研究表明，关于种族健康差异的宣传可能会对黑人产生不利影响。在这项研究中，我们改变了信息内容（黑人-白色心血管相关的差异+中性健康主题与中性健康主题）嵌入在公共服务公告给黑人和白色参与者（N= 86），并让他们完成一个所谓的健康自我评估。我们使用完成的项目数作为任务持续性的衡量标准。我们的研究结果表明，差异条件下的参与者平均完成的项目比中性条件下的参与者少（p<0.01）。计划对比显示，这种影响是由黑人的反应驱动的，他们在差异条件下完成的项目较少（p< .01），尽管白人表现出类似的基于条件的趋势（p= .12）。我们发现在我们的两种实验条件下（ps ≥ 0.53），完成的项目数量没有黑白差异。虽然是初步的，但我们的研究结果表明，黑人和白人暴露于关于心血管疾病的相对种族差异信息可能会减少任务持续性。研究意义和研究局限性也进行了讨论。
Research suggests that communications about racial health disparities may adversely affect Blacks. In this study, we varied the message content (Black–White cardiovascular-related disparities + neutral health topics vs. neutral health topics only) embedded in public service announcements given to Black and White participants (N= 86) and had them complete a purported health self-assessment. We used the number of items completed as a measure of task persistence. Our results showed that participants in the disparities condition completed fewer items on average than participants in the neutral condition (p< .01). Planned contrasts revealed that this effect was driven by the responses of Blacks who completed fewer items in the disparities condition (p< .01), though Whites evinced a comparable condition-based trend (p= .12). We found no Black–White differences in the number of items completed in either of our experimental conditions (ps ≥ .53). Although preliminary, our findings suggest that Blacks and Whites exposed to comparative racial disparities messaging about cardiovascular diseases could experience reduced task persistence. Research implications and study limitations are also discussed.
