DeBerry, Kimberly M.; And Others
Child Development, v67 n5 p2375-99 Oct 1996
Examined family racial socialization and ecological competence during childhood and adolescence in a sample of 88 African-American transracial adoptees and their families. Longitudinal path analyses indicated that Eurocentric reference group orientation (RGO) increased over time while Africentric RGO declined for the adoptees, and maladjustment increased as they approached adulthood.
