New teachers mistakenly assume Black students are angry The big idea: College students who are training to become teachers are 36% more likely to mistakenly believe that a Black child is angry when that child isn’t making an angry face than if a white child makes the same facial expression, according to our new study. We determined this by having a group of 72 Black and white child actors trained by experts to make specific facial muscle movements. For example, to come across as surprised, the children raised their eyebrows and widened their eyes. To convey anger, the children furrowed their eyebrows and tightened their lips. We designed ...

What other research is being done: Previously, researchers had ... Continue reading... https://www.newstimes.com/news/arti...akenly-assume-Black-students-are-15422575.php
Study: Black Children More Likely to Be Seen as Angry By Student-Teachers Compared to White Students A new study found aspiring teachers are more likely to assume Black children are angry even when they are not.
