The Relation Of Racial Identity And Racial Socialization To Coping With Discrimination Among African American Adolescents

Lionel D. Scott, Jr.

Washington University in St. Louis

This study purposed to explore whether the strategies used by African American adolescents to cope with perceived discriminatory experiences were related to their racial identity and racial socialization. Results indicated that the degree to which race was central to participant's self-conceptions and identities was unrelated to both approach and avoidance coping strategies. In contrast, the frequency to which participants received socialization messages concerning racism from their parents and/or guardians was related to the use of approach coping strategies but unrelated to avoidance coping strategies. The importance of a more systematic focus on African American adolescent stress and coping is discussed.

Key Words: racial identity • racial socialization • discrimination • coping • African American adolescents
