The study objective was to examine how parental endorsement of cultural pride reinforcement messages may explain African American child anxiety. Data were gathered from 72 African American parents and their elementary school-aged children. Results indicated stronger parental endorsement of cultural pride reinforcement messages predicted less child anxiety. Additionally parental endorsement of these messages moderated the relationship between child mental health risk factor exposure and child anxiety. Specifically in the presence of high exposure, children of parents who endorsed high levels of cultural pride reinforcement messages had significantly lower anxiety scores relative to children of parents who endorsed low levels of these messages. Findings indicated parental endorsement of these messages may be an important factor in explaining African American child anxiety.
该研究的目的是考察父母对强化文化自豪感信息的认可如何解释非裔美国儿童的焦虑。数据收集自72名非裔美国父母及其小学适龄子女。结果表明，父母对强化文化自豪感信息的更强认可预示着儿童焦虑程度更低。此外，父母对这些信息的认可调节了儿童心理健康风险因素暴露与儿童焦虑之间的关系。具体而言，在高暴露的情况下，认可高水平强化文化自豪感信息的父母的孩子，相对于认可低水平此类信息的父母的孩子，焦虑得分显著更低。研究结果表明，父母对这些信息的认可可能是解释非裔美国儿童焦虑的一个重要因素。
