Abstract(s)
O objectivo deste estudo é verificar de que forma a idade das crianças influencia a
forma de expressão de preconceito das mesmas, ou seja, de que forma se expressa o
preconceito na infância, em dois grupos de idades (seis/sete anos e nove/dez anos). Este
estudo é experimental, foi recolhida uma amostra de 134 participantes de quatro escolas
heterogéneas da região da Grande Lisboa. Para testar as hipóteses colocadas recorreu-se a
ANOVAS, Teste de Scheffé (comparação múltipla de médias) e Análise de Regressão. Desta
forma, observa-se que, ao contrário do que se tinha proposto, tanto as crianças mais novas
como as crianças mais velhas expressam-se de forma indirecta no que diz respeito ao
preconceito face a indivíduos negros, ou seja, estas crianças são igualitárias na distribuição de
recursos, mas ao colocarem-se no papel de outro já expressam o racismo de forma indirecta.
Deve ainda referir-se que em as crianças mais novas seguem a norma social dos pais,
enquanto as mais velhas seguem a dos amigos
The goal of this study is to determine how children’s age influences their way of expressing prejudice, or in other words, how prejudice is expressed in childhood, in two age groups (six/seven and nine/ten years hold). This is an experimental study, with a sample of 134 participants from four heterogeneous schools of the Lisbon area. In order to test the hypothesis ANOVAS, Scheffé test (multiple comparison of averages) and Regression analysis were used. In spite of what was initially proposed, it was observed that both younger and older children express their prejudice towards black individuals in an indirect way. Thus, these children distributed the resources equality, but express an indirect racism when assuming the role of someone else. Younger children tend to follow the social norm of their parents, wile older children tend to follow the social norm of their friends
