“…For the lack of independent effect of group diversity on inter-ethnic dating preferences one can also find examples. Lubbers (2003) found no effect of ethnic class composition on inter-ethnic friendships, and Clark- Ibanez & Felmlee (2004) found no effect of ethnic composition of schools on inter-ethnic dating relationships. However, it should be noticed that the correspondence to this study is not complete, as the key interest here was dating preferences.…”

Interethnic dating preferences of Roma and non-Roma secondary school students

Adolescent romantic relationships are sources of social influence concerning educational achievement and delinquent behavior. Integrated schooling is known to induce inter-ethnic friendship relations, however, it also creates the opportunity of inter-ethnic dating. Based on contact theory, inter-ethnic personal relationships or long-term exposure decreases ethnic prejudice, thus it is proposed that willingness to date between ethnic groups may also increase. The question arises, whether in the school context exposure is enough for this mechanism to emerge, or personal contact is necessary. It must be also taken into account, that romantic relationships are embedded in status relations within schools. Previous studies on intermarriage and homogamy found a "social exchange" mechanism, that lower status members of majority groups are more likely to choose minority partners. Translated to the adolescent society, it is assumed, that the less popular members of the majority groups are those, who are more willing to form inter-ethnic dating relations. To address the above questions empirically, the first wave of the Hungarian network panel "Wired into EachOther" was analyzed, containing data of 1214 9th grade students in 43 classes of seven secondary schools. Inter-ethnic dating preferences of Roma and non-Roma students were measured by dyadic attribution of physical attractiveness, and nominations of willingness to date. Statistical analysis was carried out using multilevel p2 models. They suggest that mixed groups are not sufficient, but personal contacts are necessary to decrease same ethnicity preferences in dating. An additional tendency is that among majority students, those who are isolated from the friendship networks are the ones who are more willing to date with the minority group.

“…Scholars of social networks analyzed the effect of interracial friendship relations, as previous studies suggested that peer acceptance contributes to educational motivation and success, decreases the probability of drop-out (Lubbers 2003), and close interracial friendships influence racial attitudes (Powers & Ellison 1995).…”

The article discusses the specific character of changes in the assessment of the sense of social integration in the classroom between primary school third-and sixth-graders, and their social, demographic and cognitive determinants, with special consideration given to a pupil's position in the sociometric network. The analysis of latent growth curves -based on a scalar longitudinal measurement invariance, the bifactor model of the Perceived Peer Integration Questionnaire (PPI) and three rounds of the nationwide study School determinants of educational effectiveness (N = 4349) -indicates that the second stage of learning in primary school is characterised by a more negative perception of peer integration in classroom settings, which cannot be explained by socio--demographic variables nor the relationships taking place within peer networks. This indicates that it may be linked to developmental changes rather than to the actual deterioration of peer relations.

“…Therefore, one could presume that similarity in race is a less important selection criteria in such situations, than in case of homogeneous class settings (Lubbers, 2003). Based on this theory, there are some criteria necessary for the positive effects of direct contacts: status equality between groups, cooperative interdependence, and explicit support for mixing from authorities in the setting (Moody, 2001).…”

“…Patrons also argue that peer acceptance gives students a sense of participation in school, belonging to a community and access to certain social resources (Lubbers, 2003). By providing companionship and setting behavioural examples, they can increase each other's motivation and school success (Wigfield et al, 1998) as well as lower the probability of dropping out (Hymel et al, 1996) Nonetheless, the possible beneficial impact that cross-race friendships could provide to individuals and to the society may be hindered if these relationships fail to develop or persist over time.…”
