School ethnic–racial socialization and adolescent ethnic–racial identity.

Conclusions: The findings highlight the importance of the school context in shaping students’ ethnic–racial socialization and identity. This study investigated how what adolescents learn about race/ethnicity and culture in school is associated with their ERI. The findings indicate that opportunities to learn about one’s culture are related to more identity exploration and greater sense of the importance of group membership. Furthermore, opportunities to learn about other cultures promote positive attitudes toward people of different races/ethnicities. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved)
