Abstract

There is limited research on racial socialization and its potential protective effect on youth mental health within Multiracial families. With a sample of Multiracial families (N = 209; 46 % female youth), we investigated associations between adolescent experiences of racial discrimination (parent and youth reports at ages 14 and 16) and racial socialization (observational task at age 14) on depressive symptoms (youth report at age 16). Multiracial youth with more experiences of discrimination had more depressive symptoms. Multiracial youth who received more racial socialization in the form of a combination of preparation for bias for youth with or without past experiences of discrimination, cultural pride, and egalitarian messages had fewer depressive symptoms. However, observed racial socialization did not moderate the association between discrimination and depressive symptoms. The findings call for ongoing efforts to support youth and their families in the context of discrimination.

歧视背景下的青少年心理健康：考察多种族种族社会化

关于种族社会化及其对多种族家庭中青少年心理健康的潜在保护作用的研究有限。样本为多种族家庭(N = 209；我们调查了青少年种族歧视经历（14岁和16岁时父母和青少年报告）和种族社会化（14岁时观察任务）对抑郁症状的影响（16岁时青少年报告）之间的关系。受歧视经历越多的多种族青年抑郁症状越多。多种族青年接受了更多的种族社会化的形式，包括对有或没有过去的歧视经历、文化自豪感和平等主义信息的青年偏见的准备，他们的抑郁症状更少。然而，观察到的种族社会化并没有缓和歧视与抑郁症状之间的联系。调查结果呼吁在歧视背景下继续努力支持青年及其家庭。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Applied Developmental Psychology focuses on two key concepts: human development, which refers to the psychological transformations and modifications that occur during the life cycle and influence an individual behavior within the social milieu; and application of knowledge, which is derived from investigating variables in the developmental process. Its contributions cover research that deals with traditional life span markets (age, social roles, biological status, environmental variables) and broadens the scopes of study to include variables that promote understanding of psychological processes and their onset and development within the life span. Most importantly.
