The present study aims to investigate the relationship of social norms in the expression of prejudice in children from 5 to 8 years old. The central idea of the work is that the recognition of general rules/norms by the children is directly connected to moral and cognitive development, taking them to also recognize the anti-racist social norms. This recognition is fundamental because the variations of expression of prejudice by children are connected to the identification and acceptance process (internalization) of antiracist social norm. In order to achieve the initial goal, 80 white children from 5 to 8 years old of both genders were investigated - about their knowledge of morality, social norms and prejudice. The form of evaluation was made from an union of parts of 4 instruments already validated. The instrument formed is all didactic and with illustrative material, because the research is conducted with children and is necessary to keep their attention. Some predictions have guided this work: a) From the age of seven, children demonstrate safely the recognition of general rules; b) The norms of the participants themselves (personal norms) for white and black groups did not differ from norms of the reference group (social norms) for these groups; c) participants aged over seven years old tend to discriminate against black target in the absence of the interviewer and not in the presence. The results are discussed in the light of the theories of social norms and racism in childhood and in conclusion, it is stated that this research presents a collaboration for the development of theories about social norm and the influence of the norm in the forms of expression of racial prejudice.
