尽管来自多个学科的证据表明,肤色是黑人歧视的基础,但社会心理学的研究实际上忽视了这个话题。两个实验考察了肤色在黑人的知觉和表现中的因果作用。与种族和其他社会类别维度的影响类似,研究1表明,肤色的变化可以影响社会信息的组织。研究2表明,根据肤色,人们对布莱克的刻板印象存在差异。这两项调查的结果都表明,肤色是黑人和白人表现黑人形象的一个重要因素。
Although evidence from a variety of disciplines suggests that skin tone is a basis of discrimination among Blacks, research in social psychology has virtually ignored this topic. Two experiments examined the causal role of skin tone in the perception and representations of Blacks. Paralleling the effect of race and other social category dimensions, Study 1 showed that variation in skin tone can influence the organization of social information. Study 2 demonstrated differentiation in stereotypes of Black's based on skin tone. Results from both investigations suggest that skin tone is an important factor in both Blacks' and Whites' representations of Blacks.
