Recent research questions whether children conceptualize race as stable. We examined participants’ beliefs about the relative stability of race and emotion, a temporary feature. Participants were White adults and children ages 5–6 and 9–10 (Study 1) and racial minority children ages 5–6 (Study 2). Participants were presented with target children who were happy or angry and Black or White and were asked to indicate which of 2 adults (a race but not emotion match or an emotion but not race match) each child would grow up to be. White adults, White 9-to 10-year-olds, and racial minority 5-to 6-year-olds selected race matches, whereas White 5-to 6-year-olds selected race and emotion matches equally. These data suggest that beliefs about racial stability vary by age and social group.(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved)
