African American women's lack of bargaining power may be magnified when women have multiple disadvantaged statuses, such as having a history of drug use and/or incarceration (Oser et al.

Clearly, there is a constellation of factors that contribute to African American women's interracial relationship intentions and behaviors. The current study analyzed data from the Black Women in the Study of Epidemics (B-WISE) project, a study examining health disparities and health services utilization. A prison dummy variable was created (0 = not recruited in prison; 1 = recruited in prison) and a probation dummy variable was created (0 = not recruited while on probation; 1 = recruited while on probation). Thus, it is imperative to examine African American women with multiple disadvantaged statuses and their perceptions of the availability of partners within and outside their race. Looking behind the stereotypes of the “angry Black woman”: An exploration of Black women's responses to interracial relationships.Ball said that her family was a little hesitant at first, but it didn’t last very long once they got to know him. As secondary cross-sectional data, this study was limited to existing measures included in the dataset and only associations could be examined. He noted that these values were different across racial groups such that African American women had a considerably smaller pool of potential partners when compared to white women ( Wilson, 1987).

Trained African American female interviewers obtained informed consent and used laptops with Computer Assisted Personal Interviewing (CAPI) software to interview the participants. This study does not test the MMPI concept, but rather, uses it as an interpretive and theoretical framework. Predicted probabilities revealed that respondents who felt it was not easier to find a Hispanic man and had high cultural mistrust had the lowest predicted probability of interracial dating intentions, with a predicted probability of 0. For the prison sample, all African American women eligible for community reentry within the next 60 days were invited to participate in the study via an information session.The opportunities for African American women to date outside their race may be restricted as they may not be sought out as potential partners.

Model 4F included the same independent variables in the logistic regression model predicting intentions to date a Hispanic man ( Table 6, Model 3F), and showed that, on average, being in prison in the past year was associated with an increase in the likelihood of a woman ever having dated someone Hispanic by a factor of 2. In addition, participants who self-reported illicit drug use were intentionally oversampled using stratified sampling procedures. Based on this study, the social distance (particularly between African Americans and whites) may be shrinking and it is possible that the male marriageable pools for African American women may be broadening to include men of other races/ethnicities. The third set of logistic regression models identified the significant correlates of having dated a white man (see Table 6). On the other hand, African American women's preferences are not the only ones involved in mate selection – the potential partners' preferences are also a factor.Participants reported levels of dating intentions and behaviors were significantly higher with whites than Hispanics. From a MMPI framework, African American women's assessment of the availability of same-race partners may influence their interracial dating intentions and behaviors. Wilson noted that male joblessness, mortality, and incarceration in the African American community reduced the number of eligible (or marriageable) African American men ( Wilson, 1987). In short, sex ratio explanations for race, class, or gender inequalities of love only become meaningful amid inequality-generating processes that ensure that racial (and class) boundaries around dating populations are maintained ( Clarke, 2011: 281).
