In case you missed it, the cameras were rolling at the APS 23rd Annual Convention in Washington, DC. Watch Sabrica Barnett<\/a> from The City University of New York present her poster research on \u201cNot Fully Black, but Not Fully White: Whites\u2019 Perceptions of Black-White Biracials.\u201d<\/p>\n

Barnett and her coauthor Daryl A. Wout<\/a> won an APSSC Award for this research, in which they compared Whites\u2019 ratings of perceived similarity, competence, and warmth for Blacks, Whites, and Black\/White biracials. Their findings were consistent with previous research on this topic: Whites tend to perceive Black\/White biracials as more similar, competent, and warm than Blacks; however, they perceive Black\/White biracials as less similar, competent, and warm than Whites. These findings have important implications for how biracial people are treated and valued in society.<\/p>\n
