美国种族和民族多元化的趋势预计将持续数十年，预计到世纪中期，白色美国人将占全国人口的50%以下。本综述整合了最近的实证研究的影响，使这一人口变化显着的研究，实际多样性如何影响美国白人的群体间的态度和行为。具体而言，我们提供了一个框架，用于理解和预测预期的种族多样性增加的影响，突出了群体间的相互竞争的影响，如相对群体的地位和权力，以及更多的人际经验，如积极的接触，对群体间的关系。最后，我们讨论了可能的主持人的影响，越来越多的国家种族多样性，并考虑在21世纪种族平等的社会变革的影响。
A decades-long trend toward greater racial and ethnic diversity in the United States is expected to continue, with White Americans projected to constitute less than 50% of the national population by mid century. The present review integrates recent empirical research on the effects of making this population change salient with research on how actual diversity affects Whites Americans' intergroup attitudes and behavior. Specifically, we offer a framework for understanding and predicting the effects of anticipated increases in racial diversity that highlights the competing influences of intergroup concerns, such as relative group status and power, and more interpersonal experiences, such as positive contact, on intergroup relations. We close with a discussion of the likely moderators of the effects of the increasing national racial diversity and consider implications of this societal change for racial equity in the 21st century.
