The relationship between female African American primary caregivers' racial identity and their racial socialization emphases was examined. Three components of racial identity were evaluated: (1) the importance of race to the self-concept (centrality); (2) affective feelings towards group membership (private regard); and, (3) perceptions of how group members are perceived by nonmembers (public regard). Latent class cluster analysis was used to identify racial identity profiles, or dominant combinations of racial centrality, private regard, and public regard among a sample of 208 female African American primary caregivers. Mean differences in the content of caregivers' socialization emphases by profile group were then assessed. Findings indicated that caregivers' with different identity profiles emphasized different messages. These findings and their implications are discussed.
研究了非裔美国女性主要照顾者的种族认同与其种族社会化重点之间的关系。评估了种族认同的三个组成部分：(1) 种族对自我概念的重要性（核心性）；(2) 对群体成员身份的情感感受（个人认同）；以及 (3) 对非成员如何看待群体成员的看法（公众认同）。采用潜在类别聚类分析来识别种族认同概况，即208名非裔美国女性主要照顾者样本中种族核心性、个人认同和公众认同的主要组合。然后评估了不同概况组照顾者社会化重点内容的平均差异。研究结果表明，具有不同认同概况的照顾者强调不同的信息。讨论了这些发现及其意义。
