About

PC-ROM was developed to assess parent-child and family interactions using a culturally-relevant observational tool. PC-ROM consists of three components: (1) story time, (2) doll selection, and (3) chit-chat as mechanisms parents utilize to discuss racial identity and transmit racial socialization messages to their school-aged children. The goals of the PC-ROM are to assess the following:

a

The frequency in which parents engage in racial socialization with their young children

The content of messages that parents communicate to their children

Race-related perceptions of young children

Race-related preferences of young children

The relationship between parents use of racial socialization strategies and child race-related perceptions and preferences.
