Abstract

Examining how self-construal, nativity status, and race impact risky sexual behaviors among college students yielded nativity status differences for Blacks and Whites. Self-construal interacted with race such that an interdependent self-construal was associated with more unprotected sex for Blacks. No other significant interactions were found.
