Abstract

SILVA, Khalil da Costa  and  FRANCA, Dalila Xavier de. Contributions from the socio-normative approach to the study of racial prejudice in childhood. Psicologia [online]. 2020, vol.34, n.2, pp.1-14. ISSN 0874-2049.  https://doi.org/10.17575/psicologia.v34i2.1233.

Research on racial prejudice in childhood was influenced by The Social-Cognitive Theory and The Social Identity Development Theory, which highlighted the role of cognitive skills and group membership on the manifestations of racial attitudes in children. The study of prejudiced attitudes in childhood, based on a Socio-Normative approach, was driven by more recent research, which found that children, like adults, inhibit flagrant expressions of prejudice. In this work, the contributions of The Socio-Normative Approach to the study of racial prejudice in childhood are discussed based on research that analyzes the manifestations of racial attitudes in children as a result of the interaction between a series of factors, such as the perception of the norm of equality, Theory of Mind and moral judgment.

Keywords : Social norms; racism; moral judgment.
