Cultural group identity and group norms are significantly related to social exclusion evaluations (Bennett, [Bennett, M., 2014]). This study examined 241 Jewish‐American mid ( M  =   14.18 years, SD  = 0.42) to late ( M  =   17.21 years, SD  = 0.43; M ageTOTAL   = 15.54 years, SD  = 1.57) adolescents’ cultural identities and contextually salient perceived group norms in relation to their evaluations of Arab‐American inclusion and exclusion across two contexts (peers vs. family at home). Results suggest that perceived group norms are related to the context in which they are applied: parents in the home and peers in the peer context. Peers remained a significant source of perceived group norms in the home context. Significant interactions emerged between perceived parent group norms and cultural identity. Findings highlight the need to address group‐specific norms by context to ensure maximum effectiveness for intergroup interventions.
