Parent racial socialization was assessed using yes or no answers to questions related to socialization practice in a family. Results indicated that no differences between father’s and mother’s racial socialization of all subjects. Based on ethnicity, there were significant dif- ferences which Malay Malaysia parents have highest score emphasizing racial pride and promotion of mistrust for their children. Implication will be discussed.
