最近的研究表明，种族间的相互作用，对污名化身份的提醒，以及暴露于模棱两可的种族主义可能会耗尽少数群体成员的自我控制资源。目前的研究，我们检查是否听到公然的种族主义表示在一个跨种族的背景下会耗尽黑人参与者的自我控制，以及这种消耗是否会缓和参与者的种族中心的水平。在听了一个黑人或一个白色邦联表达支持种族貌相（种族主义条件）或增加校园停车费（中性条件）后，黑人参与者完成了一项Stroop颜色命名任务，以评估自我控制的消耗。参与者经历了跨种族接触后的自我控制耗尽，无论表达的观点是否是种族主义的。然而，正如预期的那样，种族中心性缓和了消耗效应，当涉及种族主义时，中心性较高的参与者在遇到白色伴侣的种族主义后表现出更大的消耗。(C)2009 Elsevier Inc.

Recent research has demonstrated that interracial interactions, reminders of stigmatized identities, and exposure to ambiguous racism can deplete the self-control resources of minority group members In the. current study we examined whether hearing blatant racism expressed in an interracial context would deplete the self-control of Black participants and whether this depletion would be moderated by participants' level of racial centrality. After listening to a Black or a White confederate express either support for racial profiling (racist condition) or increased campus parking fees (neutral condition), Black participants completed a Stroop color-naming task to assess self-control depletion. Participants experienced self-control depletion following interracial encounters, regardless of whether the views expressed were racist. As expected, however, racial centrality moderated the depletion effect when racism was involved, with participants higher in centrality showing greater depletion following an encounter with racism from a White partner.
