They are assumed to guide behavior in demanding situations, including the educational context. Implicit attitudes toward racial minority students could be important in contributing to the disadvantages those students experience in school. This study employed three different measures to investigate implicit attitudes toward racial minority students among preservice teachers.

Results are discussed in their implications for preservice teachers' judgments and behaviors. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. » weiterlesen» einklappen
