Abstract
Parental ethnotheories dictate parenting practices. Measurement of parenting is routinely White-centered and neglects the sociopolitical history and cultural values of minoritized populations. The new observational rating, Active Direction, captures the strength of African American parenting values distinct from other cultural groups in the U.S.
