Popis: We are dealing with different entities, they form patterns of behaviour and pupils may belong to different socio-cultural segments through the origin, language, religion, values, mentalities and attitudes towards the world. In our community the Romanians the majority and they are living with Hungarian, Germans, Gypsies, the Hungarians being the most representative ethno-cultural group in Tirgu Mures (from Transylvania, Romania).The purpose of our research is to capture in what way this multicultural school environment influences the adolescents in perceiving people from another culture, taking in consideration the ethnic criteria. In order to reveal the perception between Romanian and Hungarian teenagers, we have applied the “Social Distance” Test, inspired from the research of Bogardus. The “Social distance” reveals the behavioural intentions, the degree of acceptance of people from two different ethno-cultural groups.
