Abstract：
Friendship racial homophily, the tendency to form friendships with individuals who share the same racial background, is a normative developmental phenomenon that holds particular significance for youth of color in a racialized society. Yet, there exists a paucity of longitudinal research elucidating the stability and change of friendship racial composition across developmental span. This study aimed to examine the friendship racial homophily trajectories over a six-year period encompassing four time points. The sample comprised 437 Asian American youth (MAge = 16.52, SDAge = 1.36, 53% female), with 197 Filipino and 240 Korean participants. Using logistic multilevel modeling analyses, it was found that both Filipino and Korean American youth demonstrated an increase in friendship racial homophily from high school to college, but that Filipino youth overall reported lower levels of racial homophily compared to their Korean counterparts. The study findings also pinpointed several influential factors impacting these trajectories, including proficiency in heritage languages, ethnic identity, and encounters with racial discrimination from both White Americans and other People of Color. These results highlight the continuous evolution of friendship racial composition from high school to college and emphasize the crucial role of ethnic identity and experiences of discrimination in influencing these dynamics, with ethnic identity exerting more enduring effects and experiences of discrimination showing more situational impacts on the levels of racial homophily.
摘要：
友谊种族同性恋，与具有相同种族背景的个人建立友谊的趋势，是一种规范的发展现象，对种族化社会中的有色人种青年具有特殊意义。然而，缺乏纵向研究来阐明友谊种族组成在整个发育时期的稳定性和变化。这项研究旨在研究包括四个时间点的六年时间内的友谊种族同性恋轨迹。样本包括437名亚裔美国青年（MAge=16.52，SDAge=1.36，53％为女性），有197名菲律宾和240名韩国参与者。使用逻辑多层次建模分析，研究发现，菲律宾和韩裔美国青年从高中到大学都表现出种族同性恋的友谊增加，但菲律宾青年总体上报告的种族同性恋水平低于韩国同行。研究结果还指出了影响这些轨迹的几个影响因素，包括精通传统语言，民族认同,并遭遇来自美国白人和其他有色人种的种族歧视。这些结果突出了从高中到大学的友谊种族构成的不断演变，并强调了种族认同和歧视经验在影响这些动态方面的关键作用，种族认同施加更持久的影响，歧视的经历显示出更多的情境对种族同族水平的影响。
