| description | This study examines the influence of interracial interaction expectation and
campus racial climate perception on attitudes toward interracial interaction, which, in
tum, influences the level of interracial interaction among students. Responses from 193
Malay and 165 Chinese students were analyzed using hierarchical regression. Results
support the hypothesized influence of interracial interaction expectation and campus
racial climate perception on attitudes toward interracial interaction for the Chinese
students. But for the Malay students only interracial interaction expectation is
significant. Attitudes toward interracial interaction, in turn, significantly predict levels
of interracial interaction for both groups. Implications for higher education are discussed.
