一个发展的组间框架被用来调查青少年的看法，父母的跨种族关系的信息，包括友谊和约会，并将这些态度与青少年的自我报告的组间接触水平。参与者（N = 347）是来自美国不同种族的九年级和十二年级的男女学生。研究结果表明，组间接触与参与者参与跨种族关系的可能性有关。父母种族态度的看法与参与者在这些关系中经历的亲密程度有关。此外，青少年报告说，父母对跨种族关系的类型有不同的评价，他们的信息与青少年关于跨种族友谊和约会的决定显着相关。
A developmental intergroup framework was used to investigate adolescents' perceptions of parents' messages about cross-race relationships, including friendship and dating, and to relate these attitudes to adolescents' self-reported levels of intergroup contact. Participants (N = 347) were ninth- and twelfth-grade male and female students from the United States, of varying ethnicity. Findings indicated that intergroup contact was related to the likelihood that participants engaged in cross-race relationships. Perceptions of parent racial attitudes were related to the degree of intimacy participants experienced in these relationships. In addition, adolescents reported that parents evaluated the types of cross-race relationships differently, and their messages were significantly related to adolescents' decisions regarding cross-race friendships and dating.
