“…Cognitive-developmental theory (CDT; Aboud, 1988;Katz, 1976;Lambert & Klineberg, 1967) holds that children's judgments of in-group and out-group members change from being group-based to being outcomes of more complex, person-based processes as children develop multiple classification skills. That is, children judge people on multiple dimensions, of which a particular group membership is only one.…”

To test social and cognitive variables that may affect the development of subjective group dynamics, the authors had 224 children between the ages of 5 and 12 years evaluate an in-group and an out-group and normative and deviant in-group members under conditions of high or low accountability to in-group peers. In-group bias and relative favorability to normative versus deviant in-group members (differential evaluation) increased when children were accountable to peers and as a function of perceptions of peer group acceptance of these members (differential inclusion). These effects were significantly larger among older children. Multiple classification ability was unrelated to judgments of group members. This study shows that the development of subjective group dynamics involves an increase in sensitivity to the normative aspects of the intergroup context.

“…Empirical research in developmental psychology has confirmed this proposition. It was found that children as young as four years old exhibit attitudinal reactions toward people of other nationalities (Lambert and Klineberg 1967;Piaget and Weil 1951). Interestingly but not surprisingly, children tend to view their own national group in a more positive light compared to their perceptions of other nations.…”

“…Subsequent empirical studies done in various socio-cultural contexts among children aged between 4 and 15 have confirmed this proposition. Research studies persuasively demonstrated that by the age of ten children attain full awareness of their own as well as other national groups (Enesco, Navarro, Paradela and Guerrero 2005;Heinzmann 2013;Lambert and Klineberg 1967).…”

Stereotypes as an interdisciplinary construct: Implications for applied linguistics researchStudies on stereotypes have been done in various academic disciplines, which makes stereotypes a truly interdisciplinary construct. This article offers a review of literature on country and national stereotypes. It examines the origins of the construct of stereotypes and methodologies employed to investigate it. The article also highlights gaps -both theoretical and methodological -in research on country and national stereotypes in the field of applied linguistics. The final part of the article suggests future directions for research on stereotypes in applied linguistics, discusses theoretical and methodological considerations for future studies on country and national stereotypes in the field and highlights pedagogical implications that can be drawn from these studies.

“…These studies reveal similar findings: that is, that students' global knowledge and attitude are not sufficient. Moreover, there are some studies that have investigated the sources influencing students' global knowledge (Lambert and Klineberg, 1967;Petri, 1988;Davies et al, 2005). Furthermore, several studies (Blankenship, 1990;Roberts, 1994, Giffin et al, 2002 are interested in examining whether the global knowledge varies according to students' gender, grade, and race.…”

This study is interested in understanding curriculum as an international text and evaluating the connections between junior high school students' global knowledge and attitudes and the required national curriculum in Taiwan. The study also examines whether the global knowledge and attitudes vary by demographic variables. By using the Global Knowledge Scale and Global Attitudes Scale, data were collected from 1,017 students in central Taiwan and analyzed by descriptive statistics, chi-square and one-way MANOVA. The results of this study revealed that, first, the global knowledge of the junior high school students was insufficient, but their global attitudes were positive. Second, there was no gender difference in global knowledge but there was a difference in global attitudes. Third, ninth graders held significantly the highest knowledge and attitudes than eighth graders and seventh graders. Fourth, there was a socioeconomic status difference in global knowledge and attitudes. Finally, students with overseas travel experience have better global knowledge and attitudes. This study suggests that practitioners and researchers need to find practical ways to improve global education including curriculum design and implementation, teacher preparation, school environment, and students' assessment.
