Abstract

The present research explored whether children manifest intergroup biases in their choice of informants from in- versus out-groups. We conducted two studies among Israeli Jewish and Arab children aged 5- and 8-year-old (N = 260; 51% girls, 49% boys). Study 1 served as a baseline with nonsocial targets of information, whereas Study 2 had people as targets. We examined biases in three respects: assessment of informants' expertise, preference for informants, and acceptance of informants' advice. Results revealed intergroup biases in children's choices of informants in all three respects, particularly when learning about people, and among younger and minority group children. The findings highlight how epistemic and social identity cues affect children's informant's choice. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved).

儿童对群体内与群体外信息者偏好的群体间偏见。

本研究探讨儿童在选择内群体和外群体的线人时是否表现出群体间的偏见。我们在5岁和8岁的以色列犹太人和阿拉伯儿童中进行了两项研究(N = 260；51%的女孩，49%的男孩)。研究1以非社会信息为基准，而研究2以人为目标。我们从三个方面检查了偏见：对举报人专业知识的评估，对举报人的偏好，以及对举报人建议的接受。结果显示，在这三个方面，儿童在选择线人时存在群体间偏见，尤其是在了解人的时候，以及在年龄较小和少数群体的儿童中。研究结果强调了认知和社会身份线索如何影响儿童的信息提供者的选择。（PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA，版权所有）。

期刊介绍： Developmental Psychology ® publishes articles that significantly advance knowledge and theory about development across the life span. The journal focuses on seminal empirical contributions. The journal occasionally publishes exceptionally strong scholarly reviews and theoretical or methodological articles. Studies of any aspect of psychological development are appropriate, as are studies of the biological, social, and cultural factors that affect development. The journal welcomes not only laboratory-based experimental studies but studies employing other rigorous methodologies, such as ethnographies, field research, and secondary analyses of large data sets. We especially seek submissions in new areas of inquiry and submissions that will address contradictory findings or controversies in the field as well as the generalizability of extant findings in new populations. Although most articles in this journal address human development, studies of other species are appropriate if they have important implications for human development. Submissions can consist of single manuscripts, proposed sections, or short reports.
