- Abstract:
- In the present study, the relations between racial identity attitudes, effective meaning of race. Afrocentrism, and dating preferences and behaviors were examined in a sample of 65 adult African Americans. Results indicated that individuals whose salient identity feature is that of being of African descent are more likely to prefer to date and date inter-racially. Individuals who adopt a Black identity and two or more other non-racial identities tend to date inter-racially. Implications of findings as they related to racial identity attitudes, personal beliefs, and interpersonal relationships will be discussed.
