Overview

Longitudinal study reveals improved peer integration via sociocultural adaptation in refugee students, highlighting the importance of pro-social behaviors for classroom inclusion.

Key Points

To examine the longitudinal peer network dynamics of Ukrainian refugee students, focusing on friendship and exclusion ties and the roles of socioeconomic status and sociocultural adaptation.
Conducted a longitudinal social network analysis combined with qualitative insights across two time points during the 2022/2023 school year.
Sampled 266 students aged 11–15 (45.11% girls, 21.05% Ukrainian) across 12 Czech classrooms with high proportions of ethnic minority students.
Evaluated the impact of sociocultural adaptation and socioeconomic status on the formation of intra-ethnic and cross-ethnic peer ties.
Ethnic homophily decreased over the school year, demonstrating increased cross-ethnic mixing despite an overall decline in total classroom friendships.
Ukrainian students initially had fewer friendships and showed strong intra-ethnic preferences, but integration disparities lessened significantly over time.
Sociocultural adaptation significantly predicted receiving more friendship ties and fewer exclusion ties, whereas socioeconomic status had no significant effect on cross-ethnic ties.
