美国多数（欧洲裔美国人）和少数民族（非洲裔美国人，拉丁裔美国人，亚裔美国人）的儿童进行了采访，关于种族和非种族的原因排除4（第），在跨种族的同龄人的情况下（N = 685），平均分为9，12和15岁（4，7（第）和10（第）级）参加13所美国公立学校的性别。所有儿童都用道德理由来判断基于种族的排斥是错误的。相比之下，非种族的原因，如缺乏共同的利益，父母的不适，和同伴的压力被认为是更错误的少数民族儿童比多数儿童。所有参与者的这种模式随着年龄的增长而下降。此外，少数民族儿童更有可能期望种族排斥发生，这表明种族背景，社会经验和年龄显着相关的跨种族的同龄人的动机排斥的解释。
US majority (European-American) and minority (African-American, Latin-American, AsianAmerican) children were interviewed regarding race-based and non-race based reasons for exclusion 4(th), in interracial peer contexts (N = 685), evenly divided by gender at 9, 12, and 15 years of age (4, 7(th), and 10(th) grades) attending 13 US public schools. All children judged race-based exclusion as wrong using moral reasons. In contrast, non-race based reasons such as lack of shared interests, parental discomfort, and peer pressure were viewed as more wrong by minority children than by majority children. This pattern decreased with age for all participants. Further minority children were more likely to expect that racial exclusion occurs, indicating that ethnic background, social experience, and age are significantly related to interpretations of interracial peer motives for exclusion.
