Bernstein, Jeffrey; Zimmerman, Toni Schindler; Werner- Wilson, Ronald Jay; Vosburg, Jill
Journal of Research in Childhood Education, v14 n2 p181-92 Spr-Sum 2000
Examined the impact of an 8-week intervention program designed to reduce racial/ethnic stereotyping among preschoolers varying in classification skill. Found that children in the experimental group had increased in classification skills at posttest and were less likely to sort photo cards by race/ethnicity and more likely to sort them by gender and age than were control group children.
