Wallstreet Journal, May 2013
SUMMARY: An interesting article about a study exploring when children start developing a bias, particularly, in regards to race. It tested kids 3-12 by showing them racially ambiguous facial features--with expressions of anger and happiness--and asking the kids to put them in their category or the "them" category. It appears at age three children become aware of race in the context of positive or negative. For the white American children, black and Asian faces were more likely to be associated with bad, scary than white faces were. For the Asian children in Taiwan, the white faces were more likely to associated with negative or bad things.
