The purpose of this study was to examine the relation between profiles of adolescents' reports of their mothers' racial socialization (e.g., racial pride and racial barrier messages) and feelings toward their mothers' parenting (e.g., providing a warm, positive climate; using child-centered strategies) and youth engagement. This research addresses the paucity of literature that examines the impact of mothers' parenting as a buffer to declines in school engagement for African American youth. Given that parenting is embedded in a specific cultural niche, this study examines the synergy between racial socialization and mother-child relationship quality. Engagement outcomes consisted of a participant's ability to persist on task in the face of obstacles (task persistence) and their interest and active participation in class (academic engagement). Latent profile analysis on the sample of 94 self-identified African American youth (ages 11-14) revealed three profiles of racial socialization and affective relationship quality. The profiles and their associations with adolescent engagement are discussed. The findings support the importance of examining racial messages in tandem with broad parenting.
本研究旨在探讨青少年对其母亲的种族社会化（例如，种族自豪感和种族障碍信息）和对母亲养育方式（例如，提供温暖、积极的氛围；采用以孩子为中心的策略）的感受与青少年参与度之间的关系。本研究弥补了文献中的空白，即检验母亲养育作为缓冲因素，以减少非裔美国青少年在学校参与度下降的影响。鉴于养育方式根植于特定的文化环境中，本研究检验了种族社会化和母子关系质量之间的协同作用。参与度的结果包括参与者在面对障碍时坚持完成任务的能力（任务坚持）以及他们对课堂的兴趣和积极参与（学业参与）。对 94 名自我认定为非裔美国青少年（年龄在 11-14 岁之间）的样本进行潜在剖面分析，揭示了种族社会化和情感关系质量的三种模式。讨论了这些模式及其与青少年参与度的关联。研究结果支持了同时考察种族信息和广泛的养育方式的重要性。
