This study, based on qualitative and quantitative methods, concludes that loose-knit peer groups encourage interracial interaction, whereas cliques do not. The conceptual significance of loose-knit groups is that they are midway in intimacy between the classroom and cliques, and thus an important intermediate stage in the progression of "race" relations. A practical implication is that knitness is a useful indicator of the effects of the formal organization on voluntary race relations
