ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial, titled "The Malleability of Social Group Understanding in Infancy and Early Childhood," is exploring how children develop their social preferences and understanding of different races. The researchers want to find out if interacting with children from different races changes how kids think about race and social relationships compared to when they interact only with children of the same race.

The study is looking for children aged 5 to 7 years who are typically developing and speak English. If your child fits this description, they may be eligible to participate. During the trial, children will engage in activities that allow them to interact with peers from various racial backgrounds. This could help researchers understand how these interactions influence children's social behavior and perceptions about race. If you’re interested in this study, it’s a great opportunity for kids to learn and grow in a diverse environment!
