The present study focused on the content and practice of racial socialization by black parents. Sociodemographic correlates of patterns of racial socialization were examined using data from a national probability sample of 2,107 respondents (National Study of Black Americans). Multivariate analysis revealed that gender, age, marital status, region, and racial composition of neighborhood predicted whether or not black parents imparted racial socialization messages to their children. Black parents envision racial socialization as involving several components, including messages regarding their experience as minority group members, themes emphasizing individual character and goals, and information related to black cultural heritage. The findings highlighted the critical importance of sociodemographic and environmental influences on the socialization process. Implications for future research on racial socialization are discussed.
本研究聚焦于黑人父母的种族社会化内容与实践。利用来自2107名受访者的全国概率样本（美国黑人全国研究）的数据，对种族社会化模式的社会人口统计学相关因素进行了考察。多变量分析显示，性别、年龄、婚姻状况、地区以及邻里的种族构成能够预测黑人父母是否会向子女传递种族社会化信息。黑人父母认为种族社会化包含几个方面，包括关于他们作为少数群体成员经历的信息、强调个人品格和目标的主题，以及与黑人文化遗产相关的信息。研究结果凸显了社会人口统计学和环境因素对社会化过程的至关重要性。文中还讨论了对未来种族社会化研究的启示。
