对成年人的研究表明，通过接触积极的黑人样本，可以减少对白色人的内隐偏好。然而，目前还不清楚是否存在发展差异的能力，这些偏见被改变。这项研究包括369名儿童，并检查他们的隐性种族偏见是否会减少暴露后，积极的黑人榜样。结果表明，儿童的内隐亲白偏见减少后，暴露于积极的黑色样本，但只有年龄较大的儿童（M-年龄=类似于10岁）。年龄较小的儿童（M-年龄=类似于7岁）的内隐偏见不受此干预。这些结果表明，发展差异的可塑性内隐种族偏见，并指出可能的年龄差异的干预效果。
Studies with adults suggest that implicit preferences favoring White versus Black individuals can be reduced through exposure to positive Black exemplars. However, it remains unclear whether developmental differences exist in the capacity for these biases to be changed. This study included 369 children and examined whether their implicit racial bias would be reduced following exposure to positive Black exemplars. Results showed that children's implicit pro-White bias was reduced following exposure to positive Black exemplars, but only for older children (M-age = similar to 10 years). Younger children's (M-age = similar to 7 years) implicit bias was not affected by this intervention. These results suggest developmental differences in the malleability of implicit racial biases and point to possible age differences in intervention effectiveness.
