- Abstract
- In a sample of 429 African American youth and their parents, I examined the relationships among parents’ racial stereotype endorsement, students’ 7th grade stereotypes, and students’ 10th grade self-concept. The results showed that parents’ beliefs did not predict youths’ beliefs. However, with school English grades controlled, boys in 7th grade with a more positive perception of Blacks’ verbal abilities had higher verbal self-concept in 10th grade, and boys with a more positive perception of Whites’ verbal abilities had lower verbal self-concept in 10th grade. The results of this study provide evidence for longitudinal effects of racial academic stereotype endorsement on self-concept and the negative impact that racial stereotypes can have on self-concept. Enhancing Black students’ beliefs and increasing their perception of in-group competency may result in self-concept and academic identity development improvement.
