Interethnic prejudice in children has been studied mostly among White and Black populations in the United States, but less among East Asian populations and Europe. Given that interethnic prejudice is sensitive to populations and contexts, research on previously neglected groups is needed. In the current study, interethnic prejudice is examined among Chinese-Dutch children aged 7–11 years (N = 80, 42 girls and 38 boys), focusing on their preference for and rejection of East Asian, White, Southwest Asian and North African, and Black peers. In addition, interethnic prejudice is examined in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic, a global crisis that has led to anti-Asian racism. The results revealed that Chinese-Dutch children evaluated their ethnic ingroup and the White outgroup most positively, and the Black outgroup least positively. Moreover, stronger ingroup affinity (in terms of lower ingroup rejection) among Chinese-Dutch children was found during than before the COVID-19 pandemic, highlighting the importance of situational influences on children's interethnic prejudice.

危机与偏见：探讨 COVID-19 大流行之前和期间华裔荷兰儿童的种族偏见


儿童种族间偏见的研究主要集中在美国的白人和黑人群体中，但在东亚群体和欧洲群体中的研究较少。鉴于种族间偏见对人群和环境很敏感，因此需要对以前被忽视的群体进行研究。在当前的研究中，对 7-11 岁的华裔荷兰儿童（N = 80，42 名女孩和 38 名男孩）进行了种族间偏见调查，重点关注他们对东亚、白人、西南亚和北非的偏好和排斥，和黑人同龄人。此外，还对与 COVID-19 大流行有关的种族间偏见进行了研究，这是一场导致反亚裔种族主义的全球危机。结果显示，华裔荷兰儿童对自己的种族内群体和白人外群体的评价最积极，而黑人外群体的评价最差。此外，在COVID-19大流行期间，华裔荷兰儿童的内群体亲和力（就内群体排斥性较低而言）比之前更强，这凸显了情境影响对儿童种族间偏见的重要性。
