Little is known about how different school racial climate experiences influence the critical reflection and subsequent critical action behaviors of racially minoritized youth. Therefore, the current study examined how critical reflection mediated the relationship between school racial climate profiles and critical action behaviors. Participants were 559 Black and Latinx adolescents, aged 13-17 who completed an online survey. Results indicated that critical reflection significantly mediated the relationships between interpersonal interactions (i.e., equal status) and anti-racist critical action behaviors. Similarly, the relationships between school racial socialization messages (i.e., cultural and critical consciousness socialization) and anti-racist critical action behaviors were also mediated by critical reflection. Findings have implications for how dimensions of the school racial climate differentially relate to racially minoritized youth's critical consciousness.
对于不同的学校种族氛围体验如何影响少数族裔青年的批判性反思和随后的批判性行动行为，人们知之甚少。因此，本研究探讨了批判性反思如何调节学校种族氛围特征与批判性行动行为之间的关系。参与者是 559 名 13-17 岁的黑人和拉丁裔青少年，他们完成了一项在线调查。结果表明，批判性反思显著调节了人际互动（即平等地位）与反种族主义批判性行动行为之间的关系。同样，学校种族社会化信息（即文化和批判性意识社会化）与反种族主义批判性行动行为之间的关系也受到批判性反思的调节。这些发现对于学校种族氛围的不同维度如何与少数族裔青年的批判性意识相关具有启示意义。
