This study investigated children's and adolescents' predictions regarding intergroup inclusion in contexts where peers differed on two dimensions of group membership: race and wealth. African American and European American participants ( = 153; age range: 8-14 years, = 11.46 years) made predictions about whether afterschool clubs would prefer to include a peer based on race or wealth and reported what they personally thought should happen. Between late childhood and early adolescence, European American participants increasingly expected that afterschool clubs would include a same-wealth peer (even when this peer was of a different race) whereas African American participants increasingly expected that the afterschool clubs would include a same-race peer (even when this peer was of a different level of wealth). Both European American and African American participants themselves thought that the clubs should include a same-wealth peer over a same-race peer, and with age, were increasingly likely to reference perceived comfort when explaining their decision. Future studies on the development of racial preferences will benefit from including wealth status information given that, with age, perceived comfort was associated with same-wealth rather than same-race status.

本研究调查了儿童和青少年对群体包容的预测，这些群体在两个群体成员维度上存在差异：种族和财富。非裔美国人和欧洲裔美国人参与者（n = 153；年龄范围：8-14 岁，M = 11.46 岁）预测了课外俱乐部会根据种族还是财富来选择接纳一个同伴，并报告了他们个人认为应该发生的事情。从童年后期到青春期早期，欧洲裔美国参与者越来越期望课外俱乐部会接纳一个同财富的同伴（即使这个同伴是不同种族的），而非洲裔美国参与者越来越期望俱乐部会接纳一个同种族的同伴（即使这个同伴的财富水平不同）。欧洲裔美国和非洲裔美国参与者自己都认为俱乐部应该接纳一个同财富的同伴，而不是同种族的同伴，并且随着年龄的增长，他们在解释自己的决定时越来越倾向于提到感知到的舒适感。未来关于种族偏好发展的研究将受益于纳入财富状况信息，因为随着年龄的增长，感知到的舒适感与同财富相关，而不是与同种族相关。（PsycInfo 数据库记录（c）2021 APA，保留所有权利）。
