Resumen

En este artículo se revisan algunos resultados de la investigación evolutiva En España sobre el prejuicio étnico en la niñez y preadolescencia. Desde un enfoque sociocognitivo-evolutivo, se examinan algunos precursores del prejuicio en la infancia, como son las habilidades de categorización y autoidentificación étnica y las primeras actitudes, así como capacidades más tardías que surgen en la preadolescencia, relacionadas con la toma de conciencia de la discriminación social y de sus repercusiones en las víctimas. Algunos de estos resultados se comparan con los de investigaciones realizadas en países de composición multiétnica. Se describen también estudios con niños latinoamericanos que residen en España y se comparan los resultados obtenidos en ambos grupos (mayoritario y minoritario) discutiendo sus implicaciones sociales.

Abstract

The paper reviews some of the findings of developmental research on ethnic prejudice during childhood and preadolescence carried out in Spain. From a sociocognitive-developmental approach, we examine some precursors of prejudice in childhood, such as, ethnic categorisation skills, self-identification skills, and early attitudes, together with late abilities that emerge during preadolescence, which are related with social discrimination awareness and its repercussions on victims. Some of these results are compared with those from research studies undertaken in countries with a multiethnic population. Studies carried out with Latin American children living in Spain are also described and discussed in terms of their social implications.
