ABSTRACT

Scholars studying ethnic-racial socialization often call for research with larger and more representative samples to permit comparison of the behaviors of members of various ethnic-racial subgroups. Moreover, research has highlighted the value of examining contextual variables that may influence ethnic-racial socialization behaviors. With a backdrop of the racially charged 2016 United States (U.S.) presidential election campaign, national survey data from White, Black, and Hispanic parents of children ages 6 to 17 were merged with geographic race data. Findings reveal that characteristics of parents (including partisanship) and children (especially age), as well as dyadic characteristics of the parent–child (e.g., general talk frequency and campaign-related talk) and of the geographic context (i.e., county racial composition) affect the frequency of parent–child racism talk. Many predictors vary in their importance by parent ethnicity-race. For instance, White parents talk about racism less, and Black parents more, when Whites numerically dominate the county in which they reside.

摘要

研究种族-种族社会化的学者经常呼吁采用更大和更具代表性的样本进行研究，以便比较各个种族-种族群体的成员的行为。此外，研究还强调了研究可能影响种族-种族社会化行为的环境变量的价值。在2016年美国种族歧视总统大选的背景下，来自6至17岁儿童的白人，黑人和西班牙裔父母的国家调查数据与地理种族数据合并。研究发现表明，父母（包括党派）和孩子（尤其是年龄）的特征，以及亲子的二元特征（例如，一般的谈话频率和与竞选活动相关的谈话）以及地理环境（即，县种族组成）影响亲子种族主义言论的频率。许多预测因素的重要性因父母种族而异。例如，当白人在数字上支配他们所居住的县时，白人父母谈论种族主义的次数较少，黑人父母谈论的则更多。
