Docs more likely to suspect abuse in poor kids


I would suggest these findings can be traced to both an unconscious, and conscious underlying effect.

One must take into consideration when you break studies such as this down to race, disciplinary actions still happen in minority households more frequently than Whites. This is not saying minorities are intentionally inflicting such "abuse", yet a case can be made that some do, but minority parents use discipline for instilling respect, and right from wrong into their children up into their mid to late teens.

But enough of that opinion from myself. This study suggest there still is that, "In the back of ones mind" perception of people of color. This perception has been shaped throughout the history of mankind's indifference, and instituted prejudices towards others. This perception is one that will never go away, simply because of the fact of human's distrust of not only people of color, but for people of their own same race, no matter the ethnic origins.

So yeah, this does indeed suggest these findings are both, unconscious, and conscious.
