Using a three-wave longitudinal sample of 108 Chinese American parent-adolescent dyads (M = 45.44 years, 17% fathers; M = 13.34 years, 50% boys), this study examined the effects of parents' COVID-19-related racial discrimination experiences on adolescents' ethnic identity exploration and anxiety as mediated by parents' awareness of discrimination (AOD) socialization and moderated by parents' anxiety and racial socialization competency (RSC). Parents' racial discrimination experiences in 2020 predicted adolescents' greater ethnic identity exploration or greater anxiety in 2022 via parents' greater use of AOD in 2021, depending on the levels of parents' anxiety and RSC. These findings highlighted individual and contextual factors impacting racial socialization processes in Chinese American families.
本研究使用了一个三波纵向样本，包括 108 对中美裔家长-青少年亲子对（父母平均年龄为 45.44 岁，17%为父亲；青少年平均年龄为 13.34 岁，50%为男孩），探讨了父母的 COVID-19 相关种族歧视经历对青少年的种族认同探索和焦虑的影响，这种影响是通过父母对歧视的意识（AOD）社会化的中介作用和父母的焦虑和种族社会化能力（RSC）的调节作用来实现的。父母在 2020 年的种族歧视经历通过父母在 2021 年更多地使用 AOD，预测了青少年在 2022 年更强的种族认同探索或更强的焦虑，这取决于父母的焦虑和 RSC 的水平。这些发现强调了影响美籍华人家庭中种族社会化过程的个体和环境因素。
