Leipzig: According to previous research, the closeness between people can promote friendship, a recent study conducted at Hungarian schools shows that students seating in addition to each other encourage their tendency to become friends – both for students and partners Same differently in the achievement of education, gender, or ethnic.
The findings of this study were published in the ‘Ploos One’ open access journal.
Safe! You have managed to throw your voteogin to see results per recent study, people also tend to be friends with those who have similar characteristics, such as gender, age and ethnic.
It is not clear how these two phenomena interact; In particular, whether the similarity between individuals affects the effect of closeness in friendship.
To explore this question, Julia Rohrer from the University of Leipzig, Germany, and his colleague conducted an experiment where they created a random class chart for 2,966 students in grade 3 to 8 in 40 schools in the Hungarian country.
The students remained in the chair assigned to one semester, in the end they reported their friendship in a survey.
Analysis of student demographic statistics and friendships reportedly indicate that sitting in addition to each other increases their chances of becoming a reciprocal friend from 15 to 22 percent (increasing 7 percent).
The tendency for friendship increases for all student partners, including those who differ in education, gender, or ethnic (Rome or non-Roma ethnic identity).
However, the researchers found that the number of friendships increased more for a similar student pair versus.
This is because the tendency of basic lines to friendship begins higher for the same students, so their seat besides each other pushes more than they cross the actual threshold together.
Gender is the main driver of this pattern.
The researchers noted that the effects of sitting together for ethnic students of Rome and non-Rome were less certain than students who were different from other ways, especially considering a small number of Rome students in their samples.
However, overall their findings suggest that the task of seating can be an effective tool in promoting diverse friendship, which can help foster social skills and increase attitudes about them in other demographic groups.
Senior writer Felix Elwert said, “Friendship, better or worse.
Having friends increases happiness and health; but the network of friendships also divides people, because humans are mostly friends with them.”
Elwert added, “What’s important, we find that sitting next to each other increases the potential of friendship for all children, regardless of gender, class, or their ethnic background.
This shows that simple intervention (‘light”) can effectively diversify the network friendship.
”
Meeting of the Tamas Keler said, “Even though the teacher has full control over regulating the graph of class seating, inducing friendship with the neglected graph settings is the ignored policy lever.
Our research has highlighted two specific limitations: gender and ethnic differences.”
Keller concluded, “Students in the initial adolescence make friendships with same sex colleagues – features that are difficult to change with a chart intervention of a touch of light touch.
Likewise, the aim of building associations between ethnic groups may require more intensive interventions.”
