孩子们更喜欢从彼此一致的信息提供者那里学习。然而，没有研究探讨这种偏好是否存在于不同的文化中，以及被调查者的种族是否会影响这种偏好。在2项研究中，136名4至7岁的欧美和台湾儿童表现出对共识的系统偏好。然而，这种偏好的最初强度和持久性取决于共识的种族构成。即使只有一个共识成员留下来提供信息，孩子们对属于同一种族的共识成员的偏好也会持续下去。当共识由不同种族的被调查者组成时，对共识的偏好最初是明显的，但当共识中只有一名成员与持不同意见的被调查者在一起时，偏好就消失了。
Children prefer to learn from informants in consensus with one another. However, no research has examined whether this preference exists across cultures, and whether the race of the informants impacts that preference. In 2 studies, one hundred thirty-six 4- to 7-year-old European American and Taiwanese children demonstrated a systematic preference for a consensus. Nevertheless, the initial strength and persistence of that preference depended on the racial composition of the consensus. Children's preference for consensus members belonging to the same race as themselves persisted even when only one consensus member remained to provide information. When the consensus consisted of different-race informants, preference for the consensus was initially apparent but lost when only one member from the consensus remained with the dissenting informant.
