Abstract
Using 216 Black-American children (M= 2 years, 45.7% female) and their mothers (M=25.3 years, SD= 5.00), we found no significant correlation for economic privilege or diversity (r = .021, p= .818) (r = .025, p= .782). It suggests environmental factors experienced prenatally may not negatively impact a child’s behavior.
