This study examined the ethnic-racial compositions of mothers' mesosystems, operationalized using activity space methods, which capture the set of locations to which individuals are regularly exposed. For Aim 1, we used a person-centered approach to identify profiles of mothers differentiated by the ethnic-racial composition of the activity spaces they navigate. For Aim 2, we explored how identified mothers' activity space profiles predicted ethnic-racial socialization of their adolescents, including cultural socialization and preparation for bias.<h4>Method</h4>The sample included Latinx adolescents (<i>N</i> = 547; <i>M</i><sub>W1age</sub> = 13.31 years; 55.4% girls; 89.6% U.S. born) and their mothers (<i>n</i> = 271 at Wave 1) participating in the <i>Caminos</i> study in Atlanta, Georgia. The present study analyzed data from Wave 5 (2020) and Wave 6 (2020-2021).<h4>Results</h4>We identified four profiles of mothers' activity spaces, and these differentially predicted mothers' ethnic-racial socialization.<h4>Conclusions</h4>Moving beyond the examination of ethnic-racial socialization within singular microsystems (e.g., residential neighborhoods), this study indicates that day-to-day ethnic-racial exposures encountered by Latina mothers may influence how mothers socialize their adolescent children around issues of ethnicity and race.
