 Early childhood discrimination: A comparison of countriesSilvia Angerer and Tatyana Zhuravleva Journal of Behavioral and Experimental Economics (formerly The Journal of Socio-Economics), 2024, vol. 113, issue C Abstract: The study investigates taste-based discrimination in early childhood in two distinct experimental conditions, gender and preschool class and two countries, Russia and Uzbekistan, using a framed field experiment with more than 500 preschool children aged three to seven years. We extend on previous findings from Western countries by studying two non-Western countries to examine generalizable behavioral traits regarding taste-based discrimination across countries. The results show that out-group discrimination is prevalent in both experimental conditions and in both countries. However, the degree of discrimination and its determinants differ between countries and experimental conditions. The results suggest that discrimination is a generalizable human trait which is shaped by the environment.
