一项研究发现,在网上约会者中间,在从不同种族的人那里获得浪漫的表示之后其反对发起跨种族交流的偏见减少了。 Kevin Lewis研究了一个网上约会网站的使用者接触或避开不同种族的人的程度。这位作者分析了网上约会网站OkCupid的12万6134名使用者在2.5个月里的数据,包括使用者的履历信息和使用者之间交换的所有消息。

Kevin Lewis研究了一个网上约会网站的使用者接触或避开不同种族的人的程度。这位作者分析了网上约会网站OkCupid的12万6134名使用者在2.5个月里的数据,包括使用者的履历信息和使用者之间交换的所有消息。

正如此前关于浪漫关系的研究提出的,这位作者发现这个网站的使用者不太可能与来自不同种族背景的使用者互动,即便这位作者控制了种族多样性的地区差异之后也是如此。

然而,这组作者还发现,相对于发起一个跨种族的互动,来自所有种族背景的使用者都同样可能或者更可能对一个跨种族的消息做出回应。此外,一旦使用者获得了一个跨种族的消息,他们就继续发起进一步的跨种族交流,而不是像之前那样。

这些结果提示,与跨人群偏好的基准率的预测相比,人们更可能对跨种族界限的浪漫的姿态做出回报,而且一旦他们这样做了,他们就更可能发起跨种族的互动。(生物谷Bioon.com)

The limits of racial prejudice

Kevin Lewis

The racial segregation of romantic networks has been documented by social scientists for generations. However, because of limitations in available data, we still have a surprisingly basic idea of the extent to which this pattern is generated by actual interpersonal prejudice as opposed to structural constraints on meeting opportunities, how severe this prejudice is, and the circumstances under which it can be reduced. I analyzed a network of messages sent and received among 126,134 users of a popular online dating site over a 2.5-mo period. As in face-to-face interaction, online exchanges are structured heavily by race. Even when controlling for regional differences in meeting opportunities, site users—especially minority site users—disproportionately message other users from the same racial background. However, this high degree of self-segregation peaks at the first stage of contact. First, users from all racial backgrounds are equally likely or more likely to cross a racial boundary when reciprocating than when initiating romantic interest. Second, users who receive a cross-race message initiate more new interracial exchanges in the future than they would have otherwise. This effect varies by gender, racial background, and site experience; is specific to the racial background of the original sender; requires that the recipient replied to the original message; and diminishes after a week. In contrast to prior research on relationship outcomes, these findings shed light on the complex interactional dynamics that—under certain circumstances—may amplify the effects of racial boundary crossing and foster greater interracial mixing.
