Discuss socializing force and shaper of ethnic identity


Problem:

How can I make notes with bullet points in this paragraph?

As children enter adolescence, their peers become another socializing force and shaper of ethnic identity. In high school, most students hang out with members of their own ethnic group. They tend not to know classmates in other ethnic groups well because they see these students more as members of those groups than as individuals (Steinberg et al., 1992). Adolescents who have more contact and friendships with others in their own ethnic group have more stable ethnic identities than adolescents with few same-race friends (Yip et al., 2010). However, it is not simply that peers choose to be with others of similar race, but across time peers influence each other and become more similar to each other in terms of their racial identity (Santos et al., 2017). However, there are positive effects of cross-group contact as well. Adolescents who have more extensive contact with members of other ethnic groups in school tend to develop more mature ethnic identities and more favorable attitudes toward people of other ethnicities (Phinney et al., 1997) even if the contact with other groups was only online (Tynes et al., 2008). The most effective route to increasing positive attitudes toward members of another ethnic group, however, is by the development of friendships with members of another group (Davies et al., 2011).
