a

These measures were on a scale of 1–5. Racial out-group attitudes were on a scale of 1–100 with higher scores meaning parents had more favorable attitudes toward racially and ethnically minoritized groups. Parental same race preferences were on a scale of 1–4 with higher scores meaning adolescents perceived that their parents had more same-race preferences for their close relationships.
