A Longitudinal Study of White Children's Racial Prejudice as a Social-Cognitive Development.

Studied changes in prejudice toward blacks and Native Indians among white children between ages six and nine. Found that older children were less prejudiced than younger children. Favorable-white and unfavorable-black evaluations did not decline with age, but unfavorable-white and favorable-black evaluations increased with age, and counter-bias attitudes increased with age.
