对来自种族异质学校的7岁和10岁的欧洲裔美国人和非洲裔美国人的儿童以及来自种族同质学校的7岁和10岁的欧洲裔美国人儿童的群体间态度进行了评估，以检验关于种族偏见的假设和关于跨种族同伴互动的判断(N=302)。使用模棱两可的情境任务，研究结果显示，在同质学校就读的欧洲裔美国儿童在对模棱两可的情境的解释以及对跨种族友谊的评价上表现出种族偏见。然而，在对来自不同学校的欧洲裔美国人或非洲裔美国人儿童的解释和评估中，没有发现偏见。这项研究首次经验性地证明了学校环境中的群体间接触与儿童的群体间偏见以及对跨种族友谊潜力的判断之间的显著和直接关系。版权所有(C)2010 John Wiley&Sons，Ltd.
Intergroup attitudes were assessed in 7 and 10 years old European American and African American children from ethnically heterogeneous schools and in 7 and 10 years old European American children from ethnically homogeneous schools in order to test hypotheses about racial biases and judgments regarding cross-race peer interactions (N = 302). Using an Ambiguous Situations Task, the findings revealed that European American children attending homogeneous schools displayed racial bias in their interpretations of ambiguous situations as well as in their evaluations of cross-race friendship. Bias was not found, however, in the interpretations and evaluations of European American or African American children from heterogeneous schools. This study is the first to empirically demonstrate significant and direct relationships between intergroup contact in the school environment and children's intergroup biases as well as judgments about the potential for cross-race friendships.
