An Integrative Model for the Study of Developmental Competencies in Minority Children
Abstract
In this article a conceptual model for the study of child development in minority populations in the United States is proposed. In support of the proposed model, this article includes (a) a delineation and critical analysis of mainstream theoretical frameworks in relation to their attention and applicability to the understanding of developmental processes in children of color and of issues at the intersection of social class, culture, ethnicity, and race, and (b) a description and evaluation of the conceptual frameworks that have guided the extant literature on minority children and families. Based on the above considerations, an integrative conceptual model of child development is presented, anchored within social stratification theory, emphasizing the importance of racism, prejudice, discrimination, oppression, and segregation on the development of minority children and families.

Numerous theoretical models put forth over the past decades have offered foundations for studying resistance to oppression among BIPOC youth, highlighting the ways in which this developmental construct can be adaptive and protective, and is incorporated into one's identity.
“Numerous theoretical models put forth over the past decades (Diemer et al., 2017; Garcia‐Coll et al., 1996; Spencer, 2006) have offered foundations for studying resistance to oppression among BIPOC youth, highlighting the ways in which this developmental construct can be adaptive and protective, and is incorporated into one’s identity.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
