本文从几个不同的方面探讨了民族间的关系。它侧重于来自不同种族背景的中学生之间的友谊和负面联系，介绍和衡量种族的两个不同方面：自我宣布的种族，以及基于同伴感知的种族。首先对匈牙利的中学学生进行了单独应用，然后对两个族裔群体组成的样本进行了合并应用：罗姆族和非罗姆族匈牙利人（N=420）。分别使用截面指数随机图模型为16个教室的友谊和消极关系建模，然后使用元分析总结各个模型。基于社会认同的方法，我们预测，种族间的友谊是不太可能的，和负面的关系更有可能，比那些在种族群体内，和大多数学生拒绝他们的少数民族同龄人比其他方式。此外，少数民族学生被要求排斥那些他们认为是少数民族但同时又认同多数民族的人，因为这些同学在他们看来可能是他们“原”民族的“叛徒”。结果大多证实了我们的假设，强调感知种族的作用：大多数学生往往不喜欢同龄人，他们认为是少数民族，无论这些同龄人的自我宣布的种族;另一方面，少数民族学生可能会发送友谊提名对他们认为少数民族的同学，如果这些也宣布自己为少数民族，但正如预测，负面提名，如果这些宣布自己为多数。这支持了我们的一般想法，即不同的种族方面可能会以不同的方式影响友谊和负面关系，而某人种族分类的不一致可能在社会排斥中发挥重要作用。(C)2015 Elsevier B.

This paper investigates several different aspects of inter-ethnic relationships. It focuses on friendships and negative ties between secondary school students from different ethnic backgrounds, introducing and measuring two different aspects of ethnicity: self-declared ethnicity, and ethnicity based on peer perception. These are first applied separately and then together on a sample of secondary school students in Hungary consisting of two ethnic groups: Roma and non-Roma Hungarian (N=420). Friendships and negative ties are modelled using cross-sectional exponential random graph models for sixteen classrooms separately, and then individual models are summarized using meta-analysis. Based on the social identity approach, we predict that inter-ethnic friendships are less likely, and negative ties are more likely, than those within ethnic groups; and that majority students reject their minority peers more than the other way around. Moreover, minority students are expected to exclude those whom they perceive as minorities, but who, at the same time, identify with the majority group, since these classmates might seem to them as "traitors" of their "original" ethnic group. Results mostly confirm our hypotheses, emphasizing the role of perceived ethnicity: majority students tend to dislike peers whom they perceive as minorities, regardless of these peers' self-declared ethnicity; on the other hand, minority students are likely to send friendship nominations towards their perceived minority classmates if these also declare themselves as minorities, but, as predicted, negative nominations if these declare themselves as majorities. This supports our general idea that different ethnicity aspects might influence friendships and negative ties in different ways, and inconsistencies in someone's ethnic categorization might play an important role in social rejection.
