Objectives: Survey data of 155 Midwestern African American adolescents (Mage = 13.25, 54.8% female) and their parents were assessed to examine whether parents' racial discrimination experiences and adolescents' gender moderated the association between adolescents' racial discrimination experiences and involved-vigilant parenting.
Methods: Path analyses were conducted with racial discrimination and gender at Wave 1 predicting parenting at Wave 2, controlling for Wave 1 parenting and demographic variables.
Results: Boys with high levels of racial discrimination experiences and who had parents with low racial discrimination experiences had declines in involved-vigilant parenting. There were no significant differences in involved-vigilant parenting by level of racial discrimination experience among girls.
Conclusions: The results indicate that parenting may depend on both parents' and adolescents' racial discrimination experiences and characteristics. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2020 APA, all rights reserved).
