Austin JL, Jeffries EF, Winston W, et al. - Via performing this study including participants recruited from an urban school and youth club (N = 75, mean age=11.6, 71% male participants), researchers investigated if race-related stressors (awareness and experiences of racism) and resources for resilience (racial-ethnic connectedness and perceptions of embedded achievement) were linked with emotional health, conduct problems, and academic investment among African American early adolescents. Embedded achievement is the belief that achievement is a part of one’s racial or ethnic group identity. After adjusting for age and gender, they identified correlation of racial-ethnic connectedness and embedded achievement with less emotional problems and conduct problems. Furthermore, association was observed between embedded achievement and greater academic investment. Overall findings suggest that among African American youth, race-related resources for resilience promote emotional, behavioral, and academic well-being and confer protection when youth are confronted with the stress and adversity of racism. This provides support for advocating for policies and practices to combat racism and foster racial pride and connectedness among youth of color.
