在三项研究中，我们考察了种族进步如何影响白人对反白人偏见的看法。当种族进步长期(研究1)和实验(研究2)显著时，认为当前美国地位等级是合法的白人更有可能报告说白人是种族歧视的受害者。相比之下，认为目前的身份制度不合法的白人则不受种族进步的影响。研究3的结果指出了威胁在解释对种族进步的这些不同反应中所起的作用。当自我肯定时，那些认为地位等级制度合法的白人在面对种族进步的证据时，不再表现出更多的反白人偏见。讨论了旨在纠正社会不平等的政策的影响。
In three studies, we examined how racial progress affects Whites’ perceptions of anti-White bias. When racial progress was chronically (Study 1) and experimentally (Study 2) salient, Whites who believed the current U.S. status hierarchy was legitimate were more likely to report that Whites were victims of racial discrimination. In contrast, Whites who perceived the current status system as illegitimate were unaffected by the salience of racial progress. The results of Study 3 point to the role of threat in explaining these divergent reactions to racial progress. When self-affirmed, Whites who perceived the status hierarchy as legitimate no longer showed increased perceptions of anti-White bias when confronted with evidence of racial progress. Implications for policies designed to remedy social inequality are discussed.
