儿童表现出普遍的内群体偏见，在包括喜欢、模仿以及在某些情况下资源分配在内的一系列环境中，他们更喜欢自己的内群体。越来越多的研究开始探讨反社会的群体行为是否会降低这种偏见的鲁棒性。然而，这些研究都集中在越轨评价，只有两项研究集中在社会学习，没有明确的模仿。因此，这限制了儿童对群体内偏见和反社会行为之间相互作用的反应可以被充分理解的程度。本研究在现有文献的基础上，利用模仿作为一种行为测量手段，探讨了4-5岁和7-8岁儿童对反社会内群体行为的反应。与以前的文献一致，反社会的群体内行为减少了群体内的喜欢评级。然而，令人惊讶的是，儿童的行为模仿偏好完全是由群体成员所引导的，而不考虑亲社会或反社会行为。这些结果表明，儿童明确报告的社会偏好和模仿偏好可能是由两个独立的驱动。
Children demonstrate a pervasive in-group bias, preferring their in-group across a range of contexts that encompass measures of liking, imitation, and, in some cases, resource allocation. A growing number of studies have begun to explore whether antisocial in-group behavior reduces the robustness of this bias. However, these studies have focused on transgression evaluations, with only two studies focusing on social learning and none explicitly on imitation. This, therefore, limits the extent to which children's responses to interaction between in-group bias and antisocial behavior can be fully understood. The current research expands on the prevailing literature, utilizing imitation as a behavioral measure to explore the reactions of children aged 4-5 and 7-8 years in response to antisocial in-group behavior. Consistent with previous literature, antisocial in-group behavior reduced in-group liking ratings. Surprisingly, however, children's behavioral imitation preferences were guided solely by group membership, disregarding prosocial or antisocial behavior. These results indicate that children's explicitly reported social preferences and imitative preferences may be motivated by two independent drives.
