Children's Social Reasoning about Inclusion and Exclusion in Gender and Race Peer Group Contexts.
Killen, Melanie; Stangor, Charles
Child Development, v72 n1 p174-86 Jan-Feb 2001
Investigated age and context differences in children's judgments about excluding peers from group activities on the basis of gender and race. Found that the vast majority of children rejected exclusion in contexts in which only stereotypes justified exclusion. Older children (13 years) were more likely to allow exclusion than younger (7 and 10 years) when group functioning was threatened. (Author/KB)
