We explored the socialization goals that African American, Latino, Chinese and White mothers held for their adolescents within 4 domains that are centrally relevant during adolescence-proper demeanor, academics, race/ethnicity, and peers.
A card sort task and subsequent logistic regression analyses were used to explore mothers' choice of the most important socialization goals for their ethnically/racially diverse 6th-grade adolescents (N = 185).
Compared to White mothers, African American, Latino, and Chinese mothers were significantly more likely to select proper demeanor goals that emphasize deference over benevolence, and peer goals that emphasize instrumental over relational friendships. African American and Latino mothers were more likely to select race/ethnicity goals that emphasize cultural over egalitarian goals compared to Chinese and White mothers. All mothers were more likely to select academic engagement as more important than performance. In contrast to mothers' emphases within domains, mothers' ranked the importance of these different domains remarkably similarly.
Mothers' socialization goals illustrate both similarities and differences across race/ethnicity. Findings are discussed with reference to how mothers' goals reflect broad cultural orientations as well as the contextual demands of their adolescents' experiences. (PsycINFO Database Record
我们探讨了非裔美国、拉丁裔、华裔和白人母亲在青少年期四个核心相关领域（得体举止、学业、种族/民族和同龄人）中对其青少年子女的社会化目标。
使用卡片分类任务及后续逻辑回归分析，探究母亲们为其种族/民族多样的六年级青少年（N = 185）选择的最重要的社会化目标。
与白人母亲相比，非裔美国、拉丁裔和华裔母亲更有可能选择强调顺从而非仁慈的得体举止目标，以及强调工具性而非关系性友谊的同龄人目标。与华裔和白人母亲相比，非裔美国和拉丁裔母亲更有可能选择强调文化而非平等主义目标的种族/民族目标。所有母亲都更倾向于选择学业投入比学业成绩更重要。与母亲们在各领域内的侧重点不同的是，她们对这些不同领域重要性的排序非常相似。
母亲们的社会化目标体现了不同种族/民族之间的异同。结合母亲们的目标如何反映广泛的文化取向以及其青少年经历的背景需求对研究结果进行了讨论。（《心理学文摘数据库记录》
