Abstract

Prejudice involves holding negative feelings toward a group and its members (e.g., Aboud, 1988; Raabe & Beelmann, 2011). Studies conducted in numerous countries including Australia, Canada, England, Israel, New Zealand, Spain, and the United States have shown that children as young as three to five years old express racial and ethnic prejudice (e.g., Aboud, 1988; Bar-Tal, 1996; Raabe & Beelmann, 2011).
