We coded responses from 720 White students attending one of four predominantly White institutions and compared the distribution of codes between the intervention and control conditions. Among participants who confronted, those in the intervention group were more likely than those in the control group to report feeling confident in how to confront. Among participants who did not confront, participants in the control condition were more likely to report that they believed confrontations are ineffective.

However, much is unknown about how critical action (a key component of critical consciousness) develops among Black immigrant youth who uniquely experience both anti-Black racism and xenophobia in the United States. This qualitative study examines the contextual and developmental factors that shape Black immigrant adolescents’ retrospective interpretations and engagement in critical action during a period of heightened sociopolitical mobilization, the Black Lives Matter movement in 2020. In-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted with 15 adolescents ages 13–17 (<i>M</i>age = 15.7; 66.6% girls and 33.3% boys; 73.3% born in the U.S.). Through deductive analysis, we identified <i>dimensions of ethnic-racial socialization</i>, <i>identity position in racial justice movements</i>, and <i>levels of (dis)engagement in activism</i> as primary interrelated themes that highlight the complexity of Black immigrant adolescents’ meaning-making of sociopolitical movements. Within and across these themes, we identified subthemes that further captured the nuance of Black immigrant adolescents’ positioning in the context of critical action. Overall, our findings contribute to a new understanding of critical action, particularly among adolescents navigating unique and complicated experiences related to racism and xenophobia, to identify ways to support the development and sustenance of critical action, particularly during adolescence.</p>","PeriodicalId":17008,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Social Issues","volume":"82 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2026-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/josi.70052","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148023976","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Across two experimental studies with Black Americans (<i>n</i> = 272), and Asian Americans (<i>n</i> = 279), we examined how environmental ISCs and confrontations jointly shape perceptions of Identity Threat and Ally Sincerity using a 2 (ISC: Present, Absent) × 2 (Confrontation: Present, Absent) between-subjects design. Results revealed that while ISCs can reduce Identity Threat and increase Ally Sincerity, prejudice confrontations are more consistent and effective. Additionally, there is no evidence for a backlash effect whereby having an ISC without a confrontation is worse than doing nothing.
