Abstract
- This descriptive, exploratory, sequential mixed-methods study investigated youths' articulations about racism via an open-ended survey question, and the extent to which these articulations differed based on youths' demographic characteristics. This study included 384 youth who identified as African American (n = 98), Latinx/o/Hispanic (n = 74), Asian/Pacific Islander (n = 52), Multiracial (n = 38), Native American (n = 20), and White (n = 100). Youth were between 14 and 18 years of age (M age = 16.66, SD = 1.28) and were primarily cisgender girls (51.3%) followed by cisgender boys (44.5%) and transgender (4.2%) youth. Thematic analysis was used to analyze youths' responses, finding that youth displayed an analysis of intrapersonal/interpersonal racism, structural racism, and color-evasive ideology. Cross-tabulation analysis revealed that youth from lower socioeconomic statues (SES) were more likely than higher SES youth to describe racism as an intrapersonal/interpersonal phenomenon, and girls and transgender youth were more likely than boys to express a structural analysis of racism. Study findings suggest that youths' beliefs about racism are multidimensional and primarily characterize racism as an intrapersonal/interpersonal phenomenon. Results may be used to inform the development of youth programs that aim to discuss racism in critical ways. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
