Italian children’s ethnic stereotyping: Age differences among 4-10 year olds

Sažetak
The aim of the present study is to investigate children’s attitude towards different ethnic groups in Italian society where interaction with minority groups is still limited but is increasing rapidly. The perception of the own group and two minority groups has been measured in 4-10 year-old children using the Multi-response Racial Attitude (MRA). Data show early emergence of ethnic prejudice and its gradual decline during the development; stereotyped answers are frequent between age of 4 and 6, they reduce with time and nearly disappear around age of 10. Results are discussed in the relation to the two different theoretical approaches in the field, giving evidence to implications tied to the Italian society.
