“…Contrary to our hypotheses, teacher discrimination was not associated with higher school discipline for Caribbean Black girls. Research indicates that African-American and Caribbean Black adolescents may perceive discrimination differently due to racial socialization and the variations in messages they receive from their family [67]. Since economic and educational opportunities stem from an individual's racial identity in the United States, Americans believe racial group membership holds great significance [68].…”

This study examined the impact of perceived teacher discrimination on the school discipline of African-American and Caribbean Black adolescent girls. The findings are drawn from a nationally representative sample of (n = 410) African-American and (n = 193) Caribbean Black adolescent girls age 13 to 17 (Mage = 15). Results indicate that perceiving discrimination from teachers was associated with higher school discipline (e.g., suspension, expulsion, and spending time in a jail, detention center) for African-American girls. For Caribbean Black girls, higher household income and school bonding was associated with lower school discipline. Older Caribbean Black girls were also more likely to receive higher school discipline. However, perceiving discrimination from teachers was not associated with school discipline for Caribbean Black girls. The developmental significance and implications for future research are discussed.

“…Because country and culture-of-origin can contribute to variations in manifestations of discrimination, stress, and coping (Georgiades, Boyle, & Duku, 2007; Rong & Brown, 2002), such differences are expected between African Americans and African Caribbeans. The current study used data from the National Survey of American Life-Adult (NSAL) database and multiple group structural equation modeling (1) to investigate the process through which perceived everyday discrimination affects lifetime and recent substance use, and (2) to assess whether the mediated model is moderated by ethnicity.…”

Perceived discrimination is an important health-related stressor. As suggested by the stress-coping model, substance use often serves as a means to reduce the negative effects of perceived discrimination. This study uses data from the National Survey of American Life-Adults to examine the structural relationship of perceived discrimination and depressive symptoms with lifetime and recent substance use among African American and African Caribbean young adults. Respondents (N = 1,910) were18–35 years old. Compared with African Caribbeans, African Americans report significantly higher levels of depressive symptoms and both lifetime and recent substance use. Multiple-group structural equation modeling is used to evaluate model fit and test hypothesized models. Results show good fit of the hypothesized models in both African Americans and African Caribbeans. Full measurement and structural invariance is found across ethnicity. Mediation models explain 18.5% and 47.4% of the variance in lifetime substance use for African Americans and African Caribbeans, respectively, and 23.5% and 35.0% of the variance in recent substance use for African Americans and African Caribbeans, respectively. Mediation tests indicate depressive symptoms partially mediate the relationship between perceived discrimination and lifetime substance use and fully mediated this relationship for recent substance use. This study is the first to demonstrate a positive association between perceived racial discrimination and substance use among African Caribbean young adults. Study findings illuminate the influence of perceived discrimination on substance use and the mechanisms of this relationship among African American and African Caribbean young adults.

“…49 Although distinctions in education between students from native and non-native families have been identified, the little available evidence to characterize the distinctions also suggests that the contrasts are hard to stereotype, rapidly evolving, and under-studied. 50 Generalizations about students from foreign-born versus US-born families may be misleading because of cultural differences among foreign-born immigrants from different places of origin, family structures, and socioeconomic circimstances. 44 …”

Objective To identify modifiable facilitation strategies (exposures) during high school that are associated with motivation for minority youth pursuit of health science. Methods A sample (N = 116) of minority (73% African American/Black, 21% Hispanic/Latino) 12th graders from 6 high schools in a lower socioeconomic area bordering Washington, DC completed a self-administered survey. Path modeling was used to examine whether: 1) exposures: high school science courses, extra-curricular science activities, personal health experiences, and adult encouragement predict Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) constructs including Attitude, Subjective Norm, and Perceived Behavioral Control, and 2) TPB constructs predict the outcome of Intent to pursue college health science. Results The path model indicated that adult encouragement was associated with Attitude (p < .001), Subjective Norm (p < .001), and Perceived Behavioral Control (p < .001); and personal health experiences were associated with Attitude (p < .001). Attitude and Subjective Norm were associated with Intent (p < .001). Conclusion Motivating minority high schoolers from low socioeconomic areas through adult encouragement and personal health experiences to value health scientists and to perceive that others support their pursuit of health science may be pathways for facilitating their intention to pursue college health science.
