本研究旨在探讨学生的种族背景对教师教育决策的影响。来自中西部一个大城市的207名小学教师参与了这项研究。所有参与者被随机分配到三种治疗条件之一。每一组都提供了一个简短的案例，描述一个天才儿童。三分之一的教师阅读描述一个欧洲裔美国学生的小插曲，三分之一阅读描述一个非洲裔美国学生的小插曲，三分之一作为对照组，没有收到任何关于学生种族的信息。在阅读小插曲后，所有参与者被要求回答两个问题。本研究结果显示，学生的种族在教师的转介决定上确实有差异。
This study examines the effect of students' ethnicity on teachers' educational decision making. A total of 207 elementary school teachers from a large midwestern city participated in this study. All participants were randomly assigned to one of three treatment conditions. Each group was provided with a short case vignette describing a gifted child. One third of the teachers read a vignette describing a European American student, one third read a vignette describing an African American student, and one third served as a control group and received no information about the student's ethnicity. After reading the vignette, all participants were asked to respond to two questions. The results of this study indicated that the student's ethnicity did make a difference in the teachers' referral decisions.
