Preparation for bias messages (PFB), represent a specific form of racial socialization, used to inform youth about racism and how to cope with racism-related adversity. Although research commonly examines how frequently PFB are delivered to children, few studies have qualitatively explored the heterogeneity in the content of such messages, making it difficult to ascertain how caregivers prepare and coach their children to negotiate incidents of racism-related violence. To address this gap in the literature, the present study qualitatively examined the content of PFB given to Black children from their mothers following high-profile incidents of anti-Black violence. Semistructured interviews were conducted with 12 mothers (Mage = 41.91) of Black children to explore how parental concerns regarding their children's safety inform the content of their PFB. Using thematic analysis, two primary themes emerged. The first theme related to psychosocial factors among caregivers that precipitated PFB (i.e., awareness of anti-Black violence, worry about the child being a victim). The second theme pertained to the different types of PFB that caregivers provided to their children (i.e., awareness of racial biases, strategies to navigate discriminatory encounters). Overall findings support and extend extant racial socialization research and have important implications for how Black youth come to understand the significance of race and racism in the aftermath of racism-related violence.

对黑人母亲在种族主义相关暴力事件后对偏见信息的准备情况进行定性分析。

偏见信息准备（PFB）代表种族社会化的一种特定形式，用于向年轻人宣传种族主义以及如何应对与种族主义相关的逆境。尽管研究通常会调查向儿童传递 PFB 的频率，但很少有研究定性探讨此类信息内容的异质性，这使得很难确定看护者如何准备和指导他们的孩子来谈判与种族主义相关的暴力事件。为了解决文献中的这一空白，本研究定性地研究了在备受瞩目的反黑人暴力事件后，黑人儿童从母亲那里获得的 PFB 的内容。对 12 名黑人儿童的母亲（Mage = 41.91）进行了半结构化访谈，以探讨父母对孩子安全的担忧如何影响他们的 PFB 内容。通过主题分析，出现了两个主要主题。第一个主题与护理人员中导致 PFB 的心理社会因素有关（即对反黑人暴力的认识，担心孩子成为受害者）。第二个主题涉及照顾者向孩子提供的不同类型的 PFB（即，对种族偏见的认识、应对歧视遭遇的策略）。总体研究结果支持并扩展了现有的种族社会化研究，并对黑人青年如何在种族主义相关暴力之后理解种族和种族主义的重要性具有重要意义。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2023 APA，保留所有权利）。
