尽管人类社会提供了免受伤害的保护，并能够构建协作和互利的社会结构，但它们也为拒绝对某些人口部分提供平等待遇的社会等级制度铺平了道路。关于公平和平等的道德判断，以及刻板印象、偏见和成见，早在 3 岁和 4 岁时就出现了。调查幼儿对其他人不公平待遇的反应表明，从 3 至 4 岁开始，儿童常常会根据内群体偏见行事，并且尚未挑战排斥或纠正不平等。然而，到了 5 至 6 岁时，孩子们对群体的了解以及对他人心理状态的理解使他们能够开始批判性地评估不公平的做法，特别是在同龄人的背景下。这些因素对于幼儿挑战他人不公平待遇的新兴能力发挥着重要作用。 (C) 2018 S. Karger AG，巴塞尔
Although human societies provide protection from harm and enable the construction of collaborative and mutually beneficial social structures, they also pave the way for social hierarchies that deny equal treatment to certain portions of the population. Moral judgments about fairness and equality, as well as stereotypes, biases, and prejudice, emerge as early as 3 and 4 years of age. Investigating young children's responses to the unfair treatment of others reveals that, beginning at 3-4 years of age, children often act on ingroup biases and do not yet challenge exclusion or rectify inequalities. By 5-6 years of age, however, children's knowledge of groups, along with their understanding of others' mental states, enables them to begin to critically evaluate unfair practices, particularly in peer contexts. These factors play a significant role in young children's emerging ability to challenge unfair treatment of others. (C) 2018 S. Karger AG, Basel
