ISP Lab Director, Dr. Kristin Pauker, dives into informational conversations regarding children and the factors that play into prejudice mindsets.
The webinar covers, “What are Prejudice Mindsets?”, “What is the Difference Between Prejudice and Bias?”, and “How to Caregivers Apply “Prejudice Mindsets” research to raising kids?”.
Dr. Pauker highlights the perspective to address prejudice, as “this difference in how you think about prejudice is what matters in terms of children’s motivations to want to maintain cross group friendships or interact with someone who is a different race than them… The more they thought about prejudice as fixed, the less likely they wanted to interact with a cross group individual, a peer, the more anxious they were when they were put in those interactions, and the less likely they really wanted to do it again.” (Pauker, 2023).
Thank you EmbraceRace and Dr. Pauker for the wonderful information!
