"I want to lift my people up": Exploring the psychological correlates of racial themes within the life stories of midlife Black Americans.

Objective: This study explores how middle-aged Black Americans talk about race, without prompting, while telling their life stories.

Method: Drawing upon a dataset of lengthy Life Story Interviews (N = 70), we first employed a keyword search to identify race-relevant interview scenes for each participant. Next, we conducted a thematic analysis of these scenes to identify salient racial narrative themes.

Preschoolers' mutualistic conception of seeing is related to their knowledge of the pronoun "each other".

Previous research has shown that young children deny being able to see an agent whose eyes are covered. The current study explored this phenomenon further. In Experiment 1, 3-year-olds denied that they could "see," but affirmed that they could "look at," a doll whose eyes were covered--indicating that they demand mutuality for seeing another but not for looking at another.
