This doctoral dissertation research examines the root causes of inter-racial attitudinal differences. A large body of research in political science and in social psychology demonstrates that there are important differences in attitudes both within and across different racial and ethnic groups. These differences have important implications for the support of governing institutions. This research relies on laboratory experiments to discern whether subjects who have high attachment to social groups process information through a racial schema. The experiments require subjects to recall news stories in either printed or videotaped form that have been altered to produce different types of messages. The research isolates one mechanism which, when coupled with racial group identification, aids in the formulation of individual perceptions and attitudes.

本博士论文研究探讨了种族间态度差异的根本原因。政治学和社会心理学方面的大量研究表明，不同种族和民族群体内部和之间的态度都存在重要差异。这些差异对管理机构的支持具有重要意义。这项研究依靠实验室实验来辨别对社会群体有高度依恋的受试者是否通过种族图式来处理信息。实验要求被试回忆经过改变以产生不同类型信息的印刷或录像形式的新闻故事。这项研究分离出一种机制，当它与种族群体认同结合在一起时，有助于形成个人的看法和态度。
