本研究由三个实验组成,考察了代表白色和黑人群体身份的不同方式如何影响白人对黑人歧视的认识以及他们代表该人抗议的意愿。在实验1中,我们预测并发现,诱导一个共同的群体表示(美国人),相比,强调单独的种族群体身份的条件,减少了白人的识别微妙的歧视。这种格局在外部威胁下发生了逆转。在实验2中,共同的身份减少识别的歧视是微妙的,但不是公然的。此外,虽然一个共同的群体身份并没有促进白人的意愿,抗议公然的歧视,在实验2和3中,诱导一个双重的身份,强调两个小组的差异和共同的群体代表,做了。我们讨论的结果时,共同和双重身份表示促进代表少数群体的行动的影响。(C)2013 Elsevier Inc.

The present research, consisting of three experiments, examined how different ways of representing the group identities of White and Black Americans affect Whites' recognition of discrimination against a Black person and their willingness to protest on behalf of that person. In Experiment 1 we predicted and found that inducing a common-group representation (as Americans), compared to a condition that emphasized separate racial-group identities, reduced Whites' recognition of subtle discrimination. This pattern was reversed under external threat. In Experiment 2, common identity reduced recognition of discrimination that was subtle, but not blatant. In addition, although a common-group identity did not facilitate Whites' willingness to protest blatant discrimination in Experiments 2 and 3, in Experiment 3 inducing a dual identity, which emphasizes both subgroup differences and a common-group representation, did. We discuss the implications of the results for when common- and dual-identity representations foster action on behalf of a minority group. (C) 2013 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
