在意大利的外国人越来越多的影响之一是越来越多的移民子女的存在。将一个工人群体转变为一个人口群体，首先要从分析融合进程的角度出发。在所有可用于实证描述这一过程的因素中，对友谊关系的分析使用了一种尚未被广泛探索且充满有趣含义的视角。本地和外国学生就读的学校是分析社会关系的一个特殊观察站。由于2006年对意大利外国人最多的地区伦巴第的17 000多名一年级中学生（意大利和外国学生）进行了调查，本研究旨在调查学校课堂内外观察到的友谊关系。特别是，注意力集中在行为者（学生）的特点（个人和移民）如何支持种族间的社会关系。在本文中，我们使用统计模型来分析封闭的友谊网络。这种方法使我们能够估计的演员和结构的影响友谊关系的存在。结果主要表明，学生更喜欢与像自己的同学互动，即使学校班级是移民儿童和本地学生接触的特权场所，因此鼓励种族间的关系。Giulia RIVELLINI，天主教大学统计科学系人口学副教授，Largo Gemelli 1，20123-米兰，意大利。电子邮件：giulia. unicatt.it。Laura TERZERA，米兰比可卡大学统计系人口学副教授，Via Bicocca degli Arcimboldi 8，20126-米兰，意大利。电子邮件：laura. unimib.it。Viviana AMATI，博士后研究员，康斯坦茨大学计算机与信息科学系，Box 67，78457-德国康斯坦茨。电子邮件：viviana. uni-konstanz.de
One of the effects of the increasing number of foreigners in Italy is the growing presence of immigrants’ children. The transformation of a group of workers into a population involves a perspective aimed above all at analysing integration processes. Among all the factors useful for empirically describing this process, the analysis of friendship relationships uses a perspective that is not yet widely explored and full of interesting implications. The schools attended by native and foreign pupils represent a privileged observatory to analyse social relationships. Thanks to a survey conducted during 2006 on over 17,000 pupils (Italian and foreign) attending first grade secondary school in Lombardy, the most foreign-populated region in Italy, this study intends to investigate the friendship relationships observed inside and outside school classrooms. In particular, the attention is focused on how the actors’ (pupils) characteristics (individual and migratory) support inter-ethnic social relations. In this paper, we use statistical models for the analysis of closed friendship networks. This approach enables us to estimate the actors’ and structural effects on the friendship ties’ presence. The results mainly show that pupils prefer to interact with classmates who are like themselves, even if school classes are privileged places where children of migrants and native pupils come in contact, and therefore where inter-ethnic relationships are encouraged.
