关于少数族裔青年中感受到的同龄人歧视的发展方面的突出研究有限。从童年中期到青春期，人们对感知到的同龄人歧视的发展轨迹知之甚少。道德集中的社区被认为是为了保护少数族裔年轻人免受歧视，但缺乏强有力的实证测试。目前这项研究的第一个目的是估计从童年中期到青春期，随着年轻人从小学过渡到初中和高中，被感知到的同伴歧视的轨迹。第二个目的是研究随着时间的推移，邻里种族集中与感受到的同龄人歧视之间的关系。通过对749名墨西哥裔青少年(48.9%为女性)的不同样本的研究，一系列成长模型显示，与出生在美国的青少年相比，在墨西哥出生的青少年在五年级时感觉到更高的歧视，并随着时间的推移而下降。邻里种族集中度平均水平较高的青少年(在整个发展阶段)感受到的同龄人歧视随着时间的推移而减少；那些邻里种族集中度平均水平较低的青少年显示出增加的轨迹。此外，当个人在自己所在社区的种族集中度水平(相对于他们自己的跨时间平均水平)增加时，他们报告的同龄人歧视水平较低。社区种族集中的发现不能用年轻人在学校种族集中所经历的同时变化来解释。这一结果支持了一种文化知情的同辈歧视发展观，该观点认识到共同种族邻里环境中的差异性。这一结果推动了一种观点，即种族飞地可以保护人们免受主流威胁。
Developmentally salient research on perceived peer discrimination among minority youths is limited. Little is known about trajectories of perceived peer discrimination across the developmental period ranging from middle childhood to adolescence. Ethically concentrated neighborhoods are hypothesized to protect minority youths from discrimination, but strong empirical tests are lacking. The first aim of the current study was to estimate trajectories of perceived peer discrimination from middle childhood to adolescence, as youths transitioned from elementary to middle and to high school. The second aim was to examine the relationship between neighborhood ethnic concentration and perceived peer discrimination over time. Using a diverse sample of 749 Mexican origin youths (48.9% female), a series of growth models revealed that youths born in Mexico, relative to those born in the U.S., perceived higher discrimination in the 5th grade and decreases across time. Youths who had higher averages on neighborhood ethnic concentration (across the developmental period) experienced decreases in perceived peer discrimination over time; those that had lower average neighborhood ethnic concentration levels showed evidence of increasing trajectories. Further, when individuals experienced increases in their own neighborhood ethnic concentration levels (relative to their own cross-time averages), they reported lower levels of perceived peer discrimination. Neighborhood ethnic concentration findings were not explained by the concurrent changes youths were experiencing in school ethnic concentrations. The results support a culturally-informed developmental view of perceived peer discrimination that recognizes variability in co-ethnic neighborhood contexts. The results advance a view of ethnic enclaves as protective from mainstream threats.
