In doing so, we found there was the sort of double jeopardy faced by Black and Latino boys. And we asked them to tell us whether they would refer the student to the principal's office or not, and to tell us a bit about themselves and their schools they actually teach in. And we basically asked the teachers who were randomly assigned to see a video of either a Black, Latino or white student, to describe in text what they saw. We captured these video clips, and we showed them to teachers around the country. And they were all taking class tests at the time. And so we showed these video clips of students and they were situated in normal classrooms, so they had about 25 peers around them. And we used videos to capture students of different racial ethnic backgrounds, committing the same routine misbehavior in classroom settings. So nothing really extreme, but things like defiance or non compliance, disrespect, things that fall into that sort of category of routine behavioral infractions. JO: So the way that I went about doing the study was to think about how it is that teachers perceive routine misbehavior. WSHU: Your study found that Black boys are more likely to get in trouble than their white peers for the same behavior. WSHU’s Molly Ingram spoke with the study’s author Jayanti Owens, assistant professor of organizational behavior at the Yale School of Management, about her research that shows Black boys are more likely to be punished for acting out at school compared to their white classmates. A Yale study shows Black boys are more likely to be punished than their white classmates for the same behavior.
