Abstract

CANTOR, GORDON N., and PATERNITE, CARL E. A Follow-up Study of Race Awareness Using a Conflict Paradigm. CHILD DEVELOPMENT, 1973, 44, 859-861. A pattern of results from an earlier conflict-paradigm study suggesting the presence of negative attitudes toward blacks in early elementary-school-aged white children was not reproduced. Ss took significantly longer to choose a boy they thought would do a thing than one they thought would do a thing, regardless of the racial makeup of the picture pairs (white-white, black-black) constituting the choices provided them. A tendency to choose white for good and black for bad when white-black pairs were involved-clearly in evidence in the earlier experimentwas not apparent in the present case.
