- Title
USE OF A CONFLICT PARADIGM TO STUDY RACE AWARENESS IN CHILDREN.
- Authors
Cantor, Gordon N.
- Abstract
<em>60 white, second-grade children made selective responses involving 6 different pairs of 2 pairs of white boys (W-W), 2 pairs of blacks (B-B), and 2 pairs that included a white and a black (W-B). For each of the 3 picture-pair types, 1 choice was made of a boy described as "good" in some sense, the second choice being made of a boy described as "bad." On the W-B trials, significantly more Ss chose white for "good" and black for "bad" than would be expected by choice. On the W-W trials, response latencies were longer for "bad" than for "good" choices, whereas the opposite relationship held on the B-B trials. Overall, Ss took longer to respond on W-W than on B-B trials; however, follow-up tests indicated this differences was significant for the "bad" but not the "good" choices, and for those Ss choosing white for "good" and black for "bad" on the W-B trials but not for the remaining Ss</em>.
