Perhaps the children in the study were co-erced into making a decision that reflects badly on attitudes towards blacks - I noticed that the questions (like so many in studies and surveys) were closed. That is, you HAD to choose a good doll and a bad doll. If the question was framed more along the lines of "does either of these dolls look bad to you" then I be much more accepting of the results as showing a bias. Were the dolls dressed identically, and have their hair styled in the same way? If not, then choices could have been made based on fashion/dress preference.
