Which construction has been used to explore interracial romantic appeal?
This study uses integrated constructions from relationship science and intergroup research. In addition, the writers of this article used a design for personal perception in which 124 heterosexual college men indicated their romantic appeal for the dating profiles of three black and three white women. The results showed that the men felt more attracted to women of the same race. It also endorsed that multicultural ideological beliefs were associated with an increased interracial attraction.
What are the most important keywords in this article?
The most important keywords are attractiveness, color blindness, familiarity, interracial, multiculturalism, race and similarity.
What are interracial relationships?
In essence, interracial relationships involve two things. Firstly for intimate partnerships and secondly for microcosmos of intergroup interactions. When these two components are studied independently of each other, they do not offer a full understanding of interracial relationships.
Which components are relevant to feelings of attraction?
Similarity and familiarity are relevant, regardless of whether someone is investigating attraction in platonic relationships such as friendships or romantic relationships. Similarity is important because we are attracted to people who share our qualities, values and goals. Ras is an explicit agreement that influences attractiveness. It appears to be a significant predictor of attractiveness.
What is the ideological asymmetry hypothesis of Sidanius, Pratto and Rabinowitz (1994) about?
This hypothesis assumes that the impact of ideologies differs between groups with high status and groups with low status. Group separation can be maintained by the various positions within the social hierarchy.
What does the abbreviation CBRI stand for?
This abbreviation stands for color-blind racial ideology. This ideology is seen as a dominant racial belief at the current moment in history. It is a legitimizing ideology because it denies the impact of race in a society.
What purpose did the researchers have with this research?
The researchers aimed to investigate the role of relationship constructions and intergroup ideologies about interracial romantic appeal. In particular the influence of similarity, familiarity and integgroup ideologies on the feelings of attraction of black and white people.
Which main hypotheses do the researchers test?
The researchers opted for four main hypotheses, namely:
- Men experience more attraction to women of the same race.
- Greater contact between different races leads to a greater attraction for women of a different race.
- A hierarchy-promoting ideology such as CBRI is a negative predictor of interracial attraction in white men and a positive predictor in black men.
- A positive predictor of interracial attraction for black and white men is a hierarchy-weakening ideology, such as multiculturalism.
Which materials did the researchers use for their research?
All participants in the study were shown eight dating profiles of different women (three black women, three white women, one Asian woman and one latina).
How was romantic attraction measured during this study?
The researchers measured the romantic appeal using the five items that Eastwick (2009) used. In addition, they have made small changes to the wording.
How was fame measured during this study?
The researcher measured fame by asking the participants questions about the racial and ethnic backgrounds of their current friends.
What limitations does this research have, according to the researchers?
The researchers indicate that the use of a select group of individuals to investigate heterosexual attraction does not provide a full understanding of the actual situation. In addition, all participants in this study studied at the same university and were obtained through targeted recruitment. As a result, the outcome of this study may be generalizing and not speak of a majority of the American population.
What conclusion do writers draw at the end of this article?
The writers find that it can be deduced from this study that interracial attraction between university members varies as a function of race. It is striking that among white men when it comes to interracial attraction, hierarchy-promoting ideologies are inversely associated with attraction. This occurs in particular when these men adopt a color blind attitude and assume that there is no influence by race or racism.
