Abstract
Class awareness on three dimensions (cognitive, behavioral, and evaluative) was tested among 216 children in grades one, four, and six of a public school system. On the cognitive test (perception of social differences), age and sex were found to be related to performance. On the behavioral test (recognition of behavioral correlates to cognitive cues), age, social class, and IQ are related to performance. The evaluative test (attachment of evaluations on the basis of cognitive cues), shows no significant results. Possible reasons for this are discussed.Keywords
