Family, Parenting, and Socialization

This theme focuses on parenting, family socialization, parental aspirations, ethnic-racial socialization, and the ways families shape young people’s identity, motivation, and adjustment.

This theme studies how families shape young people’s motivation, identity, aspirations, and adjustment. It includes work on parental aspirations, parental grit, parent inferences about student self-concepts, ethnic-racial socialization, and parenting-related wellbeing.

Several publications also connect family processes with systematic reviews, cross-cultural psychology, and social-emotional outcomes.
