When Groups Are Not Created Equal: Effects of Group Status on the Formation of Intergroup Attitudes in Children.
Bigler, Rebecca S.; Brown, Christia Spears; Markell, Marc
Child Development, v72 n4 p1151-62 Jul-Aug 2001
Examined whether the presence of implicit links between social groups and high versus low status attributes affected formation of intergroup attitudes among 7- to 12-year-olds. Found that children's intergroup attitudes were affected by a status manipulation when teachers made functional use of the novel groups. Children who were members of high-status, but not low- status, groups developed in-group biased attitudes. (Author/KB)
