Using longitudinal data, this study investigated the association between parent racial colorblindness and discrimination toward children (reported by both parents and adolescents) in transracial, transnational adoptive families.
Eighty White adoptive parents with adopted Korean children (ages 5-12 years old) were surveyed in 2007 (Time 1 [T1]), and both parents and adolescents (ages 13-19 years old) were surveyed in 2014 (Time 2 [T2]). Parents completed a self-report measure of parent racial colorblindness toward their child at T1 and T2, and parents and adolescents completed a measure of discrimination experienced by adoptees at T2.
Parent reports of racial colorblindness toward their child were not significantly different between T1 and T2. However, parent reports of discrimination increased between time points. Further, parent and adolescent reports of discrimination were not significantly different from one another. Using hierarchical regression models, racial colorblindness among parents at T1 (when children were in middle childhood) was significantly associated with parent reports of discrimination experienced by adolescent children at T2, even when controlling for T2 racial colorblindness. This association did not hold for adolescent reports of discrimination.
Adoptive parents' acknowledgment of their children's race and ethnicity appears relatively stable from childhood into adolescence, and parent racial colorblindness toward their own child can affect their ability to recognize discrimination during adolescent development, a vital period when discrimination becomes more common and salient.

本研究利用纵向数据，调查了跨种族、跨国收养家庭中父母的种族无视与对孩子的歧视（由父母和青少年报告）之间的关联。
2007年（时间1 [T1]）对80位收养了韩国儿童（5 - 12岁）的白人养父母进行了调查，2014年（时间2 [T2]）对父母和青少年（13 - 19岁）都进行了调查。父母在T1和T2时完成了一份关于对自己孩子的种族无视的自我报告量表，父母和青少年在T2时完成了一份关于被收养者所经历歧视的量表。
父母对自己孩子的种族无视报告在T1和T2之间没有显著差异。然而，父母报告的歧视在不同时间点有所增加。此外，父母和青少年报告的歧视没有显著差异。使用分层回归模型，T1时（孩子处于童年中期）父母的种族无视与T2时父母报告的青少年孩子所经历的歧视显著相关，即使在控制了T2时的种族无视之后。这种关联在青少年报告的歧视中并不成立。
从童年到青少年，养父母对孩子种族和民族的认知似乎相对稳定，父母对自己孩子的种族无视会影响他们在青少年发展阶段识别歧视的能力，而这一时期歧视变得更加普遍和显著。（PsycInfo数据库记录 (c) 2025美国心理学会，保留所有权利）
