Ethnic-racial socialization is a salient component of parenting in Black families. What is less clear is how Black families discuss ethnicity-race and social inequalities with pubescent children. We examined associations between pubertal timing and ethnic-racial socialization among mothers (M_age = 42) of Black (n = 286) and Black-White biracial (n = 233) girls aged 9–12. Moderation by maternal stress about puberty was also examined. Results indicated mothers of Black girls who were stressed about puberty reported more preparation for bias; whereas both groups of mothers reported more cultural socialization. Early pubertal timing and high maternal stress about puberty predicted more cultural socialization among both groups and more egalitarian beliefs among only mothers of Black-White biracial girls. The findings highlight the importance of ethnic-racial socialization during puberty.

青春期过渡期间黑人和黑白混血儿母亲的种族社会化

种族社会化是黑人家庭养育子女的重要组成部分。不太清楚的是黑人家庭如何与青春期儿童讨论种族和社会不平等。我们检查 了黑人（n = ₂₈₆  ）和黑白混血儿（n = 233) 9-12 岁的女孩。还检查了母体对青春期压力的调节作用。结果表明，对青春期感到压力的黑人女孩的母亲报告了对偏见的更多准备；而两组母亲都报告了更多的文化社会化。青春期的提前时间和对青春期的高母性压力预示着两个群体之间会有更多的文化社会化，而只有黑人-白人混血女孩的母亲才会有更多的平等主义信仰。研究结果强调了青春期种族-种族社会化的重要性。
