Our review, situated within the context of the United States, explores how societal forces shape youths' racial socialization processes. Specifically, we explore how youths learn beliefs about race through interactions with their environment, how these processes affect youths' engagement with race in multiple contexts, and how they contribute to the perpetuation and dismantling of racial inequality. First, we discuss key psychological theories that inform our understanding of racial socialization. Second, we discuss how families, peers, media, and environmental cues shape racial socialization processes. Finally, we discuss interventions to enhance racial socialization and offer directions for future psychological research to advance our understanding of both racial and broader socialization processes in the United States and internationally.
我们在美国背景下进行的这项综述,探讨了社会力量如何塑造青少年的种族社会化过程。具体而言,我们探究青少年如何通过与环境的互动来学习有关种族的信念,这些过程如何在多种情境中影响青少年对种族的参与,以及它们如何促成种族不平等的延续和消除。首先,我们讨论为我们理解种族社会化提供依据的关键心理学理论。其次,我们讨论家庭、同龄人、媒体和环境线索如何塑造种族社会化过程。最后,我们讨论增强种族社会化的干预措施,并为未来的心理学研究提供方向,以推进我们对美国及国际上种族和更广泛社会化过程的理解。
