Racism and its ramifications are salient societal-level factors that detrimentally affect African American youth and families. Few studies have investigated how African American youth experience discrimination within families and society and colorism’s impact on racial identity, despite extensive racial discrimination research. We assessed whether the perceptions of African American youth of their skin tone affected their racial identity, familial functioning, and everyday discrimination, using the National Survey of American Life–Adolescent Supplement data. We found no significant relationships among skin tone perception, racial identity, familial functioning, or everyday experiences of discrimination. Conversely, age and gender differences were significant predictors of racial identity, family functioning, and discrimination reports. We discuss the theoretical and practical implications of these findings for social work practice.

探索肤色感知对非裔美国青年种族相关结果和家庭功能的影响:对以非洲为中心的干预措施的影响
种族主义及其后果是显着的社会层面因素,对非裔美国青年和家庭产生不利影响。尽管进行了广泛的种族歧视研究,但很少有研究调查非裔美国青年如何在家庭和社会中经历歧视以及色彩对种族认同的影响。我们使用全国美国生活调查 - 青少年补充数据,评估了非裔美国青年对其肤色的看法是否会影响他们的种族身份、家庭功能和日常歧视。我们发现肤色感知、种族认同、家庭功能或日常歧视经历之间没有显着关系。相反,年龄和性别差异是种族认同、家庭功能和歧视报告的重要预测因素。
