To examine the influence of ethnic idenilty and intergroup contact on adolescents' attitudes toward other ethnic groups, we studied eighth and eleventh graders from 2 predominantly non-white school districts. Surveys completed by 547 adolescents from 3 ethnic groups (133 African Americans, 219 Latinos, and 195 Asian Americans) assessed in-group and out-group attitudes, out-group interaction, out-group contact, and ethnic identity. A causal model suggested 2 pathways leading to positive out-group attitudes. In one pathway, ethnic identity increased with age and predicted positive in-group attitudes; these attitudes contributed to positive out-group attitudes. In a separate pathway, ethnic diversity outside of schcool led to more out-group interaction in school, which in turn predicted positive out-group attitudes. The results support developmental and multiculturalism views of intergroup relations.
为了研究种族认同和群体间接触对青少年对其他种族群体态度的影响，我们对来自2个主要为非白人学区的八年级和十一年级学生进行了研究。由来自3个种族群体（133名非裔美国人、219名拉丁裔和195名亚裔美国人）的547名青少年完成的调查问卷评估了内群体和外群体态度、外群体互动、外群体接触以及种族认同。一个因果模型提出了两条通向积极外群体态度的途径。在一条途径中，种族认同随年龄增长而增强，并预测了积极的内群体态度；这些态度促成了积极的外群体态度。在另一条独立途径中，学校之外的种族多样性导致了学校内更多的外群体互动，这反过来又预测了积极的外群体态度。研究结果支持了群体间关系的发展和多元文化主义观点。
