在三项研究中，我们研究了种族进步如何影响白人对反白人偏见的看法。当种族进步是长期的（研究1）和实验（研究2）突出，白人谁相信目前的美国地位等级是合法的更有可能报告说，白人是种族歧视的受害者。相比之下，白人认为目前的身份制度是非法的，不受种族进步的影响。研究3的结果指出了威胁在解释种族进步的不同反应中的作用。当自我肯定时，那些认为地位等级制度是合法的白人在面对种族进步的证据时，不再表现出反白人偏见的增加。旨在纠正社会不平等的政策的影响进行了讨论。
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.
