友谊模式有助于检验有关同化过程和群体边界的重要假设。婚纱照提供了直接观察亲密的跨种族友谊和种族关系的真实表现的机会。对 1,135 张婚礼照片和相关信息的分析表明，白人尤其不可能有足够亲密的黑人朋友参加他们的婚礼。根据群体规模进行调整后，白人、东亚人和东南亚人（以下简称东/东南亚人）参加彼此婚礼的可能性相同，但白人邀请黑人参加婚礼的人数只有黑人邀请白人的一半，而东/东南亚人邀请黑人的人数只有黑人邀请东/东南亚人的五分之一。在跨种族婚姻中，与白人结婚的东/东南亚和黑人配偶与白人配偶相比，与配偶种族成员建立亲密友谊的可能性要小得多。
Friendship patterns are instrumental for testing important hypotheses about assimilation processes and group boundaries. Wedding photos provide an opportunity to directly observe a realistic representation of close interracial friendships and race relations. An analysis of 1,135 wedding party photos and related information shows that whites are especially unlikely to have black friends who are close enough to be in their wedding party. Adjusting for group size, whites and East and Southeast Asians (hereafter, E/SE Asians) are equally likely to be in each other weddings, but whites invite blacks to be in their wedding parties only half as much as blacks invite whites, and E/SE Asians invite blacks only one-fifth as much as blacks invite E/SE Asians. In interracial marriages, both E/SE Asian and black spouses in marriages to whites are significantly less likely than their white spouses to have close friendships with members of their spouse race.
