Note: N = 453. (P) = parent-reported measure. All other measures are adolescent-reported. Adolescent and parent gender were dummy variables with males = 0 and females = 1.
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.
