Research Abstract	This research took up two indices about the peer group exclusivity of pupils. One is pupil’s own exclusivity desire, and the other is cognition of exclusive ethic in the peer group which they belong to. Examination was performed about the influence which these two factors have on a feeling of adaptation to the class and the peer group, motivation for learning, etc. As a result of conducting two or more investigations and experiments, it suggested that their exclusivity desire tended to raise a feeling of adaptation, and motivation for learning, and their exclusive ethic tended to lower, conversely. However, school stage and sex were functioning as a mediation factor, and these results were not consistent.
