\n Prospective teachers cannot read black children\u2019s faces as well as white kids\u2019 and more frequently misinterpret black girls and boys to be angry when they are not, according to new research.<\/p>\n

A study published July 2 in the journal \u201cEmotion\u201d came to this disturbing conclusion about the phenomenon, called \u201cracialized anger bias,\u201d after documenting how future educators interpreted kids\u2019 facial expressions.<\/p>\n

\u201cRacialized anger bias means that people are seeing anger where none exists,\u201d study co-author and North Carolina State University psychology professor Amy Halberstadt says in a press release.<\/p>\n

Previous research had already confirmed that black adults experience racialized anger bias, but the new study finds the phenomenon also happ<\/a>ens to black children, with black girls mistaken to be angry more often than black boys.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlthough never statistically examined before, the misperceptions of black girls\u2019 anger verifies qualitative research of black girls\u2019 and women\u2019s experiences, that they too are seen as angry when they are not,\u201d says Halberstadt.<\/p>\n

The study looked at 178 prospective teachers \u2014 89% of whom were women and 70% of whom were white, the same gender and race ratio of US public school teachers general<\/a>ly \u2014 from three Southeast teacher training programs.<\/p>\n

The prospective teachers were asked to identify the emotion displayed in 72 clips of black and white child actors\u2019 facial expressions. Participants, researchers found, were 1.16 times more likely to mistake black boys as angry and 1.74 times more likely to mistake black girls as angry, compared to white boys and girls.<\/p>\n

\u201cEssentially, we found that prospective teachers are more likely to view black children as being angry, even when they\u2019re not,\u201d says Halberstadt.<\/p>\n

Participants also took a questionnaire to assess their conscious and subconscious racial biases, but study authors found no correlation between increased bias and increased misinterpretation of black children\u2019s facial expressions for anger. More biased participants, however, were found to interpret white children as being less angry.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe more biased prospective teachers were, the more likely those prospective teachers were to give white children the benefit of the doubt. In other words, if the teacher had higher levels of explicit or implicit racial bias, they were a bit more likely to give white kids a \u2018free pass,\u2019\u2009\u201d says Halberstadt.<\/p>\n

The study\u2019s findings should be acted on immedia<\/a>tely, authors say, as they are likely contributing to disparities in how black and white children are disciplined in school.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe level of bias we found here could have significant adverse effects on children in classrooms. We already know that black students experience many more suspensions, expulsions and disciplinary actions than white students, often for the same behavior. And this study suggests that misperceiving anger \u2014 even at an unconscious level \u2014 could play a significant role in that disparity,\u201d says Halberstadt. \u201cThis finding highlights the urgent need to address conscious and unconscious bias in educators.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
