Abstract
Several studies have shared that an important part of many children's development of explicit
racial biases are influenced by the social context. Majority of our understanding about
development of social biases has been based on monoracial children. There are many
unanswered questions on the way being raised in a multiracial household may shape racial biases
in early childhood. We are developing a study that investigates race related biases in Multiracial
children. The study includes 3 measures of explicit racial bias and 1 implicit racial bias task.
Data will be collected over Zoom with children aged 4-8 years of age. For explicit biases we will
evaluate how much participants like someone of a different race, who children want to learn
novel information from, and who children prefer to socialize with. The implicit racial bias task
evaluates racial attitudes of positive and negative associations of White and Black faces. The
next step of this project is to pilot tasks with adults and children. This project is important
because to equip and support Multiracial children we must understand the changes and
development of racial biases in earlier stages of life. We anticipate, Multiracial children having
weaker racial bias.
