Abstract
We examined the effect of minimal groups vs. real groups (gender, language and race) on children’s intergroup biases. Four-to-7-year-old children preferred minimal ingroup members over outgroup members (Study 1); this tendency was weaker than that observed for gender, but was similar to that observed for language and race (Study 2).
