Abstract

Socioeconomic status (SES) predicts many facets of preadolescents' life opportunities, yet little is known about how children perceive SES and whether it plays a role in their group evaluations. This study examined preadolescents' socioeconomic understandings and biases (investigated presenting fictitious peers varying in SES), while separating the three SES-indicators income, education and occupation. Five classes (Grade 4-6) with 89 students (Mage = 10.44, SD = 0.93; 40% female) participated. Overall, preadolescents understood that the SES indicators income, education and occupation are related to each other. At the same time, they differentiated between the indicators in their group evaluations; they showed a positive bias for peers with high-educated parents, whereas for occupation and income there was no clear overall bias. This shows that differences between SES indicators are meaningful for children, which emphasizes the importance to distinguish between specific SES-indicators when studying the role of SES for preadolescents' social life.

社会经济地位在青春期前的作用：基于收入、教育和职业的理解和群体评价。

社会经济地位（SES）预示着青春期前儿童生活机会的许多方面，但人们对儿童如何看待社会经济地位以及社会经济地位是否在他们的群体评价中发挥作用却知之甚少。本研究考察了青春期前儿童对社会经济的理解和偏见（通过呈现不同社会经济地位的虚构同伴进行调查），同时将收入、教育和职业这三个社会经济指标分开。五个班级（4-6 年级）的 89 名学生（Mage = 10.44，SD = 0.93；女生占 40%）参加了调查。总体而言，学前儿童了解到社会经济地位指标中的收入、教育和职业是相互关联的。同时，他们在进行小组评价时会区分不同的指标；他们对父母受过高等教育的同龄人表现出积极的偏向，而对职业和收入则没有明显的整体偏向。这表明，社会经济地位指标之间的差异对儿童来说是有意义的，这就强调了在研究社会经济地位对青少年社会生活的作用时，区分具体的社会经济地位指标的重要性。
