This mixed methods, longitudinal study considered the developing awareness of racism of adolescents of color over 4 years of high school. A series of latent growth models were fit to consider participating adolescents' (n = 643) developing awareness of interpersonal and institutional forms of racism over five waves of surveys. Additionally, four waves of interviews with a subset of adolescents (n = 70) were analyzed through a multistep process consistent with qualitative research methods that seek to balance etic/outsider and emic/insider perspectives Participating adolescents demonstrated significant, linear growth in their awareness of interpersonal and systemic forms of racism between middle and late adolescence. Participating adolescents also most frequently cited examples of racism in the systemic domain of power to demonstrate their understanding of racism, and their invocation of examples of systemic racism grew more frequent as they advanced through high school. The present study revealed that, on average, adolescents' awareness of racism increases significantly between middle and late adolescence, but also that there is considerable heterogeneity in the ways that adolescents of color recognize and understand racism.
这项混合方法的纵向研究考察了有色人种青少年在高中四年间对种族主义认识的发展情况。一系列潜在增长模型被用于分析参与研究的青少年（n = 643）在五轮调查中对人际和制度性种族主义认识的发展。此外，通过一个与定性研究方法一致的多步骤过程，对一部分青少年（n = 70）进行的四轮访谈进行了分析，该过程旨在平衡客观/局外人视角和主观/内部人视角。参与研究的青少年在青春期中期到晚期之间，对人际和系统性种族主义的认识呈现出显著的线性增长。参与研究的青少年在权力的系统性领域中最常引用种族主义的例子来表明他们对种族主义的理解，并且随着他们在高中阶段的推进，他们引用系统性种族主义例子的频率也越来越高。本研究表明，平均而言，青少年对种族主义的认识在青春期中期到晚期之间显著增加，但有色人种青少年认识和理解种族主义的方式也存在相当大的异质性。
