The present study examined changes in ethnic and racial identity (ERI) over one year among 353 Black and Latino early adolescents in relation to ethnic-racial socialization (ERS) and neighborhood economic and demographic characteristics. Parent and child reports of ERS were collected, and child ERI was assessed via self-report. Neighborhood measures included economic disadvantage and ethnic diversity. Results indicated parent report of preparation for bias was associated with greater increases in exploration but not among boys living in non-impoverished neighborhoods. In contrast, child report of preparation for bias was associated with decreases in belonging independent of child gender or neighborhood context. These findings highlight the complexities of neighborhood economic disadvantage and ERI development. Implications for future research examining gender differences and children's interpretation of ERS messages are discussed.
本研究调查了353名黑人和拉丁裔青少年在一年时间里种族和民族认同（ERI）的变化，这些变化与种族社会化（ERS）以及邻里经济和人口特征相关。收集了父母和孩子关于ERS的报告，并通过自我报告评估孩子的ERI。邻里指标包括经济劣势和种族多样性。结果表明，父母报告的偏见准备与探索方面更大的增长相关，但在非贫困社区生活的男孩中并非如此。相反，孩子报告的偏见准备与归属感的降低相关，且与孩子的性别或邻里环境无关。这些发现凸显了邻里经济劣势和ERI发展的复杂性。文中还讨论了对未来研究的启示，这些研究将考察性别差异以及儿童对ERS信息的解读。
