This book was released on 2013-11-26 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays addresses issues related to the intersection of family relationships and several contexts for the social and emotional development of ethnic minority adolescents. The papers are organized in sections under subtitles which reflect three contextual frames through which these issues may be examined. The first section focuses on the relationship between economic factors and resources on the one hand and family relations as environments for development on the other. The next part focuses on family and peer networks and relations as contexts for the emotional and social development of adolescents. The last section takes neighborhood and school as contexts for and determinants of social and emotional adjustment in adolescence. Like much of the extant work and current thought concerning development in ethnic minority children and adolescents, the authors have highlighted the more stressful and negative aspects of these several contexts. There are a few explicit and several implicit references made to supportive and more positive contexts and manifestations of relationships which frame the developmental experiences of ethnic minority adolescents. These serve as a reminder that many ethnic minority adolescents do overcome the odds against success and grow into healthy and wholesome adults. However, in large measure, this book is a contribution to our understanding of the problematic circumstances under which a significant segment of the population exists, reminding us that life for ethnic minority adolescents is difficult. The fact that some of these young people manage to overcome the negative and stressful aspects of their experiences and defy the implicit prediction of failure to thrive is truly remarkable.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation examines the development of academic adjustment and ethnic identity among early adolescents of Mexican-origin, primarily children of immigrant parents (91% 1st or 2nd generation youth). My dissertation extends previous research by examining child development within a cultural context. My first paper examines the role of parent cultural socialization in the development of ethnic identity in early adolescence. Findings indicated that mother and father cultural socialization efforts had positive effects on later ethnic identity in youth. This association was strongest when parents showed higher levels of warmth toward their child in an observed interaction task. My second paper examines the longitudinal association between student sense of belonging in school and two positive academic outcome measures. This study also examined the impact of generational and socioeconomic status. Results demonstrated that school belonging positively predicted later academic adjustment and goals in youth but that academic measures did not predict later levels of school belonging. In addition, there were significant effects of generational and socioeconomic status on positive academic outcomes, partly replicating previous research on similar academic processes. These two studies contribute to current understanding of how family and school contexts positively impact the development of two indicators of personal well-being, ethnic identity and academic adjustment, among Mexican-origin adolescents. Esta tesis doctoral examina el desarrollo académico y de identidad cultural entre jóvenes adolescentes de origen mexicano, la mayoría hijos de padres inmigrantes (91% de los jóvenes de primera o segunda generación en los Estados Unidos). Mi tesis extiende estudios anteriores al examinar el desarrollo en un contexto cultural. Mi primer artículo examina el papel de la socialización cultural por parte de los padres en el desarrollo de la identidad cultural en la adolescencia. Los resultados indicaron que los esfuerzos de socialización cultural por parte de madres y padres, tienen efectos positivos en la el desarrollo de la identidad cultural en los jóvenes. Esta asociación entre padre e hijo resulto ser más fuerte cuando los padres mostraron niveles altos de afecto hacia su hijo mediante una interacción observada. Mi segundo artículo examina la asociación entre la experiencia de pertenencia escolar y logros académicos. Este estudio también examinó el impacto de la generación migratoria y el estado socioeconómico de la familia. Los resultados demostraron que la experiencia de pertenencia escolar predijo positivamente los logros académicos y las metas escolares de los jóvenes. Los logros académicos y las metas escolares no impactaron la experiencia de pertenencia escolar de los jóvenes, implicando que es importante que los jóvenes primero sientan pertenencia escolar para poder lograr sus metas académicas. Además, hubo efectos significantes en los logros académicos y las metas escolares basados en la generación migratoria y el estado socioeconómico de la familia. Ambos estudios contribuyen a la comprensión actual de cómo las familias y escuelas tienen un impacto positivo en el bienestar de niños y adolescentes de origen mexicano.
Download or read book Associations Between Ethnic Identity Academic Efficacy Achievement Goals and School Belonging Among Early Adolescents written by Leah Bonilla and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States is experiencing a major shift in the population as more students who are considered ethnic minorities enter the school system. These students are at an increased risk for school failure due to language barriers, challenges with experiencing potential discrimination, and debating their identities across two cultural contexts. Although students who are considered ethnic minorities risk many potential stressors, the literature has shown that ethnic identity is a factor that facilitates positive academic adjustment and engagement among this population. Previous literature has also documented mixed findings regarding the relationship between ethnic identity and school outcomes. The current study explored: (a) the associations between ethnic identity, academic efficacy, and achievement goals among early adolescents, (b) to what extent school belonging moderates the association of ethnic identity with academic efficacy and academic achievement goals, and (c) how associations between ethnic identity and outcomes vary by race (Black, Hispanic, Asian, Other, and White students) and gender. The archival dataset analyzed consisted of data collected from 436 participants in the Adolescent Development Longitudinal Study when they were in the spring of their 6th grade year. Findings revealed significant positive relationships between ethnic identity, academic efficacy, and achievement goals with the exception of performance-avoidance goals. School belonging did not moderate these relationships. Further, group differences (gender, race, and school) in the relationships between ethnic identity, academic efficacy, and achievement goals were not detected among the current sample. Implications for educators and researchers are discussed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook examines the effects and influences on child and youth development of prejudice, discrimination, and inequity as well as other critical contexts, including implicit bias, explicit racism, post immigration processes, social policies, parenting and media influences. It traces the impact of bias and discrimination on children, from infancy through emerging adulthood with implications for later years. The handbook explores ways in which the expanding social, economic, and racial inequities in society are linked to increases in negative outcomes for children through exposure to adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). Chapters examine a range of ACEs – low income, separation/divorce, family substance abuse and mental illness, exposure to neighborhood and/or domestic violence, parental incarceration, immigration and displacement, and parent loss through death. Chapters also discuss discrimination and prejudice within the adverse experiences of African American, Asian American, European American, Latino, Native American, Arab American, and Sikh as well as LGBTQ youth and non-binary children. Additionally, the handbook elevates dynamic aspects of resilience, adjustment, and the daily triumphs of children and youth faced with issues related to prejudice and differential treatment. Topics featured in the Handbook include: The intergenerational transmission of protective parent responses to historical trauma. The emotional impact of the acting-white accusation. DREAMers and their experience growing up undocumented in the USA. Online racial discrimination and its relation to mental health and academic outcomes. Teaching strategies for preventing bigoted behavior in class. Emerging areas such as sociopolitical issues, gender prejudice, and dating violence. The Handbook of Children and Prejudice is a must-have resource for researchers, graduate students, clinicians, therapists, and other professionals in clinical child and school psychology, social work, public health, developmental psychology, pediatrics, family studies, juvenile justice, child and adolescent psychiatry, and educational psychology.

This book was released on 1994-04-29 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Educators will find much useful information in this book. It offers insights for program and curriculum planning and suggests numerous topics for stimulating discussions with teens. It also raises provocative issues about how the developmental needs of youth can be served more effectively by families, communities, and educators. The book holds the potential to define personal relations as an integrated line of study that serves to develop theory and research beyond contextual boundaries. The contributors analyze the ways in which critical interpersonal bonds are forged and maintained. The relationships discussed are: The parent-teen connection; the impact of cultural diversity on teens' social development; same-sex friends as well as opposite-sex friends during adolescence; heterosexual, bisexual, gay and lesbian romantic relationships; adolescent crowds (or cliques); and relationships involving non-kin adults. The authors also explore conceptual issues that cut across relationships and the problem of integrating the views of both individuals in a relationship.

Download or read book Growing Up in America written by Richard Flory and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2010-04-28 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People's experiences of racial inequality in adulthood are well documented, but less attention is given to the racial inequalities that children and adolescents face. Growing Up in America provides a rich, first-hand account of the different social worlds that teens of diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds experience. In their own words, these American teens describe, conflicts with parents, pressures from other teens, school experiences, and religious beliefs that drive their various understandings of the world. As the book reveals, teens' unequal experiences have a significant impact on their adult lives and their potential for social mobility. Directly confronting the constellation of advantages and disadvantages white, black, Hispanic, and Asian teens face today, this work provides a framework for understanding the relationship between socialization in adolescence and social inequality in adulthood. By uncovering the role racial and ethnic differences play early on, we can better understand the sources of inequality in American life.
Download or read book Manufacturing Hope and Despair written by Ricardo D. Stanton-Salazar and published by Teachers College Press. This book was released on 2001 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Relying on a wealth of ethnographic and statistical data, this groundbreaking volume documents the many constraints and social forces that prevent Mexican-origin adolescents from constructing the kinds of networks that provide access to important forms of social support. Special attention is paid to those forms of support privileged youth normally receive and working-class youth do not, such as expert guidance regarding college opportunities. The author also reveals how some working-class ethnic minority youth become the exception, weaving social webs that promote success in school as well as empowering forms of resiliency. In both cases, the role of social networks in shaping young people’s chances is illuminated. “In this badly needed alternative to the individualism that pervades most debates about American education, Stanton-Salazar explores how Latino teenagers’ lives are embedded within social networks from home, community, and school. This grand work shows how school programs can confound or can draw from the strengths of such networks to build better lives for all.” —Bruce J. Biddle, Professor Emeritus of Psychology and Sociology, University of Missouri–Columbia “A beautifully written and inspiring book that announces a new generation of Mexican/Latino scholars. . . . This is a book which tells the tale about Mexican/Latino adolescents but, in reality, it is a book about how working-class adolescent life is socially constructed, defined, and elaborated in the United States. An eloquent rendering, indeed.” —Carlos G. Vélez-Ibáñez, Presidential Chair in Anthropology, University of California, Riverside “Using creative theorizing and rigorous methodology, Manufacturing Hope and Despair illuminates brilliantly the supposed mystery of persistent race/class inequities in American society.” —Walter R. Allen, Professor, University of California, Los Angeles
