Jr, J. O. (2018). \u201cExpressive cool\u201d and the paradox of black and white males\u2019 neighborhood socialization toward education. Youth and Society, <\/i>50<\/i>(3), 299-327.<\/p>\n
This study explores how linkages between adolescents\u2019 educational attitudes and achievement vary according to race, expressive culture, and neighborhood collective socialization qualities. Specifically, the study examines (a) racial differences in how males\u2019 educational attitudes relate to their academic performance (i.e., \u201cattitude\u2013achievement paradox\u201d); (b) how the attitude\u2013achievement paradox varies according to Black and White males\u2019 expressive culture; and (c) the relation of collective socialization to racial differences in expressive cool, educational attitudes, and behavior. Using Maryland Adolescent Development in Context Study (MADICS) data, I find that an attitude\u2013achievement paradox among African Americans disappears when neighborhood collective socialization is considered; that expressive cool seems to have a stronger connection to adolescents\u2019 achievement ideology rejection, and very little to their grade point average (GPA); and that neighborhood collective socialization decisively accounts for racial gaps in GPA. The concluding discussion considers why African Americans\u2019 adherence to achievement ideologies fails to shield their GPAs from neighborhood socialization risks to the extent it does so for White males.<\/p>\n
