Confidence in Contact: A New Perspective on Promoting Cross-Group Friendship Among Children and Adolescents (2016, unknown): “Children who hold cross-group friendships also show greater leadership potential and are more popular (Kawabata & Crick, 2008; Lease & Blake, 2005).”
Cross-ethnic friendships: Are they really rare? Evidence from secondary schools around London (2014, unknown): “…empathy and self-disclosure among members of different groups (Turner, Hewstone, & Voci, 2007), in addition to providing the typical benefits of friendships by increasing social competence and skills, adjustment and satisfaction in the school environment (Hunter & Elias, 1999; Lease & Blake, 2005).”
Children’s cross-ethnic friendships: Why are they less stable than same-ethnic friendships? (2013, background): “…behaviour (Eisenberg, Fabes, Miller, & Shell, 1990) and children who display prosocial behaviour are more likely to have cross-ethnic friendships (Aboud & Levy, 2000; Lease & Blake, 2005) and to maintain cross-ethnic friendships once established (Eisenberg et al., 2009; Kawabata & Crick, 2011).”
