Produktbeschreibung
Utilizing three different experimental settings in a
small mid-western elementary school, psychologist
Katherine Aumer-Ryan was able to better understand
how children navigate their social world when
identity issues arose. Children were assigned to two
different groups: red and blue. However, some
children were assigned to be simultaneously part of
both groups. How did these children come to terms
with a conflicting social situation and their own
identity concerns? Did these children have more
friends? Less friends? Were they more cognitively
flexible than their single-identity peers? Did the
other children in the class accept or reject these
children? The research in this book contributes to
better understanding how children from multicultural
and/or multiracial backgrounds; who have
dual-identities are shaped by and shape the world
around them.
