The hypothesis was that sex and race will affect interracial dating preferences, one aspect of social distance. 64 subjects were selected from two different populations, 32 from New Jersey and 32 from Mississippi, to increase the external validity by using a more heterogeneous sample. An interracial dating-preference questionnaire was formulated and an item analysis was done to establish content validity. A 2-way analysis of variance showed sex and race were significant; blacks and black women in particular were more apt to prefer interracial dating
