Abstract

Data came from a longitudinal study, which included three time points, spanning a twelve-month period.
Results of multi-level latent growth curve models showed that among ethnic minority English children (teacher-rated) peer problems and ethnic identity were associated with more friendship homophily whereas a bicultural identity was not related to more friendship homophily.
Among ethnic majority English children the effects of peer problems and English identity were moderated by school ethnic composition, such that these factors were not associated with more friendship homophily in more ethnically diverse schools.
The efindings are discussed based on theories of intergroup contact and intergroup threat.
