Ethnic Attitudes among Elementary School Students in a Multiethnic School Community.
Yamauchi, Lois A.; Nakagawa, Tara; Murdoch, Kathryn
Journal of Research in Childhood Education, v12 n2 p155-65 Spr-Sum 1998
Examined ethnic attitudes in a multiethnic elementary school in Hawaii. Interviews and surveys in Study 1 revealed age-related differences in how children described different ethnic groups. Results of Study 2 (participants nominated peers to fulfill certain roles with positive and negative connotations) indicated some differences from research in homogeneous communities; in general, nominations were influenced more by same-sex preferences rather than by ethnic preferences.
