The present study investigated how Black and White American children, ages 6 to 9.5 years and 9.5 to 12 years (N = 219, M = 9.18 years, SD = 1.90; 51% female) evaluated vignettes in which peers included a same- or cross-race peer in a high-intimacy or low-intimacy context. These data were collected from 2021 to 2022. Children expected characters to be less likely to include cross-race peers in high- than low-intimacy contexts. They also evaluated cross-race exclusion more negatively in high- and low-intimacy contexts. Black participants evaluated cross-race exclusion more negatively than did White participants. Older participants were more likely to personally include a cross-race peer. This study is a first step toward understanding the role of intimacy in cross-race peer relationships.
本研究调查了年龄在6至9.5岁和9.5至12岁的美国黑人和白人儿童（N = 219，M = 9.18岁，标准差 = 1.90；51%为女性）如何评估一些小场景，其中同龄人在高亲密度或低亲密度情境中包含了同种族或跨种族的同龄人。这些数据是在2021年至2022年收集的。孩子们预计，在高亲密度情境中，角色比起低亲密度情境更不可能包含跨种族的同龄人。他们在高亲密度和低亲密度情境中对跨种族排斥的评价也更负面。黑人参与者对跨种族排斥的评价比白人参与者更负面。年龄较大的参与者个人更有可能包含一个跨种族的同龄人。这项研究是迈向理解亲密度在跨种族同伴关系中作用的第一步。
