| Abstract: | A study was conducted among Black, Mexican American and Anglo college students to determine the subjective reasons involved in the decision to engage in interethnic dating. Results indicated that reasons for dating someone of another ethnic group were similar to those which are common to intraethnic dating. However, many of the reasons against such dating appeared to be very different. Overall, it appears that reasons for intergroup dating can be best explained normatively while reasons against intergroup dating are best understood structurally. |
