How do children generalize negative information about a social group to its members?

This study focuses on how the negative information that children hear about a social group shapes the way in which they think about the members of that group. Specifically, in this study we are asking three main questions: 1) Do children expect a member of a social group to behave in a similar way to the other members of that group? More specifically, when children see that some members of a social group engaging in negative behaviors (e.g., psychologically harming or being antisocial towards members of another social group), would they be more likely to expect that another member of that group would also engage in that negative behavior? 2) Can we change the attribution that the participant made about the novel member of that social group (i.e., the perpetrator group) by offering them the testimony of another individual (i.e., an informant)? And 3) Would the identity of the informant (i.e., whether this individual is another member from the group who displayed the negative action, a member of the victim group, or an independent observer) would play a role in the effectiveness of their testimony?
