Young Children In US Less Likely To See Discrimination As Harmful: NYU Study

A new study by the university has found that young children in the US do not consider discrimination as harmful as considered by adults. The new study has shown that such beliefs start at an early stage.

Vivian Liu, the paper’s lead author and an NYU doctoral student at the time of the study commented, “Children frequently encounter discrimination in their daily lives—as witnesses, victims, and, sometimes, as perpetrators. Our research reveals that, unlike adults, children in the US view discriminatory acts as more permissible than identical acts motivated by other reasons. This view of discrimination may lead children to engage in discriminatory behavior themselves, make them less likely to seek help when targeted by discrimination, and reduce their willingness to intervene when witnessing discrimination against others.”
