（2）深入的定性分析，探讨了父母对塑造父母习惯和种族社会化能力的因素的看法。这些发现将对黑人家庭如何在美国的种族/族裔少数民族的家庭流程进行揭示，以更广泛地了解黑人家庭的家庭流程。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为是通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响审查标准来评估的珍贵。
