| summary | Societal hierarchies between groups are prevalent and deeply impactful. In this talk, I will present evidence that children begin learning about, representing, and participating in societal hierarchies starting early in life. I will first discuss abstract mechanisms through which children initially build representations of social group hierarchies, with a focus on children’s learning from patterns in others’ social choices. Next, I will show that real-world patterns of who tends to be chosen for leadership roles become reflected in children’s early gendered and race-based thinking about whom leadership is ‘for.’ From there, I will discuss how children become involved in the hierarchies they learn about, focusing on the emergence of individual differences in young children’s sociopolitical worldviews. I will conclude with future directions exploring how children’s local contexts and specific lived experiences shape their thinking about—and responses!
to—societal hierarchies and inequities between groups. |
