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_age = 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.

年龄和种族如何影响与孩子谈论种族的频率、时间和内容

反种族主义的努力需要与孩子谈论种族。目前的工作测试了美国成年人（N  = 441；52% 女性；32% BIPOC 参与者；M_年龄 = 35 岁）在 2019 年的两个时间点与孩子讨论种族问题。大约 60% 的成年参与者在前一周与他们的孩子（3-12 岁）谈论种族问题；在同一时期，只有 29% 的人与其他成年人谈论过种族问题。本文描述了有关种族的对话的内容和预测因素，揭示了对话如何根据参与者的种族、儿童的年龄以及对话是与儿童还是其他成年人发生而有所不同。这些数据对于理论化成年人何时、为什么以及如何真正与儿童和成年人谈论种族具有重要意义。
