In this study we examined whether experiences of discrimination during childhood and adolescence were told to parents, the reasons for not telling, and whether telling was associated with adolescent characteristics and aspects of the current parent-child relationship. The sample included 200 ethnically diverse college students. Results supported a transactional view of socialization whereby youth who had not shared their discrimination stories expected negative parental reactions or were concerned for their parents' well-being. The likelihood of telling was not directly associated with ethnicity, gender, or parent-child communication. Rather, those who rated the discrimination event as more important and reported greater current parental cultural and racial socialization were more likely to have disclosed their story of discrimination, depending on ethnicity. Understanding disclosure of discrimination experiences is important. When adolescents choose not to share experiences of discrimination with their parents, there may be lost opportunities for a greater understanding of these challenging experiences.
在这项研究中，我们考察了青少年时期的歧视经历是否告知父母、不告知的原因，以及告知是否与青少年的特征和当前亲子关系的方面有关。该样本包括 200 名不同种族的大学生。研究结果支持了一种关于社会化的交互作用观点，即那些没有分享自己歧视经历的年轻人预计会得到父母的负面反应，或者担心父母的幸福。告知的可能性与种族、性别或亲子沟通没有直接关系。相反，那些认为歧视事件更重要、报告当前父母文化和种族社会化程度更高的人，更有可能根据种族披露自己的歧视经历。了解歧视经历的披露情况很重要。当青少年选择不与父母分享歧视经历时，他们可能会错失更多了解这些充满挑战的经历的机会。
