Abstract
Racial socialization has only just begun to be studied by family communication scholars. This study created and validated a racial socialization scale rooted in communication and demonstrated the endurance of racial socialization into adulthood. The scale centers communication in understanding the nature and effects of specific messages within the family. Racial socialization messages were associated with a host of outcomes (e.g., racially conscious action, trust in law enforcement, and management of stress stemming from racism). This study shows the importance of engaging in interdisciplinary research by connecting family communication to political and health outcomes. There are important implications for Black families and practitioners.
