As formas de expressâo do preconceito na infância
Advisor(s)
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 diferentes de idade (seis/sete anos e nove/dez
anos), esperando-se que as crianças mais novas expressem o preconceito de forma
directa e as mais velhas de forma indirecta, por terem interiorizado a norma social
vigente anti-racista. Este estudo é experimental, tendo sido recolhida uma amostra de
120 participantes de uma escola homogénea da região de Cascais. Para testar as
hipóteses colocadas recorreu-se a ANOVAS e ao Teste de Scheffé (comparação
múltipla de médias). 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 justas na distribuição de recursos, mas por exemplo, as crianças mais novas
ao colocarem-se no papel de outro, como a mãe e o melhor amigo, já expressam o
racismo de forma indirecta. Deve ainda referir-se que as crianças mais novas e mais
novas seguem a norma social do pai.
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 different age groups (six/seven and nine/ten years hold), expecting that younger children will expressed directly prejudice, and the oldest children indirectly, because they have already internalized the social norm of anti-racism. This is an experimental study, with a sample of 120 participants from one homogeneous school in the Cascais area. In order to test the hypothesis, ANOVAS and Scheffé test (multiple comparison of averages), 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 with justice, but for example, younger children express an indirect racism when assuming the role of their mother or the role of their best friend. Both younger and older children tend to follow the social norm of their father.
