Topic:
Infants and children’s understanding of social groups and social dominance
Description:
As adults, we may have faced situations that challenged our harmful stereotypes about different social groups and had to take steps to unlearn them. What about infants and young children? How and when do they develop preferences for and stereotypes about social groups, and what strategies can caregivers use to foster greater tolerance in their reasoning?
