Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
The way in which children categorize race is a highly debatable topic for which a conclusive result has not yet been found.

Previous research has shown that children do not treat race in the same way as adults do. Even by fourth grade, children do not consistently believe in the essence of race (Glerum, 2002).

The current study examined the overall consistency between the latest BASC and CBCL preschool versions. A sample of 50 parents of preschool-aged children referred for a developmental evaluation participated in this study by completing both …
