Chapter Seven Social Justice and the Environmental Commons
Publication date: 2016 Source:Advances in Child Development and Behavior, Volume 51 Author(s): Constance A. Flanagan, Rachel Byington, Erin Gallay, Allison Sambo In this chapter, we build on the scholarship on youth civic engagement by turning attention to the environmental commons as a space for political action. We begin with a definition of the term and arguments about ways that social justice is implied in it. Following that, we raise several psychological challenges to motivating action on behalf of the environmental commons and discuss the critical experiences and actions that can defy those challenges.

Chapter Six Power, Process, and Protection
Publication date: 2016 Source:Advances in Child Development and Behavior, Volume 51 Author(s): Jennifer L. Woolard, Kristin Henning, Erika Fountain The juvenile court was created in 1899 in part to remedy the unfairness of trying youth in the adult criminal justice system, but its success at rectifying those problems is unclear. One concern is that the vast majority of youth who are adjudicated delinquent are adjudicated after waiving their right to trial and entering a guilty plea. Fairness and equity in the plea bargaining process are premised on the assumption that youth have the capacity to understand and ele...

Chapter Five Children's Intergroup Relations and Attitudes
Publication date: 2016 Source:Advances in Child Development and Behavior, Volume 51 Author(s): Rebecca S. Bigler, John M. Rohrbach, Kiara L. Sanchez The existence of warm, intimate, supportive, and egalitarian relationships between members of differing social outgroups is likely, at the societal level, to facilitate cooperation and cohesion, and at the individual level, to promote positive social, educational, and occupational outcomes. The developmental pathway from intergroup contact to intergroup attitudes as it operates among children is not, however, well understood. In our chapter, we review and integrate s...

Chapter Four Social Exclusion Based on Group Membership is a Form of Prejudice
Publication date: 2016 Source:Advances in Child Development and Behavior, Volume 51 Author(s): Shelby Cooley, Laura Elenbaas, Melanie Killen Children around the world are affected by bias, prejudice, and discrimination. In this chapter, we argue that intergroup social exclusion—exclusion of peers on the basis of group membership—is a form of prejudice. As such, research efforts should be directed at uncovering the negative intergroup attitudes that sustain these behaviors, and encouraging the development of children's capacity to resist biases in favor of inclusion and just treatment of others. In order to in...

Chapter Three Helping Children Navigate a Diverse World
Publication date: 2016 Source:Advances in Child Development and Behavior, Volume 51 Author(s): Natasha Cabrera, Catherine Kuhns, Jenessa L. Malin, Daniela Aldoney We review the existing literature on how parents prepare their children to navigate an increasingly diverse world. In particular, we focus much of our attention on the ethnic–racial socialization practices and beliefs of ethnic minority and majority groups, as this area of the field is currently the most expounded. We begin by exploring the current and future demographic characteristics of the United States to better contextualize research on social...

Chapter Two Racism, Racial Resilience, and African American Youth Development
Publication date: 2016 Source:Advances in Child Development and Behavior, Volume 51 Author(s): Enrique W. Neblett, Effua E. Sosoo, Henry A. Willis, Donte L. Bernard, Jiwoon Bae, Janelle T. Billingsley Racism constitutes a significant risk to the healthy development of African American youth. Fortunately, however, not all youth who experience racism evidence negative developmental outcomes. In this chapter, we examine person-centered analysis (PCA)—a quantitative technique that investigates how variables combine across individuals—as a useful tool for elucidating racial and ethnic protective processes th...

Chapter One A Transactional/Ecological Perspective on Ethnic –Racial Identity, Socialization, and Discrimination
We describe what is known about how identity, socialization, and discrimination occur in four microsystems—families, peers, schools, and neighborhoods—and argue that focusing on specific characteristics of these microsystems in which particular types of identity, socialization, and discrimination processes cooccur would be informative.

Chapter Five Adults ’ Orientation of Children—And Children's Initiative to Pitch In—To Everyday Adult Activities in a Tsotsil Maya Community
Publication date: 2015 Source:Advances in Child Development and Behavior, Volume 49 Author(s): Margarita Martínez-Pérez This chapter examines how 2-year-old children attempt to actively participate in adult work in a Mayan community in Chiapas, Mexico, and how adults contribute and accommodate to the contributions.

Chapter One A Cultural Paradigm —Learning by Observing and Pitching In
Publication date: 2015 Source:Advances in Child Development and Behavior, Volume 49 Author(s): Barbara Rogoff, Rebeca Mejía-Arauz, Maricela Correa-Chávez We discuss Learning by Observing and Pitching In (LOPI) as a cultural paradigm that provides an interesting alternative to Assembly-Line Instruction for supporting children's learning. Although LOPI may occur in all communities, it appears to be especially prevalent in many Indigenous and Indigenous-heritage communities of the Americas. We explain key features of this paradigm, previewing the chapters of this volume, which examine LOPI as it occurs in the live...
