Abstract

While classmates have been identified as important socializing agents in relation to adolescents’ prejudice, there is limited understanding of how popularity status plays into classroom transmission of prejudicial attitudes. Drawing on theories of social influence, we used a three-wave panel of Swedish adolescents (N = 941, aged 13–15) to examine the role of sociometric and prestige popular classmates in the development of adolescents’ anti-immigrant attitudes. Multilevel repeated measurement models revealed positive relationships between popular and individual prejudice; between sociometric prejudice and the level and rate of change; and between prestige prejudice and wave-to-wave shifts in individual prejudice. Overall, we found sociometrically popular classmates to be more influential in relation to adolescents’ prejudice. Additionally, we found the effect of sociometric prejudice to be more pronounced if political issues were frequently discussed in the classroom.

喜欢那些酷孩子吗？受欢迎的同学在青少年反移民态度发展中的作用

虽然同学已被确定为与青少年偏见有关的重要社交媒介，但人们对受欢迎程度如何影响偏见态度的课堂传播的理解有限。根据社会影响理论，我们使用瑞典青少年(N = 941, 13-15岁)的三波面板来检验社会计量学和声望受欢迎的同学在青少年反移民态度发展中的作用。多层次重复测量模型揭示了大众偏见与个体偏见之间的正相关关系;社会计量偏见与变化水平和速度之间的关系在声望偏见和个人偏见的波动之间。总的来说，我们发现在社会计量学上受欢迎的同学对青少年的偏见更有影响。此外，我们发现，如果在课堂上经常讨论政治问题，社会计量偏见的影响会更加明显。
