Item Ethnic-racial socialization practices, gender, and academic achievement among high school adolescents(2020-01-01) Telfer, Nicole A; Else-Quest, Nicole; Maton, Kenneth; Psychology; PsychologyAcademic achievement is an important determinant of adolescent outcomes (Skinner, McHale, Wood, & Telfer, 2018). Moreover, parents sometimes engage in ethnic-racial socialization (ERS) practices in an effort to increase youth'sself-esteem, and ERS practices have been found to have implications for youth'sacademic achievement. The current study explored how parents? ERS practices, such as preparation for bias, promotion of mistrust, and cultural socialization were associated with subsequent academic achievement among African American, Asian American, Latinx, and European American adolescent boys and girls. A total of 370 adolescents from waves 1 (T1) and 2 (T2) were recruited to the Philadelphia Adolescent Life Study (PALS). Results revealed significant racial/ethnic group differences and gender similarities in ERS practices. Yet, ERS did not predict youth'sacademic achievement; neither gender nor the interaction between gender and race/ethnicity moderated that link. Future studies should continue to explore the role of socio-cultural factors on youth'sachievement.Item The Impact of Parental and Peer Social Support on Dating Violence Perpetration and Victimization Among Female Adolescents: A Longitudinal Study(Violence and Victims, 2014-04) Richards, Tara N.; Branch, Kathryn A.; Ray, K.A.Little is known about the role social support may play in reducing the risk of adolescent dating violence perpetration and victimization. This study is a longitudinal analysis of the independent impact of social support from friends and parents on the risk of emotional and physical dating violence perpetration and victimization among a large sample of female youth (n 5 346). Findings indicate that 22% of the sample indicated perpetrating physical dating violence against a partner, whereas almost 16% revealed being the victim of physical dating violence; 34% of the sample indicated perpetrating emotional dating violence against a partner, whereas almost 39% revealed being the victim of emotional dating violence. Negative binomial regression models indicated that increased levels of support from friends at Time 1 was associated with significantly less physical and emotional dating violence perpetration and emotional (but not physical) dating violence victimization at Time 2. Parental support was not significantly related to dating violence in any model. Implications for dating violence curriculum and future research are addressed.
