Impact of Racial Identity on African American Child-Rearing Beliefs

Northeastern Illinois University

This study explores the impact of racial identity attitudes on African American parents’ child-rearing beliefs. Specifically, the study seeks to understand differences on family ties, discipline, independence, obedience, and religion according to racial identity attitudes. Participants were 104 parents who were administered the Black Parental Attitude Scale and the Racial Identity Attitude Scale. Results indicate that parents with immersion attitudes endorse discipline and religion but do not support independence in children. Parents with internalization attitudes support all of the Afrocentric parenting beliefs and child-rearing practices included in the study, such as cleanliness, family ties, obedience, religion, and independence in children.
