Saturday, March 9, 2019 · Paris, France

Lifespan Development

Parents and peers prepare youth for the world by modeling behavior, providing support, and communicating values related to race, politics, and/or academics. In this symposium, we examine how these different types of socialization shape the social and emotional development of racial-ethnic minority and immigrant youth, enhancing strengths or identifying vulnerabilities.
