Native speakers are more likeable and knowledgeable, but foreign speakers are not bad
Language is not only a communication tool but also a social marker that is used to categorize and divide people. By early childhood, monolingual English-speaking children tend to favor native English speakers as friends and informants. However, much of this literature relies on forced-choice methods, leaving open whether children's native language preference reflects greater liking of native speakers, disliking of foreign speakers, or both. Simil…
Development of infants’ preferential looking toward native language speakers across distinct social contexts
Presenting pictures of faces side by side is a common paradigm to assess infants' attentional biases according to social categories, such as gender, race, and language. However, seeing static faces does not represent infants' typical experience of the social world, which involves people in motion and performing actions. Here, we assessed infants' looking preferences for native over foreign language speakers in two social contexts: the presentatio…
Black and White children’s race-based information endorsement and teacher preference
The current study examined whether racially minoritized children and racial majority children demonstrate different race-based learning preferences and whether the racial demographics of their schools and neighborhoods predict these preferences. Race-based information endorsement and teacher preferences of Black and White 3- to 7-year-old children (n = 238) recruited from a metropolitan area in the midwestern United States were examined. Across r…
The crude ostracism detection system
When people are rejected by others, they typically feel an immediate sense of pain—referred to as social pain. Social pain is hypothesized to be the alarm response of a “quick and crude” ostracism detection system, a system that is highly sensitive to even minimal signs of exclusion. Physiological reactivity has been found to accompany this social pain, but it is unclear whether the physiological mechanism underlying the ostracism detection syste…
Locals don't have accents
Children categorize native-accented speakers as local and non-native-accented speakers as foreign, suggesting they use accent (i.e., phonological proficiency) to determine social group membership. However, it is unclear if accent is the strongest – and only – group marker children use to determine social group membership, or whether other aspects of language, such as syntax and semantics, are also important markers. To test this, five- to eight-y…
