New study shows black and white children are biased toward lighter skin. In the study, white children had an overwhelming bias toward white, and black children also had a bias toward white, but it was not nearly as strong as the bias shown by the white children.
Margaret Beale Spencer, a leading researcher in the field of child development, designed the pilot study for CNN’s “AC360.” Beale Spencer used a team of three psychologists to implement it: two testers to execute the study and a statistician to help analyze the results.
Her team tested 133 children from schools that met very specific economic and demographic requirements. In total, eight schools participated: four in the greater New York area and four in Georgia.
Spencer’s test aimed to re-create the landmark doll test from the 1940s. Those tests, conducted by psychologists Kenneth and Mamie Clark, were designed to measure how segregation affected African-American children. [ READ MORE ] [ RACISM & BIGOTRY - CNN ]
