Racial Discrimination and Stress Response
Sponsor: Western Kentucky University
Summary
The goal of this study is to learn about whether ethnic minority adolescents' racial discrimination experience is related to dysregulated biological responses to subtle racism, and how the relationship may be attenuated or exacerbated by a set of social and cognitive factors. The main questions it aims to answer are: * to reveal the relationship between racial discrimination experiences and ethnic minority adolescents' stress response to subtle racism * to test parental ethnic-racial socialization, children's attribution to subtle racism and their racial identity as potential risk and protective factors.

peer rejection task, conversation about peer rejection, and impossible puzzle task
Peer rejection task: Adolescents will be informed that two peers will take turns to choose who they will chat with for different topics.

In reality, White peers are computerized avatars and whether or not adolescents are chosen by those peers is programmed with PsychoPy software. Conversation about peer rejection: parents and adolescents will discuss the peer rejection task guided with suggested question prompts. Impossible puzzle task: Adolescents will be asked to fit all puzzle pieces into a wooden frame with a wrong piece provided.
