Le psychologue Kenneth Clark, concepteur du fameux test de la poupée il y a soixante ans.
Psychologist Kenneth B. Clark is best known for his studies on race relations, most of which were conducted with his wife, psychologist Mamie Phipps Clark. While working at City College of New York they developed their famous "doll tests," in which children were given black and white dolls to play with, and asked to indicate which dolls they would prefer to play with. The tests were administered to children in several communities of differing economic and racial complexion, and the results showed that regardless of community, black children identified with the black dolls, but that children of either race tended to view the white dolls favorably and the black dolls unfavorably. Clark's results were published in a 1950 paper, "Effects of Prejudice and Discrimination on Personality Development," in which he concluded that institutional discrimination, including racial segregation in public schools, was harmful to the personality and psychological development of black children.
