βInterracial daters tended to engage in a broader range of risk-taking behaviors regardless of their race.β
βWhites who dated outside their race engaged in more risk-taking behavior, as did Blacks, and Hispanics.β
βThe results suggest that assortative mating applies between races as well as within races. Within Whites, higher intelligence is associated with lower rates of interracial dating, while within Blacks and Hispanics higher intelligence is associated with higher rates of interracial dating. Within Hispanics, parental SES and speaking English at home were both positive predictors of dating interracially. One alternative theory to assortative mating is that people mate assortatively for racial ancestry instead, and that the associations found are merely a product of this. Given that skin color was not a very strong predictor of dating interracially but parental SES and IQ were, this does not seem very likely.β
