The colors white and black are used as symbolic referents for, respectively, positive and negative evaluations. Studies are reviewed which describe the nature and extent of children's association of white with good and black with bad. A total of 375 white and 399 black children were tested. White and black preschool children respond similarly to the colors white and black, but white children show more polarization in their color associations than do black children. When children were filmed as they hit white or black boxes or bobo dolls with plastic baseball bats, black objects were more often the target than white objects. Preschool children's evaluative associations to the colors white and black are related to their choices of white or black playmates in a free-play situation. As child ten become older, their perceptions of the colors white and black become differentiated from their perceptions of white and black people. |
