Abstract
Using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, collected annually from 1979–1992, the objective of this study was to examine which factors over the life course contribute to African American males’ personal sense of mastery. For the analysis on adult mastery, Ss were 892 African American males (aged 14–18 yrs in 1979 and 27–31 yrs in 1992). The Pearlin Mastery Scale was employed for the analysis. Independent variables were divided into adolescent background (poverty, parental education, religious attendance, region of origin), adolescent self-concept (self-esteem, educational aspirations), and adult achievement (educational attainment, earnings). Although adolescent poverty does not appear to hamper the adult mastery of African American men, results show that consequential adolescent variables are parental educational attainment, region of origin, self-esteem, and educational aspirations. The analysis also suggests that current adult achievement is also a significant determinant of adult mastery in African American males. Findings indicate that, despite the absence of economic and interpersonal resources in adolescence, African American males may be able to compensate for such deprivation through individual achievement—which directly affects personal mastery.
