The influence of Race on PDA

Running head: RACE ON PUBLIC DISPLAYS OF AFFECTION

Influence of Race on Views About Public Displays of Affection

This Correlational study involved constructing an attitude scale to measure public displays of affection (PDA). The scale had an alpha coefficient of .81, which indicated that it had a high internal consistency. The validity was confirmed due to the correlations between the validity check questions being highly correlated with the total PDA scores. Some races, such as Latin American, are more likely to display affection in public, than others, such as Asian. It was hypothesized that race is going to have an influence on PDA scores. Twenty-item, 7-point scale, questioners were given out to 127 college students. ANOVA analysis was used to get the results of F test=1.926, p-value= .129. The means for the four races were as follows: Caucasian=5.27, Africa-American=4.6893, Latino=5.0, and Asian=5.0167. The results indicated that race did not seem to have an effect on the type of response on the PDA questionnaire.
