Are Kids Less Biased Than Adults? | Reverse Assumptions

It’s certainly easier to make assumptions about people than it is to spend time getting to know someone. We wanted to put assumptions to the test to see what we're missing out on because we're so busy assuming we already "know" a person. Join us as we discover why you should never judge a book by it’s cover in our series, Reverse Assumptions.
We are all conditioned with certain biases. In this experiment, we challenged these biases by asking people to make assumptions about their partner's appearance without ever actually seeing their partner. When they flipped around to finally face each other, they were shocked by how wrong they were.
Now it's YOUR turn. What do people assume about you?

[@FreedomStrider]

Children are much less biased, they are so much more open-minded about everything, adults are more often than not set in their ways of thinking and doing something that they are resistant when change approaches.

[@anthonyt425]

So damn true. 💯

[@jasoncollins7941]

Their brains are also not nearly developed as adults

[@froyokid]

I disagree. A lot are biased and ignorant by the time they are 7 because of their parents and the media. It really doesnt take that long to brainwash them.

[@FreedomStrider]

That is true. The kids in the video would already carry a lot of bias, exactly as you say. I was thinking that while watching, but that those not mean that they are as bias as their parents (yet) hence that would make them less bias overall. Since children grow to be biased, they are not born bias, they would naturally be less bias the younger they are. Though I must be fair and say that the workshop in the video doesn't prove the question - at the very least you need a comparison conversation to the adults and more controlling factors to actually say one way or the other.

[@christinnordberg]

Wait...how can they be biased when they haven’t even seen the person? To name their race is part of the game, to describe what the other person looks like without seeing them...like what. Are they assuming the adults are “racist” and the kids aren’t? And how would you see racism through this video??? I’m CONFUSED

[@SearchingForTimothy]

I think it’s interesting how the two racially diverse kids mentioned race as a descriptor, however the “seemingly” white kids did not. I would guess it’s because minority children are socialized to conceptualize race, skin color, etc.

[@Naamy19X9]

I did not even catch that.

[@rea8585]

While the experience might be biased by the awkwardness of being filmed in a studio, and probably around adults -which are tall and impressive for this adorable children, it is still interesting to notice that we make assumptions bade *ONLY ON THE VOICE* of a person. I can't even imagine how many assumptions we make when we see someone... Sexe, race, style, posture, you name it! One eyedrop is enough to transform us into judgmental assumption monsters!

[@animesins2252]

I wouldn’t say that’s a bad thing though. As humans being judgmental, biased, making assumptions, it’s all apart of us. We grow up thinking differently, living differently, expressing ourselves differently. And with that comes different opinions and outlooks which in turn makes us judge each other. In some cases it’s bad but in others it’s good.

[@millykay3209]

Honestly I think children are generally more bias than adults. Possibly less judgemental and times but they are more bias as they attach to their parents thoughts and beliefs. They don’t have the Independence to to have they’re own full opinion on situations

[@emanuel9063]

milly kay that’s why teens are the best they grow away from their parents thoughts and ideas

[@MyaHazes]

So, of hey attach to their parents opinion more than the parent is more biased. The kid is just learning it.

[@savagefarmert]

exactly, people make children out to be angels when it comes to morality and everything nice

[@emanuel9063]

Degare yeah that’s what I was trying to say, at first kids blindfully just follow everything their parents say and think but as we get older we start to have opinions of our own sometimes they’re similar to our parents and sometimes they’re not

How cute are they😘. Still sad that "color" is an issue, but that's the climate we remain in. On a brighter final note, I am definitely showing my age but when she said "wanna floss", I thought "what the heck, does she want to be a dentist"😂😂😂😂

[@gabriellunoch6346]

Angel A I disagree. It’s perfectly natural for a child not recognizing the race of another child they are interacting with to want to know. What’s great is that he felt no awkwardness in asking and was polite, not feeling the need to make a joke or lighten the mood or explain the reason behind the question as an adult might do. The girls response was not angry or offended as some adults may have been, she did not think it rude or odd, she just answered. Plain and simple. Now if adults could just learn not to read something in everything too.

[@Animemaniacman]

I don't think the kids saw color as an "issue". Just an unimportant feature like age or anything else they asked.

[@jx7991]

it wasnt an "issue" it was a description
