Ethnic categorisations and social context

The project is concerned with the use of ethnic categorizations among Dutch and Turkish children in the Netherlands. Some research topics are: the relative importance of ethnicity in different situations, ethnic self-identification, ethnic ingroup and outgroup evaluations and the ethnic hierarchy. Influences of both the individual (e.g. gender, ethnicity) and the social context (e.g. the ethnic composition of the school class, multicultural education and practices) are examined.
