“…Inclusion and exclusion from social groups are highly salient experiences in childhood and adolescence. Individuals who are repeatedly excluded by peers are at risk for a host of negative outcomes, including depression, anxiety, and social withdrawal (Marks et al, 2015; Rivas-Drake et al, 2014). Social exclusion on the basis of group membership such as gender, race, socioeconomic status, religion, or sexual orientation is particularly detrimental (Møller & Tenenbaum, 2011).…”

This study investigated children's and adolescents' predictions regarding intergroup inclusion in contexts where peers differed on two dimensions of group membership: race and wealth. African American and European American participants (N = 153; age range: 8-14 years, M age = 11.46 years) made predictions about whether afterschool clubs would prefer to include a peer based on race or wealth and reported what they personally thought should happen. Between late childhood and early adolescence, European American participants increasingly expected that afterschool clubs would include a samewealth peer (even when this peer was of a different race) whereas African American participants increasingly expected that the afterschool clubs would include a same-race peer (even when this peer was of a different level of wealth). Both European American and African American participants themselves thought that the clubs should include a same-wealth peer over a same-race peer, and with age, were increasingly likely to reference perceived comfort when explaining their decision. Future studies on the development of racial preferences will benefit from including wealth status information given that, with age, perceived comfort was associated with same-wealth rather than same-race status.
