| Research interests |
| My research examines social-cognitive development. In particular, I focus on the early development of children’s intergroup attitudes and identities. My recent research as examined: when and how children’s prejudice is influenced by self-presentation; how intergroup contact can reduce childhood prejudice; the social and cognitive basis to children’s evaluations of peers within intergroup contexts (the development of subjective group dynamics); ethnic identification and acculturation amongst ethnic minority and majority children. |
