Description

The current study examined the relationship between an individual’s desire for multicultural experiences (MD), lived multicultural experiences (ME) and the diversity of one’s friend networks (DFN). I hypothesized that the more diverse experiences a participant had or desired, the more diverse their friend network would be. 187 undergraduate students participated in this study. Both ME and MD were positively correlated with DFN (r = 0.25, r = 0.32). ME and MD were also significantly correlated with each other (0.43). Because all variables are positively correlated a mediational relationship will also be tested and the results discussed.
