这项研究追踪并解释了在向成年过渡期间，跨种族性关系参与模式的变化。使用生命历程的观点，强调历史变化的作用，以及在上下文和关系的年龄分级变化，作者假设，跨种族性关系的参与随着年龄的增长而下降。这些分析是基于一些第一次收集有关性关系详细信息的全国代表性调查：全国青少年健康纵向研究和全国健康和社会生活调查。这些调查的结果表明，18岁至35岁之间的人处于种族间关系的可能性越来越小。他们还认为，跨种族参与的年龄下降是近年来年轻人向婚姻过渡和跨种族关系日益形成的副产品。这些发现对未来种族间关系和家庭形成的研究具有启示意义。
This study tracks and explains changing patterns of involvement in interracial sexual relationships during the transition to adulthood. Using a life course perspective that highlights the role of historical changes as well as age-graded changes in contexts and relationships, the authors hypothesize that involvement in interracial sexual relationships declines with increasing age among young adults. The analyses are based on some of the first nationally representative surveys to collect detailed information on sexual relationships: the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health and the National Health and Social Life Survey. Findings from these surveys show that individuals are decreasingly likely to be in an interracial relationship between the ages of 18 and 35 years. They also suggest that the age decline in interracial involvement is a by-product of the transition to marriage in young adulthood and the increasing formation of interracial relationships in recent years. These findings have implications for future research on interracial relationships and family formation.
