This research examined the longitudinal trajectories and family correlates of gender role attitudes in African American youth in a sample of 166 sibling pairs residing with their mothers and fathers. Multilevel modelling revealed that (1) girls and boys exhibited significant declines in gender attitude traditionality from ages 9 to 15 that levelled off through age 18, (2) mothers' (but not fathers') gender role attitude traditionality was positively related to youth's attitude traditionality, and (3) within-person variation in mothers' (but not fathers') racial discrimination experiences was negatively related to within-person variation in youth's gender role attitude traditionality. The utility of applying a cultural ecological framework within an ethnic homogenous, accelerated longitudinal design to understand African American family processes, in conjunction with the intersectionality between race and gender, is the focus of the discussion. Statement of contribution What is already known on this subject? Gender role attitude traditionality declined for girls, but not for boys, in European and Mexican American families. Little is known about the roles of African American parents in shaping their children's gender development. What does this study add? For African American girls and boys, gender role attitude traditionality declined from ages 9 to 15 and then levelled off through age 18. At the between-person level, African American mothers', but not fathers', attitude traditionality was positively linked to that of their children. At the within-person level, African American mothers', but not fathers', experiences of racial discrimination were negatively linked to their children's attitude traditionality.
本研究以166对与父母同住的非裔美国青少年同胞为样本，考察了他们性别角色态度的纵向轨迹及其家庭相关因素。多层次模型显示：（1）女孩和男孩在9岁至15岁期间性别态度传统性显著下降，到18岁时趋于平稳；（2）母亲（而非父亲）的性别角色态度传统性与青少年的态度传统性呈正相关；（3）母亲（而非父亲）种族歧视经历的个体内差异与青少年性别角色态度传统性的个体内差异呈负相关。讨论的重点是在种族同质的加速纵向设计中应用文化生态框架来理解非裔美国家庭过程，以及种族与性别的交叉性。贡献声明关于该主题已知的内容有哪些？在欧洲裔和墨西哥裔美国家庭中，女孩的性别角色态度传统性下降，而男孩则不然。对于非裔美国父母在塑造孩子性别发展方面的作用知之甚少。本研究补充了什么内容？对于非裔美国女孩和男孩来说，性别角色态度传统性在9岁至15岁期间下降，然后到18岁时趋于平稳。在个体间层面，非裔美国母亲（而非父亲）的态度传统性与子女的态度传统性呈正相关。在个体内层面，非裔美国母亲（而非父亲）的种族歧视经历与子女的态度传统性呈负相关。
