The present study explores the ways Black/African American emerging adult college students (ages 18–20) and their caregivers engage in racial-ethnic socialization via mobile communication technologies, within the context of a minority-serving 4 year university in the Southeastern US. Qualitative integrative analysis of focus groups ( N = 12 Black/African American emerging adults, 67% female, 33% male) and text message content analysis ( N = 11 emerging adults and their 12 caregivers; 82% female, 9% male; 9% undisclosed gender identity) enabled us to understand emerging adults’ subjective experiences of digital RES alongside objective observation of digital RES within the content of all caregiver-emerging adult text messages exchanged over the course of 3 months. Findings suggest that digital racial-ethnic socialization messages are infrequent and largely implicit, that caregivers and emerging adults flexibly cross between social networks and digital platforms to communicate, and that one unique affordance of digital communication is the ability for caregivers and emerging adults to engage in support seeking and provision in real-time. The present study informs future research on how cultural transmission can continue across distance and development with the use of modern communication technologies.

Sparse knowledge has been accumulated thus far on youth mentorship from the perspective of gender and the contribution of such relationships between young women and girls. What is more, leadership development programs barely refer to gender uniformity in mentor relations as a key toward meeting their goals. The objective of the present article is to shed light on woman-teenage girl mentor bonds in leadership development frameworks. To this end, I conducted an ethnographic study of the Hebrew Scouts Youth Movement—a co-ed framework abounding in mentorships. As per my findings, three strategies adopted by female mentors helped their disciples navigate leadership duties in real time and persuaded them to compete for senior positions within the troop: furnishing personal examples; conveying awareness of the difficulties that serving as a leader within the movement entails; and protection-cum-advocacy on behalf of their charges. The study enhances our comprehension of leadership socialization and the power that these ties impart to the girls qua leaders.

An integral change that occurs during adolescence is the development of independent close relationships outside of the immediate family unit. In addition to relationships with peers, adolescents are commonly engaged in natural mentoring relationships. Natural mentoring relationships are organically formed mentoring bonds between youth and adults in their pre-existing social networks. In an effort to better uncover factors that contribute to the development of natural mentoring relationships among Black adolescents, the current study examined a pathway between adolescents’ attachment to their parents and the quantity of natural mentors they possessed via their perceptions of adults as helpful. Survey data from 217 Black adolescents and interview data from a subsample of participants ( n = 25) and their parents ( n = 25) were utilized. Our findings document how parent-adolescent attachment is experienced among Black families and how attachment may shape adolescents’ willingness to pursue supportive relationships with non-parental adults. In addition, our findings indicate that more secure parent-adolescent attachment predict greater quantity of natural mentoring relationships indirectly via greater perceptions of adults as helpful. Implications of study findings for the promotion of natural mentoring relationships among Black youth are discussed.

Youth narratives of love are shaped by romantic experiences through observation of others’ romantic relationships, and by media commonly conveying romantic beliefs. Since past reports have linked romantic beliefs to dating violence (DV), studies need to explore narratives of love by youth who report DV victimization experiences to identify specific targets to address in DV prevention programs. This qualitative study explored the narratives of love by heterosexual youth and documented specific features according to their DV victimization experiences. Directed content analysis guided the analyses of semi-structured interviews of 82 participants aged 15 to 24 years ( M = 19.4; SD = 2.1). Most participants were cisgender females (75.6%) born in Canada to Canadian-born parents (54.6%). Four polarized narratives of love emerged: (1) Growing love versus love at first sight, (2) Completive versus fusional love, (3) Lucid versus triumphant love, and (4) Ongoing versus eternal love. Both participants who reported experiencing DV victimization, and those who did not, expressed non-romantic and romantic beliefs, although they used different wording to convey similar beliefs in their narratives. These findings underscore the importance of challenging the dominant romantic beliefs that may place youth at risk of experiencing DV and therefore contribute to DV prevention.

Despite the recent increase in the study of critical consciousness among racially minoritized youth, the process by which youth analyze social issues and their root causes (i.e., critical social analysis) remains obscure. In the current study, we examined youth’s process of critical social analysis and identified factors that contributed to this process. Participants were 14 Black and Latinx high school students in a Midwestern city who were presented with vignettes of high school students experiencing social issues that occur in urban communities. Participants discussed, via interviews, the causes of social issues highlighted in the vignettes and factors that influenced their perspectives. Findings suggest that adolescents consider both individual and systemic factors across the ecological system as contributors to social issues, but also consider individual attributions in the context of opportunities for learning and redemption. Further, youth’s perspectives were influenced by adults as well as youth’s ability to engage in perspective taking and empathy. Findings highlight the importance of moving away from an emphasis on binary explanations for social issues as well as using more humanizing approaches to teach youth to engage in critical social analysis.

Romantic relationships can positively affect adolescent development. However, adolescents may not always have a clear understanding of what healthy dating looks like, which may place some adolescents at risk for dating violence. The present study examined the following research questions: (1) What are adolescents' perceptions of healthy and unhealthy attributes of romantic relationships? (2) How do adolescents perceive jealousy and potentially controlling behaviors? (3) What is the relationship between adolescents' attitudes towards jealousy and controlling behaviors and their willingness to intervene in a peer's unhealthy romantic relationship? The study included a predominantly female, ethnically diverse sample of 72 adolescents (M = 17.5 years) who participated in an internet-based health promotion intervention that allowed peers and health educators to interact. Adolescents commented on message boards and completed a survey. Findings showed that adolescents can articulate both healthy and unhealthy romantic relationship attributes. Some adolescents struggled to understand relationship attributes including jealousy and possessiveness, as these behaviors can be perceived as expressions of strong romantic interest. Adolescents may benefit from programs that strengthen healthy dating behaviors, teach youth to distinguish healthy from unhealthy behaviors, address conflict in respectful ways, and tactfully intervene when they witness abusive behaviors in the relationships of others.

A community-based qualitative study identified multilevel influences on sleep duration, quality, and timing in 10 to 12-year-old Latino pre-adolescents via 11 focus groups with 46 children and 15 interviews with parents. An iterative content analysis revealed three themes negatively and positively impacted sleep: (1) Individual-level; (2) Social-level; and (3) Environmental-level influences. At the individual level, use of technology (e.g., phones), activity levels (e.g., sitting all day), dietary intake (e.g., junk food) and emotions (e.g., stress/anxiety) were reported to impact children’s sleep. Social-level influences included interactions with peers and family members as well as time hanging out and arguing/fighting. Environmental-level influences were living in home and neighborhood settings with certain sounds (e.g., soothing music), uncomfortable temperatures, and items/things (e.g., stuffed animal) in the sleeping area. Parent reports indicated that some factors at each level were exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Findings that influences at various levels interacted to impact sleep illustrate the need to simultaneously account for multiple levels of influence to best inform intervention development. Thus, application of social ecological models of behavior change to interventions may enhance sleep duration, quality, and timing among Latino pre-adolescents, as these models account for single as well as interacting influences to explain behavior.

Using a longitudinal mixed methods approach, this study examined Chinese American youth’s experiences and coping with racial discrimination. Participants included 25 second-generation Chinese American youth who participated in an 8-year, three-wave longitudinal study. The participants’ average age at Time 1 was 15.5 years. Participants were interviewed with open-ended questions about their experiences of discrimination growing up. In addition, quantitative survey data were collected to examine associations between youth’s ethnic identity, acculturation, cultural values, coping, and discrimination stress. The interview transcripts were analyzed using thematic analysis. Qualitative responses were coded and quantitative data were analyzed using independent sample t-tests. The participants reported both overt and covert experiences of racial discrimination. Despite facing racial discrimination, many Asian American youth chose to cope in culturally congruent ways that are consistent with their cultural values. Our findings provide new evidence that discrimination distress is linked to negative psychosocial outcomes, lower ethnic identity, and less recognition of heritage culture. Furthermore, our results suggest that culturally congruent coping strategies labeled as maladaptive in North American culture could be adaptive for Chinese American youth against discrimination distress. Study findings have implications for culturally responsive services and practices to support Chinese American youth to succesfully cope with racial discrimination.

Despite efforts to increase diversity in STEM fields, marginalized populations—particularly women and Black and Latinx workers—remain underrepresented in STEM professions. The present qualitative study sought to explore the relationship between sense of purpose and STEM engagement within an after-school, experiential (i.e., involving hands-on learning) STEM enrichment program, called Change Makers. Specifically, semi-structured interviews with racially diverse and predominantly low SES high school students ( N = 13, 30.8% self-identified female) and their program instructors ( N = 3, 66% self-identified female) were qualitatively analyzed using a grounded theory-informed approach. Results indicate that engagement in Change Makers contributed to youth transforming their preexisting STEM interest into three purpose-related constructs: (1) self-efficacy experiences (general and specific to science), (2) increased willingness to engage in career exploration, and (3) deepened prosocial motivation. These findings underscore the value of connecting youth with experiential purpose curriculum to improve the STEM career pipeline. Finally, these findings represent insightful perspectives regarding the mutable nature of purpose development. Limitations are discussed and recommendations are made for future research and programing.

The inclusion of youth voices in research relating to their own daily environments, wellbeing, and development is increasingly recognized as essential to ensuring rigor and success in mobilizing community change. Few studies have qualitatively examined youths’ experiences and perceptions in participatory roles. This paper presents insights and lessons learned from a capacity-building program designed and delivered as part of a youth participatory research project, Teens Talk Vaping. Teens Talk Vaping took a by-youth-for-youth research approach to co-produce research about teen vaping to inform evidence-based vaping education materials. The capacity-building program was developed to equip seven teens from the Human Environments Analysis Laboratory Youth Advisory Council (four teen girls, three teen boys; Mage: 17.3) with qualitative research skills to contribute as “teen co-researchers” to all phases of the project, from conceptualization through to dissemination. The teen co-researchers were interviewed at four key phases of the program: qualitative research principles and approaches, data collection, data analysis, and overall reflections. Using thematic analysis, findings revealed the positive implications and practical limitations of the capacity-building program, which may support other academics engaging in participatory methodologies with youth and contribute toward the improvement and enrichment of participatory research opportunities for youth.
