几十年来，研究人员一直认为，白色种族主义影响非洲裔美国儿童的种族态度和自我概念。为了研究种族的负面多数文化刻板印象对年轻的非洲裔美国儿童的种族内态度的影响，小学学龄儿童（N = 56）被要求回忆嵌入在故事中的信息，无论是一致的或不一致的文化刻板印象的较轻与深色肤色的非洲裔美国人。为了检验个体差异和认知变量的重要性，儿童随后被给予跨种族态度、自我感知肤色、肤色选择和分类技能的测量。正如预测的那样，儿童对关于肤色的刻板印象比反刻板印象信息表现出更好的记忆。个体差异的程度，这种记忆偏见是明显的变化有关儿童的！（B）对肤色的自我评价本研究对理解种族态度和身份认同的发展具有重要的理论意义，并对非裔美国儿童和欧美儿童的多元文化课程设计具有应用意义。(C)北京：科学出版社.
For many decades, researchers have argued that white racism affects African American children's racial attitudes and self concept. To examine the effects of negative majority-culture stereotypes of race on young African American children's intra-racial attitudes, elementary school-age children (N = 56) were asked to recall information embedded in stories that was either consistent or inconsistent with cultural stereotypes of lighter-versus darker-complexioned African Americans. Te test the importance of individual differences and cognitive variables, children were later given measures of interracial attitudes, self-perceived skin tone, skin tone selection, and classification skill. As predicted, children showed better memory for stereotypic than counterstereotypic information about skin tone. Individual differences in the extent to which this memory bias was evident varied in relation to children's !a) endorsement of negative majority culture views of African Americans and (b) self-ratings of skin color The res-arch has important theoretical implication for understanding racial attitude and identity development, and has applied implications for the design of multicultural programs for African American, as Well as Euro-American, children.
