Interventions to reduce prejudice and enhance inclusion and respect for ethnic differences in early childhood: A systematic review

In conclusion, the findings were more mixed than expected, though sufficiently strong studies exist to provide lessons for future research. Highlights ► Thirty-two studies evaluating interventions were reviewed and assessed for quality. ► Contact and media/instruction interventions were equally effective. ► Under half the 62 attitude and 59 peer relation effects were positively significant. ► Effects on attitudes of majority ethnic children were largely positive. ► Communication and developmental theories and random assignment designs were lacking.
