Key Points

Children show varying beliefs about social categories based on biological and cultural influences, implying essentialism develops contextually.
7 social categories were analyzed, with attention on gender and ethnicity as significant factors among 5- to 10-year-olds.
Using adapted paradigms from Western studies, the analysis highlights developmental differences in essentialist beliefs in Iranian children over time and context interactions with age and motivation factors. Understanding social essentialism can guide educational approaches to diversity and inclusion.
