Answer to Question 1

1. Well-developed racial identity. Children embrace racial and ethnic pride, history, and cultural traditions.
2. Heightened self-esteem. Children's and adolescents' self-esteem is sensitive to the racial/ethnic messages they receive from their parents. Children who are taught to blend with mainstream culture have lower levels of self-esteem because they in some ways deny their heritage.
3. Higher academic functioning. Positive ethnic identity and high self-esteem are associated with better academic outcomes and higher levels of motivation among children and adolescents.
4. Decreased levels of depression and anger. The practice of cultural socialization is protective against racial discrimination because children and adolescents develop coping and problem-solving strategies to help buffer racism and deal with prejudice.
