摘要
In this article, I consider how two aspects of societysocial categories (in particular, gender and race) and social statusguide young children's preferences. Research on children's social categories reveals that gender-based social preferences emerge earlier than race-based preferences. Recent studies also show that children are attuned to social status, and the association of race with status differences could explain why race influences children's social preferences. I conclude with questions and suggestions for research.
