Abstract: | This study explores the various factors that promote positive interactions across race for African American, Asian American,
Latino, and White college students. A longitudinal survey was administered to all incoming students at nine public institutions
(with a follow-up survey given at the end of their second year), examining activities related to cross-racial interaction
and outcomes. This knowledge will be useful for college administrators, institutional researchers, and faculty as they work
to meet the challenge of preparing students for a pluralistic society. The results of this study begin to delineate the conditions
under which positive intergroup relations can be fostered in college and the key factors that inhibit or restrain the benefits
such interactions bring to the development of students for a diverse workplace and pluralistic democracy. |
