The youth are in a phase of identity fragility which causes them to often engage in behavior that touches on issues of ethnic sensitivity. Therefore, cross-ethnic social relations among the youth need to be constantly monitored because they are the future heirs of the country. Cross-ethnic social relations in this study are examined through the pattern of cross-ethnic associations among youth. This study involved 362 youth (60% Malay, 25% Chinese and 15% Indian). Data were obtained from the distribution of questionnaires which were analyzed using SPSS version 23 and SMART-PLS 3.0 software. The findings of the pattern show that Malay youth have more crossethnic social relationships through associational activities compared to Chinese and Indian youth. Contributions and suggestions for further research are included in the conclusion section of the study.
