Family cultural socialization in childhood: Navigating ethnic/racial diversity and numeric marginalization in school and neighborhood settings.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

This study investigated the role of ethnic/racial composition in schools and neighborhoods in (a) predicting family cultural socialization and (b) moderating the relation between family cultural socialization and young children's social competence over time.

Method

Two nationally representative, longitudinal samples were used from the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, Kindergarten Class of 1998-99 and 2010-11 cohorts. The analytic sample included 11,870 ethnic/racial minority children (mean age was 5.66 years old at Wave 1; 50% female; 31% Black, 49% Latinx, 18% Asian American, 2% Native American).

Results

Path analyses showed that families practiced more cultural socialization in more diverse schools and neighborhoods. Moreover, family cultural socialization was most beneficial for children's social competence when they were in diverse settings with few coethnics.

Conclusions

The results highlighted cultural socialization as a tool that ethnic/racial minority families use to help their children navigate ethnic/racial diversity and numeric marginalization in social settings. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved).

Project description:Social determinants of health, including neighborhood factors, play a key role in the health of diverse older adults. However, few longitudinal studies have examined the role of neighborhood racial/ethnic segregation on cognitive decline in diverse samples. We examined older non-Hispanic White (NHW), Black, and Latino participants evaluated at an Alzheimer's Disease Research Center. Neighborhood racial/ethnic segregation was measured using the Getis-Ord Gi* statistic, a spatial measure of clustering that was created for Latino and Black clustering separately. Cognitive outcomes included episodic memory, semantic memory, and executive function. We used mixed effects multivariable regression models to evaluate associations between segregation and cognitive function and decline. We had 452 individuals: 46% NHW, 26% Black, and 21% Latino in 309 census tracts with an average of 5.2 years of follow-up data (range 0.6-15.0). In analyses that adjusted for a variety of covariates (including neighborhood SES), individuals in neighborhoods with a higher clustering of Latino residents (higher Gi* statistic) had slower declines over time on semantic memory and those in neighborhoods with a higher clustering of Black residents had slower declines over time on episodic memory. In race/ethnicity-stratified adjusted analyses: for Black participants, the association between clustering and cognition was present for episodic memory and executive function, showing lower baseline scores in highly clustered Black and Latino neighborhoods, respectively. There was no association with cognitive change. Among Latino participants, highly clustered Latino neighborhoods were associated with lower baseline scores in semantic memory, but slower declines in episodic memory; Latinos living in neighborhoods with a greater clustering of Black residents also had slower declines in episodic memory. Among NHWs, residing in neighborhoods with a higher clustering of Latino residents was associated with slower declines over time on semantic memory. Segregated neighborhoods may be differentially associated with cognitive outcomes depending on individual race/ethnicity.
