Research on adult perceptions of biracial targets suggests there are social consequences tied to how they choose to identify. For instance, while people with biracial ancestry can identify as biracial or monoracial, adults perceive individuals with biracial ancestry who identify as monoracial (versus biracial) as less trustworthy and less likable¹. Although research on children’s perceptions of race found that children do attend to race when working or playing², not much is known about children’s perceptions of biracial identity claims. The current study intends to add to the literature on how children perceive biracial children’s identity claims. Children ages 4-11 years old were recruited to participate in a within-subjects design where they responded to 9 trials that crossed all possibilities of the target child’s race (Black, White, or biracial) with the target child’s racial identity claim (Black, White, or biracial). For each trial, participants responded whether it is OK or Not OK for the target child to make the identity claim they provided. On the final trial, participants gave a verbal response for their rationale behind their decision. Participant demographic data (such as their age, race, and peer group racial makeup) was also collected to examine other factors that may influence participants’ perceptions. Preliminary results suggest that children find it more acceptable for biracial children to claim a White racial identity (versus a Black or biracial identity). Additional data analysis is being conducted to investigate whether this finding is influenced by factors such as the participant’s age, the participant’s race, and/or the racial makeup of the participants’ peers. These preliminary findings suggest that children perceive biracial children’s White racial identity claims as more acceptable than other identity claims and provide possible directions for continued research on children’s perceptions of biracial identities.
