“…Ultimately, the goal of this feedback exchange within families is to attain homeostasis, or a state of equilibrium and stability in patterns of interaction despite stressors or pressures to change (Olson & McCubbin, 1983). Families are generally resistant to major changes in the system, exemplifying the system's tendency for homeostasis via negative feedback loops (Wittenborn et al, 2020); however, if a pressure to change is large enough, attainment of homeostasis may entail that the whole family system recalibrates itself to a new pattern of functioning better equipped to handle the stressor and regain stability (Baptist & Hamon, 2022).…”

As systems of oppression (e.g., racism) become more evident in public consciousness, Asian American families are grappling with critical discussions about social justice and oppression. To define and explore these increasingly common conversations, we propose critical consciousness socialization as an important construct for socialization research among Asian American families. Critical consciousness socialization is the transmission of knowledge about, skills for, and behavioral orientations toward analyzing and challenging systems of oppression in the interest of social justice. This article applies theories in the developmental and family sciences (Phenomenological Variant of Ecological Systems Theory and Family Systems Theory) to demonstrate future research directions for critical consciousness socialization among Asian American families. Given research suggesting that families are purveyors of information about social justice and power, research on critical consciousness socialization is important to explore the role of the family system in advancing—and actively participating in—movements towards social justice.
