Abstract

Cross-group relationships are defined as romantic relationships involving two individuals from distinct racial or ethnic groups. For this paper, the terms “interethnic” and “interracial” are used as specifiers for the two umbrella terms, “intergroup” and “cross-group.” Previous studies that examined whether cross-group romantic relationships are more or less satisfying than intragroup (i.e., same-group) romantic relationships have yielded discrepant findings. Through a systematic review and meta-analysis of 27 studies, we found that there is no significant difference between cross-group and intergroup relationship satisfaction (aggregate d = 0.024, 95% CI [−0.076; 0.123]). Tests of moderation found that the amount of Asian participants included in individual studies on cross-group relationship satisfaction is significantly associated with effect size d (β = 0.005, p= 0.02; 95% CI [0.001; 0.008]).

摘要

跨群体关系被定义为涉及来自不同种族或族裔群体的两个人的浪漫关系。在本文中，“种族间”和“种族间”这两个术语被用作“群体间”和“跨群体”这两个总括术语的说明符。以前的研究检查了跨群体浪漫关系是否比组内（即同组）浪漫关系更令人满意或更不令人满意，但结果却不一致。通过对 27 项研究的系统回顾和荟萃分析，我们发现跨组和组间关系满意度（总d = 0.024, 95% CI [−0.076; 0.123]）。适度检验发现，跨组关系满意度的个别研究中包括的亚洲参与者数量与效应大小 d 显着相关（β  = 0.005，p =  0.02；95% CI [0.001；0.008]）。
