Brief Summary:
Examine infants attention to racial ingroup and outgroup faces and collect information about racial diversity in infants social environment from social networks to neighborhoods
Evaluate infants social wariness toward racial ingroup and outgroup strangers collect information about racial diversity in infants social environment from social networks to neighborhoods and collect temperament measures
Evaluate infants social wariness toward racial ingroup and outgroup strangers collect information about racial diversity in infants social environment from social networks to neighborhoods and collect temperament measures
Detailed Description:
The human tendency to discriminate by race emerges early in development By 3 months infants prefer looking at same-race over different-race faces However it is unclear how these perceptual tendencies translate to later racial prejudice and stereotypes Previous infancy research on racial groups has mostly focused on perceptual skills such as classifying faces of different races rather than infants cognitive reasoning about and approach-avoidance behaviors toward different racial groups that may be more direct precursors of racial biases Further exposure to racial diversity shapes perceptual face processing in infancy suggesting that exposure to racial diversity could also shape more higher-order processes such as infants cognitive inferences about and social behaviors based on race Yet little is known about whether infants use race as a meaningful social category and how early exposure to racial diversity could shape their conception of race Thus in this study researchers will investigate a variety of social behaviors of infants including attention to faces and social wariness
The goal of this observational study is to learn how infants brain activities as captured by EEG differ for familiar or unfamiliar racial group in typically developing infants The main questions of the study are
Will infants show greater event-related desynchronization ie more motor system activation frontal theta synchronization ie more attention and more positive frontal alpha asymmetry ie more approach motivation to familiar than unfamiliar racial group
How does infants exposure to racial diversity in their social network and neighborhoods relate to these EEG activities Participants will visit a laboratory at the UC Santa Cruz campus for this study Infants will put an EEG cap on and watch about 15 minutes of videos in which people from different racial backgrounds do different actions eg grabbing an object saying hi and approaching closer and playing peek-a-boo Caregivers will be asked to fill out a demographic form and a social network survey
