Abstract
Using data for the United States, we explore how interactions with immigrants during school age affect imagination during adulthood for native children. The analysis uses The National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health survey and focuses on the impact of differences in the number of immigrants across cohorts within schools. Results suggest that exposure to immigrant classmates has positive effects on the long-term imagination of natives. Increasing the number of immigrants in the grade by 20 students, would increase the likelihood of reporting a high level of imagination during adulthood by three percentage points. We suggest that the effect is not coming via direct friendship with immigrant students, but through increasing exposure to diverse ideas and experiences.
我们利用美国的数据，探讨了学龄期与移民的互动如何影响本地儿童成年后的想象力。分析采用了《全国青少年到成人健康纵向研究》（National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health）调查，重点关注学校内不同组群中移民数量差异的影响。结果表明，接触移民同学对本地人的长期想象力有积极影响。如果年级中的移民人数增加 20 人，那么成年后报告想象力丰富的可能性就会增加 3 个百分点。我们认为，这种影响不是通过与移民学生的直接友谊产生的，而是通过增加接触不同思想和经验的机会产生的。
