- As Black emerging adults learn to understand the significance of skin tone preference, it is important to know how this can impact their dating preference. This study examined the effects of colorism on emerging Black undergraduate college students and how it influences their dating preferences while attending a Predominantly White Institution. The participants were 12 self-identified Black 18-24-year-old women who attended a PWI. A correlational analysis was conducted between family, media/social media, and dating preferences. The findings of this study revealed that family can influence emerging Black adults dating preferences as they are likely to have the same preference as their family. There is a significantly positive relationship between family preference and dating preferences. The correlations between media/social media and dating preferences displayed positive and negative correlations. However, none were statistically strong to indicate a connection between them.
