My sister requires the name of this study to copamre it within her paper.
(UK) Based around prejudice a primary school teacher gathers the children into a group and tells all the children that "any child amongst you who has blue eyes is superior"
She watched them play and found that within 20 mins of hearing this news the blue eyed children were becoming agressive towards the others.
Any ideas? Sensible answers only please

She gave the blue-eyed kids power and confidence and they now think they are better. It is a mind thing...that teacher shouldn't be telling them that.

Can't remember all the details - but the brown eye/ blue eye theory by Elliot - was an example of self-fulfilling.
