Jane Elliott Ran a Study in Her Third Grade Class

Jane Elliott ran a study in her third grade class, in which she told students that they were superior to other students because of their eye color. The results of the study showed that

A) class participation and confidence in academics increased dramatically for the superior eye color group
B) students refused to believe that eye color would influence academic ability
C) performance on a spelling test went up for the superior eye color group and down for students in the inferior eye color group
D) there was no change, as students already believed that certain eye colors were superior
