Racial Recipients, Social Distance, and Sharing Behavior in Children

Zinser, Otto; And Others

Social Behavior and Personality, 4, 1, 65-72, 76

Preschoolers (N=36) and second graders (N=41) were asked to rank preference of a white child, black and an Indian. Subjects were middle-class white southern students who ranked the sharing of small items and their companions in hypothetical social interaction situations. Influence of race of the recipient on sharing behavior is believed to vary with the experimental design used. (Author/SBP)
