“…Neste caso, as redes sociais desempenham um papel fundamental, pois regulam as normas e sancionam os comportamentos não normativos. Assim, a endogamia está mais enfatizada em grupos que querem ou necessitam de manter a coesão grupal, tal como os valores próprios (Clark-Ibañez e Felmlee, 2004;Huijnk et al, 2010;Sniderman e Hagendoorn, 2007). Inclusive, as famí-lias destacadamente conservadoras e com menor nível académico são mais propensas a apresentar atitudes preconceituosas e negativas para o ex-grupo (Lambert e Chasteen, 1997); portanto, entendem o matrimónio homogâmico como um valor em si mesmo.…”

Resumo O objetivo deste artigo é conhecer os principais tipos de relações matrimoniais que se estabelecem entre pessoas de nacionalidade espanhola e brasileira. Os dados foram obtidos a partir da consulta ao Movimento Natural da População (MNP). Os resultados mostram que as uniões entre os nacionais do Brasil residentes em Espanha e a população espanhola são um fenómeno em crescimento desde 2005. Destacam-se especialmente as relações entre os espanhóis e as brasileiras. Conclui-se, também, que as uniões homossexuais são mais frequentes entre homens brasileiros e espanhóis do que entre mulheres de ambos os países. Da mesma forma, pode-se comprovar que as uniões homossexuais entre as duas nacionalidades, de 2005 a 2010, são mais heterogâmicas que as estabelecidas pelos heterossexuais.Palavras-chave: homossexualidade, heterossexualidade, casamentos mistos, mercado matrimonial, homogamia, heterogamia.Abstract The the aim of this paper is to identify the main marriage patterns that develop between people of Spanish and Brazilian nationality.

“…These factors include: length of time in the U.S., low levels of ethnic identification, high levels of English language acculturation, ethnically diverse social networks, and low ingroup bias and intergroup anxiety [26,32,36,37]. Research on rates of actual intercultural dating is mixed.…”

Abstract:The increased representation of minority students on the campuses of predominantly White universities in the United States presents increased opportunities for intercultural contact. Studying dating experiences across racial and ethnic lines has been used to determine the existence of a post-racial America. While most previous research has examined general racial/ethnic and gender differences in intercultural college dating experiences, this study analyzes precollege and college-going friendship diversity and skin tone as factors accounting for romantic distance between racial/ethnic groups among a recent cohort of college students. Hierarchical linear modeling analyses were conducted on a 4-year longitudinal sample of 2804 undergraduate students from 24 colleges and universities. Results confirm that White students continue to be the group most likely to engage in intragroup dating relationships, Latino/a students were the most likely to date interculturally, and that Black men were significantly more likely to date interculturally than Black women. For Black students there were significant within group differences in intercultural dating based on skin tone.

“…It was shown in previous studies that ethnic diversity of friendships influences interethnic dating (Clark-Ibáñez & Felmlee 2004, Keels & Harris 2014, and I argued that a possible source of this effect can be the change of preferences. Results supported the hypothesis that having Roma friends increased the probability that non-Roma respondents find their Roma classmates attractive, and also that they would date with Roma classmates.…”

“…For example, when analyzing friendship segregation and racial integration in schools, Moody (2001) found that friendship segregation actually increased and not decreased, if group diversity was elevated from low to moderate levels. About the romantic issues, Clark-Ibáñez & Felmlee (2004) found that school diversity did not, only friendship heterogeneity did increase the chance of inter-ethnic dating.…”

Interethnic dating preferences of Roma and non-Roma secondary school students

Adolescent romantic relationships are sources of social influence concerning educational achievement and delinquent behavior. Integrated schooling is known to induce inter-ethnic friendship relations, however, it also creates the opportunity of inter-ethnic dating. Based on contact theory, inter-ethnic personal relationships or long-term exposure decreases ethnic prejudice, thus it is proposed that willingness to date between ethnic groups may also increase. The question arises, whether in the school context exposure is enough for this mechanism to emerge, or personal contact is necessary. It must be also taken into account, that romantic relationships are embedded in status relations within schools. Previous studies on intermarriage and homogamy found a "social exchange" mechanism, that lower status members of majority groups are more likely to choose minority partners. Translated to the adolescent society, it is assumed, that the less popular members of the majority groups are those, who are more willing to form inter-ethnic dating relations. To address the above questions empirically, the first wave of the Hungarian network panel "Wired into EachOther" was analyzed, containing data of 1214 9th grade students in 43 classes of seven secondary schools. Inter-ethnic dating preferences of Roma and non-Roma students were measured by dyadic attribution of physical attractiveness, and nominations of willingness to date. Statistical analysis was carried out using multilevel p2 models. They suggest that mixed groups are not sufficient, but personal contacts are necessary to decrease same ethnicity preferences in dating. An additional tendency is that among majority students, those who are isolated from the friendship networks are the ones who are more willing to date with the minority group.
