Abstract
This chapter explores the formation of stereotypes in children, particularly negative stereotypes that children hold about others. Theoretical views about stereotype formation in children are presented, and evidence from developmental studies on racism and ageism is summarized. Empirical research is also provided in an attempt to address unanswered questions about negative stereotype formation in children. Commonalities in the development of stereotypes will be drawn, with implications given about the course of
stereotype development, and how children's reliance on stereotypes can be lessened.
