“…For instance, Diemer and Blustein () found that urban adolescents’ critical consciousness was significantly associated with participants’ work role salience and connection to a vocational future. Diemer et al () also found that for 10th‐ and 12th‐grade low‐income adolescents from Hispanic, African American, Asian, and Native American backgrounds, parental support and student race relations were predictive of sociopolitical development.…”

“…Through a series of studies primarily using structural equation modeling (SEM), Diemer and his colleagues (Diemer, , ; Diemer & Blustein, ; Diemer & Hseigh, ; Diemer et al., ; Diemer, Kauffman, Koenig, Trahan, & Hsieh, ; Diemer et al., ; Diemer & Li, ) have demonstrated how sociopolitical development, primarily among minority adolescents from low SES backgrounds in the United States, is related to parental support, peer relations, school characteristics, academic achievement, previous community participation, and connections to a future career. For instance, Diemer and Blustein () found that urban adolescents’ critical consciousness was significantly associated with participants’ work role salience and connection to a vocational future.…”

A mixed methods approach was used to explore dimensions of sociopolitical development of youth in El Salvador. Photovoice was used to engage 2 groups of adolescents from a rural village to document and discuss their community. Using previous theory and models of sociopolitical development as a guide, themes were identified to inform the development of a quantitative measure we call sociopolitical consciousness. New and preexisting items were combined to create a measure that reflected the themes from the qualitative data. The resulting measure was completed by 682 Salvadoran high school students across 3 different community contexts; 7 factors were subsequently identified representing both individual and collective dimensions of sociopolitical consciousness. The study demonstrates how a contextualized research process can facilitate a synergy between the emic and etic dimensions of sociopolitical development.

“…Career counselors are positioned to facilitate discussions about race relations, opportunity, and oppression and involve not only youth but also members of their reference groups. Furthermore, counselors can engage youth from the level of sociopolitical involvement and incorporate methods that promote “a healthy sense of self and feeling empowered to exercise one's agency in the context of structural oppression” (Diemer, Hsieh, & Pan, 2009, p. 318). If counselors give detained youth the opportunities to express their voice and choice in their vocational development, vocational programming could produce multiple positive outcomes.…”

“…Although most of the youth's experience in detention is designed to be devoid of voice , vocational training is an area that is suited to allow youth choice , by providing them the ability to identify their own interests and apply their own strengths. It can also assist them in adopting healthy decision‐making processes that might lead to better choices in the future (Diemer et al, 2009). Lastly, the theory of sociopolitical development may be used as a backdrop to develop interventions to help detained youth not only combat the negative stereotypes that they may face as they return to their communities with criminal records but also become agents of positive change in their reference groups and larger community.…”

Given high recidivism rates and the vulnerability of detained youth, the authors posit that juvenile detention centers may be most efficacious by serving as both place and process to create career opportunity through vocational training. The authors review the psychosocial factors contributing to delinquency and the primary theories of rehabilitation that extend to detained youth. They highlight key ingredients to effective vocational programming in juvenile detention, such as integration of traditional career theories with constructs pertinent to this population (emerging adulthood, sociopolitical development, social cognitive career theory). Considerations for successful implementation of vocational programs in juvenile detention are also offered.

“…Very few studies have empirically examined the relationship between critical reflection and action depicted in Freire’s theory of critical consciousness (Diemer, Hsieh, & Pan, ; Lozada, Jagers, Smith, Bañales, & Hope, ). Research, however, reveals that people were likely to commit to remedy injustice when they perceived some people as suffering a disadvantage considered to be illegitimate or unfair (Kelly & Breinlinger, ).…”

Liberating and Empowering Effects of Critical Reflection on Collective Action in LGBT and Cisgender Heterosexual Individuals

Critical consciousness represents the transformation from a passive target of oppression to an active actor with an increased capacity to analyze and negotiate conditions of oppression. It is considered as an antidote for oppression that can liberate people from oppressive ideologies and empower them to resist social injustice. Building on the theory of critical consciousness and the Social Identity Model of Collective Action, this paper examined the liberating and empowering effects of critical reflection on collective action for minority rights. Results of a cross‐sectional study in 1,050 LGBT individuals (Study 1) showed that critical reflection was associated with lower levels of internalized oppression and higher levels of collective efficacy, which in turn were associated with greater intentions to undertake collective action for LGBT rights. Findings from a prospective longitudinal study in 428 cisgender heterosexual individuals (Study 2) indicated that critical reflection was associated with lower levels of internalized domination and heightened levels of efficacious beliefs, which positively predicted actual participation in collective action at a subsequent wave. The findings supported the effects of critical reflection on collective action mobilization and offered leads for future research and praxis on how to orient different sectors of society to work toward social equity.
