几乎每个社会都存在着以群体为基础的社会等级制度，然而孩子们是否理解它们的存在却鲜为人知。本研究调查了南非3- 10岁的儿童（N=84）是否将地位较高的种族群体与较高的财富水平（社会地位的一个指标）联系起来。孩子们将价值更高的物品与白人配对的频率高于与多种族或黑人配对的频率，与多种族配对的频率高于与黑人配对的频率，因此显示出他们对社会中事实上的种族等级制度的敏感性。儿童将种族群体与财富差异联系起来的倾向没有年龄相关的变化。根据人们使现状合法化和永久化的一般倾向，讨论了这些结果的含义。
Group-based social hierarchies exist in nearly every society, yet little is known about whether children understand that they exist. The present studies investigated whether 3- to 10-year-old children (N=84) in South Africa associate higher-status racial groups with higher levels of wealth, one indicator of social status. Children matched higher-value belongings with White people more often than with multiracial or Black people and with multiracial people more often than with Black people, thus showing sensitivity to the de facto racial hierarchy in their society. There were no age-related changes in children’s tendency to associate racial groups with wealth differences. The implications of these results are discussed in light of the general tendency for people to legitimize and perpetuate the status quo.
