Background:

Perceived discrimination negatively impacts children's psychological and physical health.
Existing measures for childhood discrimination have methodological and theoretical limitations.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce and validate the Child Perceived Discrimination Questionnaire (CPDQ).
To assess the reliability and validity of the CPDQ for measuring everyday discrimination in children.

Main Methods:

Data collected from 163 children aged 9-11 (52.15% female, 57.67% Black).
Assessed internal consistency, factor structure, and construct validity of the CPDQ.

Main Results:

The CPDQ demonstrated good to excellent internal consistency.
Preliminary evidence supports the CPDQ's hypothesized factor structure.
The CPDQ showed construct validity and discriminated between racial groups.

Conclusions:

The CPDQ is a reliable and valid tool for assessing perceived discrimination in children.
Further research is recommended to strengthen evidence of the CPDQ's reliability and validity.
