Although the experiences of discrimination have become part of everyday lives for many children and adolescents in Germany, there is a lack of empirical data to explore its consequences on the well-being and other aspects of life. The limited data can be attributed to the lack of age-appropriate survey methods and instruments. Thus, the authors focus on the possibilities and challenges for an age-appropriate, standardised assessment of discrimination experiences among children and adolescents in Germany. An electronic database search was conducted to identify published instruments worldwide. Three Englishlanguage questionnaires developed for children aged nine years and onwards in the USA were found.These instruments have been used to collect data in samples with a large proportion of minor African Americans. The authors tested for the comprehensibility of the Child Perceived Discrimination Questionnaire (CPDQ; LaFont et al., 2018) in a sample of n = 21 schoolchildren aged between 6 and 14 years using cognitive interviews.The results highlight age differences in the item comprehensibility and demonstrate the topic's relevance even for preschool children. The authors discuss the importance of findings on discrimination experiences of minors for therapeutic and pedagogical practice and illustrate starting points for closing the research gap identified.
