▪️Title: “Early Steps in Social Cognition: How Children Navigate Social Differences with Others”

▪️Speaker: Mioko Sudo  (Assistant Professor, HIAS)

▪️Abstract: Discrimination, prejudice, and other forms of intergroup tension remain substantial challenges in our increasingly globalized world. The roots of such intergroup tension may be present in early childhood—from a preschool age, children exhibit a social bias whereby they tend to prefer and favor individuals belonging to their own social categories (e.g., gender, race, culture) over those belonging to different social categories. In this talk, I will present findings from two studies demonstrating that, while Japanese children may exhibit the aforementioned social bias, they also recognize that shared interests can help bridge differences across social categories. This suggests that identifying commonalities with those from different social categories can open pathways to connection from early in childhood. However, drawing on preliminary findings from a third study, I will additionally discuss that acknowledging differences can also be critical for children to engage in effective interactions across social boundaries, such as avoiding assumptions that cultural norms familiar in one’s own society extends to others from different cultural backgrounds.
