Anti-racist efforts require talking with children about race. The present work tested the predictors of U.S. adults' (N = 441; 52% female; 32% BIPOC participants; M = 35 years) conversations about race with children across two timepoints in 2019. Approximately 60% of adult participants talked to their children (3-12 years) about race during the preceding week; only 29% talked to other adults about race during the same period. This paper describes the content and predictors of conversations about race, revealing how conversations differ depending on the participant's race, a child's age, and whether the conversation occurs with children or another adult. These data have important implications for theorizing about when, why, and how adults actually talk about race with children and adults.
反种族主义工作需要与儿童谈论种族问题。本研究在 2019 年的两个时间点上测试了美国成年人（N=441；52%为女性；32%为 BIPOC 参与者；M=35 岁）与儿童谈论种族的预测因素。大约 60%的成年参与者在过去一周内与他们的孩子（3-12 岁）谈论了种族问题；同期只有 29%的人与其他成年人谈论了种族问题。本文描述了关于种族的对话的内容和预测因素，揭示了对话如何因参与者的种族、孩子的年龄以及对话是与孩子还是与其他成年人进行而有所不同。这些数据对于理论化关于成年人何时、为何以及如何与儿童和成年人谈论种族问题具有重要意义。
