“…Effects of social exclusion on children's social behaviours evident in Western, socially independent contexts should thus not be generalized outside such contexts unless cross-cultural research including more interdependent contexts supports such generalizations. Indeed, recent research suggests a moderating role of culture, such as variation in social interdependence and independence, on the experience of social exclusion [ 20 , 27 , 28 ].…”

“…Further support for this hypothesis comes from child development research. In a recent study, 3- to 5-year-old preschoolers from socially interdependent Serbia reliably detected third-party exclusion depicted in Over and Carpenter's video stimuli [ 20 ]. However, in contrast with their Western, independent counterparts [ 16 , 17 ], neither did these children engage in more affiliative imitation after being primed with an exclusion, nor did they compose more affiliative drawings in response [ 20 ].…”

“…Once again, these studies suffer from a sampling bias as participants were exclusively recruited and studied in Western, independent societies. Given that cultural values on the social interdependence–independence spectrum are assumed to shape children's responses to social exclusion [ 20 , 27 , 28 ], one may speculate that corresponding effects may apply to children's social inclusion.…”

Priming third-party social exclusion does not elicit children's inclusion of out-group members

This study investigates how culture and priming 3- to 7-year-old children ( N = 186) with third-party social exclusion affects their subsequent inclusion of out-group members. Children in societies that tend to value social independence (Germany, New Zealand) and interdependence (Northern Cyprus) were randomly assigned to minimal groups. Next, they watched video stimuli depicting third-party social exclusion (exclusion condition) or neutral content (control condition). We assessed children's recognition of the social exclusion expressed in the priming videos and their understanding of the emotional consequences thereof. We furthermore assessed children's inclusion behaviour in a ball-tossing game in which participants could include an out-group agent into an in-group interplay. Children across societies detected third-party social exclusion and ascribed lower mood to excluded than non-excluded protagonists. Children from Germany and New Zealand were more likely to include the out-group agent into the in-group interaction than children from Northern Cyprus. Children's social inclusion remained unaffected by their exposure to third-party social exclusion primes. These results suggest that children from diverse societies recognize social exclusion and correctly forecast its negative emotional consequences, but raise doubt on the notion that social exclusion exposure affects subsequent social inclusion.

Theoretical and empirical scholars of cultural evolution have traditionally studied social learning strategies, such as conformity, as adaptive strategies to obtain accurate information about the environment, whereas within social psychology there has been a greater focus upon the social consequences of such strategies. Although these two approaches are often used in concert when studying human social learning, we believe the potential social benefits of conformity, and of social learning more broadly, have been overlooked in studies of non‐humans. We review evidence from studies of homophily, imitation, and rapid facial mimicry that suggests that behaving like others affords social benefits to non‐human animals and that behaviour matching may be deployed strategically to increase affiliation. Furthermore, we review studies of conformity in dispersers, and suggest that forgoing personal information or preferences in favour of those of the new group during immigration may be a strategy to facilitate social integration. We therefore propose that the informational and social functions of conformity apply to humans and animals alike. We use this perspective to generate several interesting research questions to inspire work in this field. For example, under what conditions do animals use informational or social conformity and what role does uncertainty play in social learning in immigrant individuals?
