Question: How can I make notes with bullet points in this paragraph? Wearing the right clothes also makes a difference. In one study, 8- to 12-year-olds in Britain said that children who wore name-brand athletic shoes would be more popular and able to fit in with their peers better than children wearing generic athletic shoes (Elliott & Leonard, 2004). They also claimed that they would prefer to talk to these children. Children from a majority ethnic group are more popular too; they blend in because they are similar to most of their classmates. In a study of 7th graders in Indonesia, for example, boys in the two majority ethnic groups (Sundanese and Javanese) were less lonely than boys in minority groups (Eisenberg et al., 2009). In a study of U.S. children in child care, similarly, children who lacked peers with a shared ethnic heritage struggled with peer interactions (Howes et al., 2008). Need Assignment Help?
