本研究旨在探讨社会群体之间的内隐联系和高低地位属性的存在是否会影响群体间态度的形成。研究对象为91名7至12岁的小学生，他们被分配到三种类型的暑期学校教室中，其中教师（1）功能性地使用小说，（“蓝色”和“黄色”）社会群体，通过海报描绘为不同的地位，（2）没有明确使用新的社会群体，尽管如此，被描述为不同的地位，或（3）功能性使用的新的社会群体的信息状态的情况下。6周后，孩子们完成了组间态度的测量。结果表明，当教师对新群体进行功能性使用时，儿童的群体间态度会受到地位操纵的影响。地位高（但不是地位低）群体成员的儿童发展了内群体偏见的态度。
This study was designed to examine whether the presence of implicit links between social groups and high versus low status attributes affects the formation of intergroup attitudes. Elementary school children aged 7 to 12 years (N = 91) were given measures of classification skill and self-esteem, and assigned to one of three types of summer school classrooms in which teachers made (1) functional use of novel ("blue" and "yellow") social groups that were depicted via posters as varying in status, (2) no explicit use of novel social groups that were, nonetheless, depicted as varying in status, or (3) functional use of novel social groups in the absence of information about status. After 6 weeks, children completed measures of intergroup attitudes. Results indicated that children's intergroup attitudes were affected by the status manipulation when teachers made functional use of the novel groups. Children who were members of high-status (but not low-status) groups developed ingroup biased attitudes.
