情感知识（EK）是一套可塑的技能，是儿童早期社会互动和学业成功的核心。目前的研究描述了一种反种族主义的方法，以适应一种EK测量方法，该测量方法评估了在大城市学区参加学前教育（pre-K）课程的有色人种幼儿的面部表情知识在生态学上的有效性。这种方法包括(1)在选择视觉刺激时注意种族/民族，(2)确保适当的翻译和管理语言，以及(3)探索该措施在种族，民族和语言多样化的儿童群体中的功能。共有235名儿童（67.4%为拉丁裔，14.1%为非拉丁裔黑人，7.1%为非拉丁裔白人，7.8%为亚洲人，3.6%为其他种族/族裔）在学前班（平均年龄= 4.4岁）的秋季接受了英语（74%）或西班牙语（26%）的评估。英语和西班牙语版本似乎都具有相似的可靠性，尽管用西班牙语管理的准确性水平较低。在种族/民族群体或男孩与女孩之间，平均准确率得分没有差异。这项研究有助于促进情感科学中反种族主义研究所必需的文献的增长。
Emotion knowledge (EK) is a malleable set of skills that is central to social interactions and school success during early childhood. The current study describes an anti-racist approach to adapting an EK measure that assesses knowledge of facial expressions to be ecologically valid for young children of color attending pre-Kindergarten (pre-K) programs in a large urban school district. This approach involved (1) attending to race/ethnicity in selection of visual stimuli, (2) ensuring appropriate translation and language for administration, and (3) exploring the functioning of the measure within a racially, ethnically, and linguistically diverse group of children. A total of 235 children (67.4% Latinx, 14.1% non-Latinx Black, 7.1% non-Latinx White, 7.8% Asian, 3.6% another racial/ethnicity) were assessed in English (74%) or Spanish (26%) during the fall of pre-K (mean age = 4.4). Both English and Spanish versions appear to have similar reliability, although accuracy levels were lower when administered in Spanish. No differences in mean accuracy scores were found across racial/ethnic groups or for boys versus girls. This study contributes to the growing literature necessary to advance anti-racist research in affective science.
