The Effect of Initial Bias on the Suitability of Adoptive Parents
Research has shown that people demonstrate prejudice in selecting job applicants when presented with photographic images of people from different racial groups with resumes. The relationship between prejudice and photographic images of couples of different racial background and sexual orientation was examined. Participants were given packets containing an adoption application and a photograph of a couple who were Caucasian, bi-racial, Middle Eastern, or gay. The participants rated the suitability of the couple as adoptive parents. It is expected that the Caucasian couple will receive higher ratings of suitability than the other couples.
