Cambridge Handbooks In Psychology

A research handbook on how racial and ethnic discrimination shapes the development of young people.
Reading guide
This is a reference handbook, so readers can start with the opening chapters on theory and methods and then move to the chapters on the groups and life stages most relevant to their work.
The handbook opens by asking how ethnic and racial discrimination affects young people, then reviews the current science. It moves through foundational theories, empirical findings and multilevel methods, before turning to intervention strategies and future-facing approaches to research, policy and practice.

Description

This Cambridge University Press handbook brings together work from leading researchers on how ethnic and racial discrimination affects children, adolescents and young adults. The publisher notes that discriminatory interactions of this kind have harmful effects on young people's development, and the book sets out the current state of the science on that question.

The handbook covers foundational theories, empirical findings, multilevel methods and intervention strategies. Its chapters examine multiple ethnic and racial groups across the United States and internationally, looking at both shared and distinct experiences and at how race-related stressors affect youth outcomes. Throughout, it offers conceptual frameworks, methodological guidance and forward-looking strategies for research, policy and practice.
