The effects of social group norms (inclusion vs. exclusion vs. exclusion-plus-relational aggression) and school norms (inclusion vs. no norm) on 7- and 10-year-old children's intergroup attitudes were examined. Children (n = 383) were randomly assigned to a group with an inclusion or exclusion norm, and to 1 of the school norm conditions. Findings indicated that children's out-group attitudes reflected their group's norm but, with increasing age, they liked their in-group less, and the out-group more, if the group had an exclusion norm. The school inclusion norm instigated more positive attitudes toward out-group members, but it did not moderate or extinguish contrary group norms. The use of school norms to counteract the effects of children's social group norms is discussed.
本研究旨在探讨社会群体规范(包容、排斥、排斥加关系攻击)和学校规范(包容、无规范)对 7 至 10 岁儿童群体态度的影响。研究采用随机分组的方式,将 383 名儿童分配到具有包容或排斥规范的群体中,并置于 1 种学校规范条件下。研究结果表明,儿童的外群体态度反映了其所在群体的规范,但随着年龄的增长,如果群体具有排斥规范,他们会更喜欢自己的内群体,而对外群体的态度则更为消极。学校的包容规范会促使儿童对其他群体成员产生更积极的态度,但它并不能调节或消除相反的群体规范。本研究还讨论了利用学校规范来抵消儿童社会群体规范影响的问题。
