This study examined thematic patterns of parents' engaged coping messages in response to their adolescents' negative race-based experiences. Ten focus groups were conducted with 73 Black parents from a Southeastern city (73% female). Using modified grounded theory, narratives that supported adolescent engaged coping were coded for three ethnic-racial socialization messages, the perpetrator, and the setting, followed by inductive (open) coding. The majority of experiences were school-related. Themes were informed by parents' critical engagement, ethnic-racial socialization, and engaged racial coping. Findings revealed that parents advised a repertoire of engaged coping strategies, from actively confronting interpersonal perpetrators (e.g., peers), to critically engaging with institutional perpetrators. Strategies to develop adolescents' critical reflection and anti-racism actions to dismantle racism across contexts are discussed.
本研究调查了父母针对青少年基于种族的负面经历所传达的积极应对信息的主题模式。对来自东南部一个城市的73名黑人父母（73%为女性）进行了10个焦点小组访谈。采用改进的扎根理论，对支持青少年积极应对的叙述进行编码，涉及三种族裔-种族社会化信息、肇事者和背景，随后进行归纳（开放式）编码。大多数经历与学校有关。主题受到父母的批判性参与、族裔-种族社会化和积极的种族应对的影响。研究结果表明，父母建议了一系列积极应对策略，从积极对抗人际肇事者（如同伴）到与机构肇事者进行批判性接触。讨论了培养青少年批判性反思和反种族主义行动以消除不同背景下种族主义的策略。
