对来自非洲、阿拉伯、拉丁美洲和欧洲裔美国人背景的 1,096 名青少年（11-18 岁，平均数 = 15）的美国社会契约的公民承诺和信念中偏见和种族意识的作用进行了比较。少数族裔青年的种族意识较高，非洲裔和阿拉伯裔美国人更常报告歧视问题。除了非裔美国人、拉丁裔和那些报告存在偏见的人之外，所有人都听到了父母反对歧视的告诫，他们认为这可能会构成障碍。青少年对美国是一个机会均等社会的信念与遭受歧视的经历呈负相关，而非洲裔美国人最不可能相信政府对普通人做出了回应。在公民目标方面，所有青年都支持爱国主义，但少数族裔和具有种族意识的青年更致力于倡导自己的族裔群体，而欧洲裔美国人不像非裔美国人那样致力于改善种族关系。
The role of prejudice and ethnic awareness in the civic commitments and beliefs about the American social contract of 1,096 (53% female) adolescents (11-18 year olds, Mean = 15) from African-, Arab-, Latino-, and European-American backgrounds were compared. Ethnic awareness was higher among minority youth and discrimination more often reported by African- and Arab-Americans. Parental admonitions against discrimination were heard by all but African Americans, Latinos and those who reported prejudice heard that it could pose a barrier. Adolescents' beliefs that America is an equal opportunity society were negatively associated with experiences of discrimination and African-Americans were least likely to believe that the government was responsive to the average person. With respect to civic goals, all youth endorsed patriotism but ethnic minorities and ethnically aware youth were more committed to advocating for their ethnic group and European-Americans were less committed than were African Americans to improving race relations.
