| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
My research aimed to investigate prejudice in relation to (1) development (that is, when do children first start to show prejudice?); (2) evolution (that is, is prejudice unique to humans?), and (3) neural mechanisms (that is, what neural signatures are associated with prejudice?).
In relation to development, I found that 6-month olds show evidence for prejudice. This is earlier than prior proposals that prejudice emerges at age 3-4 years. As for the evolution of prejudice, data collection is ongoing. Early results suggest that chimpanzees and humans may show similar evidence for prejudice. Regarding the neural mechanisms, we are now testing children and adults. More data is required for any definitive conclusion.
When completed, these studies will shed light on how and why prejudice occurs.
