The Development and Consequences of Stereotype Consciousness in Middle Childhood.
McKown, Clark; Weinstein, Rhona S.
Child Development, v74 n2 p498-515 Mar-Apr 2003
Examined in 2 studies development and consequences of 6- to 10-year-olds' awareness of others' stereotypes. Findings indicated that children's ability to infer an individual's stereotype and awareness of broadly-held stereotypes increased with age. Academically stigmatized groups (African American and Latino) were more likely to be aware of broadly held stereotypes than non-stigmatized (White and Asian) groups. Stereotype awareness among African American and Latino children influenced cognitive task performance. (Author/KB)
