Note. Caregivers were asked: “Now I would like you to think about things you may have done in the past year to teach your child about his/her ethnic/cultural background. Please tell me how much each of the following statements applies to you.” Response options: Not at all (1), A little (2), Sometimes (3), A lot (4), and Very much (5). Scale should be scored such that higher scores indicate caregivers’ greater engagement in cultural socialization behaviors with their children.
