目前的研究探讨了影响非目标感知者在种族主义评论后的反应和行为的情境和个人因素，重点是言语对抗行为。在进行的两项研究中，参与者报告了他们最近目睹的种族主义言论，而这些言论并非专门针对他们自己的种族群体。结果显示，只有三分之一的参与者直接面对评论者。言语对抗的强度可通过情感反应和对偏见评论冒犯性的判断来预测。分析还显示，女性的对抗强度可以通过负面情绪的经历来预测，但男性面对的种族主义言论的冒犯性评分更高。对理论和政策的启示进行了讨论。
The current studies explore situational and individual factors affecting non-target perceivers' reactions and behavior following a racist comment, focusing on verbal confronting behavior. Two studies were conducted in which participants reported about recent situations in which they witnessed a racist comment that was not directed specifically at their own racial group. Results indicated that only one third of participants directly confronted the commenter. Strength of verbal confrontation was predicted by affective reactions and judgments of the offensiveness of the prejudicial comment. Analyses also revealed that strength of confrontation for females was predicted by the experience of negative emotions, but that males confronted more with stronger ratings of the offensiveness of the racist remarks. Implications for theory and policy are discussed.
