New pub! 🔥This study highlights how parental racial socialization, resistance and empowerment against racism, and ethnic identity are associated with Latine adults' racial dating and physical attraction preferences. Led by my bright and amazing RA Anadys Rodriguez.

Where do height preferences in dating come from? In this study, my coauthor and I found that for Asian American women, internalized racism -> taller minimum acceptable dating height in men. Furthermore, a white dating preference -> taller ideal dating height in men.

Race and dating, what's that about? In this new pub, my research team investigated the psychological and sociocultural factors that promote queer Asian American men to date one another - as well as the consequences of doing so. Nuanced strengths-based findings prevail!
