Abstract
  • Through the process model of PVEST, this study sought to deepen the understanding of how Africentric coping identities (e.g., communal value) might strengthen or thwart the relationship between racialized parenting and Black youth’s educational attainment. This study used the Black subsample of data from the Maryland Adolescent Development in Context Study (MADICS) (n = 775). The data were analyzed through three path models, for the full sample, for girls, and for boys, using full-information maximum likelihood (FIML) methods for missing data. The findings of the current study overall suggest that communal value might have a positive influence on the educational attainment of Black youth. Racial socialization, and specifically cultural socialization, might compensate for a low communal value orientation amongst Black youth to promote educational attainment. For boys, the buffering effect of cultural socialization against low communal value might suggest that racial socialization is compensating for the individualism that can be entrenched in gender socialization for boys. When accounting for control variables, the effects of racial socialization and communal value went away for the full sample and for boys. Thus, these associations might be contingent upon factors such as prior achievement and household income. Girls had a higher average communal value orientation than boys, however, communal value had no direct or moderating influence on their educational attainment. Research, policy, and practices implications are presented for family-school-community partnerships that promote the positive development of Black youth.
