Developmental Patterns in the Flexibility of Children's Ethnic Attitudes.

Doyle, Anna-Beth; And Others

Journal of Cross-Cultural Psychology, v19 n1 p3-18 Mar 1988

Assessment of ethnic attitudes in 232 English- and French-speaking children aged five to 12 reveals that positive attribution to one's own ethnic group and negative attributions to the other group decrease with age. Cognitive rather than social desirability factors are important in the development of children's ethnic attitudes. (Author/BJV)
