Abstract

Cross-ethnic friendships are associated with better intergroup attitudes, especially among youth from societally dominant groups. In spite of the increasing diversity of the United States school-age population, it is not clear whether friendships between ethnic minority youth (“interminority” friendships) similarly predict intergroup attitudes. Moreover, little is known about the underlying mechanisms that can help account for such friendship effects. To address these gaps, the current study examines the number and the stability (a potential mechanism) of unique cross-ethnic friendships as predictors of intergroup attitudes in a sample of 2580 Black and Latino youth (52% female, 73% Latino) attending 26 ethnically diverse California public middle schools. Youth nominated their close friends across the three years of middle school. Multilevel analyses revealed that the presence of at least one stable Black-Latino friendship positively predicted attitudes, over and above the number of such friendships. These findings indicate that lasting friendships between youth of different ethnic backgrounds may be particularly potent in shaping adolescents’ attitudes, as opposed to several, transient relationships. Implications for facilitating stable friendships between youth of different racial/ethnic backgrounds are discussed, including suggestions for future research on interminority friendships.
Voetnoten
1
The label “minority” is used throughout to refer to members of racial/ethnic groups traditionally afforded less societal power in within the broader political and cultural landscape of the United States, as opposed to members of groups that may constitute numerical minorities within their immediate geographic context.
 
2
To examine whether the number of time points at which youth participated in the study was related to the number of friendships, bivariate correlations were computed. Based on the sample used in Model 1, the correlation between the number of time points available and number of unique cross-ethnic friendships was r = 0.10, p < 0.001. Among the sample used in Model 2, the number of available time points was positively correlated with the number of unique friendships (r = 0.11, p < 0.001) and with the presence of at least one stable friendship (r = 0.27, p < 0.001).
