Caught Between Worlds: Social Affects of Dual-groupMembership

Angebote / Angebote:

Utilizing three different experimental settings in a small mid-western elementary school, psychologist Katherine Aumer-Ryan was able to better understand how children navigate their social world when identity issues arose. Children were assigned to two different groups: red and blue. However, some children were assigned to be simultaneously part of both groups. How did these children come to terms with a conflicting social situation and their own identity concerns? Did these children have more friends? Less friends? Were they more cognitively flexible than their single-identity peers? Did the other children in the class accept or reject these children? The research in this book contributes to better understanding how children from multicultural and/or multiracial backgrounds, who have dual-identities are shaped by and shape the world around them.
