白色内疚感通常是由对不劳而获和不公平的种族特权的认可，对个人种族主义态度或行为的认可，和/或对他人种族主义态度或行为的责任感。经验和概念研究表明，白色内疚的后果是复杂的：它可能与反种族主义的态度和行为相对应，但它也可能激发防御和脱离。我们解决了现有的心理测量工具的弱点，用于测量白色内疚综合的方法，从文献中的白色种族情绪和自我意识的影响，并试图区分白色内疚和羞耻。研究1的结果产生了一个三因素结构的白色内疚，否定，和白色羞耻，并提供了初步的结构效度支持。在研究2中，验证性因素分析提供了三因素结构的混合支持。在研究3中，我们的结果表明，两周内的重测信度。
The construct White guilt is typically motivated by the recognition of unearned and unfair racial privileges, the acknowledgement of personal racist attitudes or behavior, and/or the sense of responsibility for others' racist attitudes or behavior. Empirical and conceptual work suggests mixed consequences of White guilt: it may correspond with antiracist attitudes and behavior, but it may also motivate defensiveness and disengagement. We addressed weaknesses in existing psychometric tools used to measure White guilt by synthesizing approaches from the literature on White racial emotions and self-conscious affect, and by attempting to distinguish between White guilt and shame. The results of Study 1 yielded a three-factor structure of White Guilt, Negation, and White Shame, and provided initial support for construct validity. In Study 2, a confirmatory factor analysis provided mixed support for a three-factor structure. In Study 3, our results suggest test-retest reliability over two weeks.
