Decades of research and theory development in Social Psychology has focused on the causes and consequences of racism, with most of this research focusing on Black-White relations. However, little attention has been devoted to understanding minority groups’ attitudes toward other minority groups. This issue is important to understand because social equality and progress depends on solidarity between minority groups, and research that limits itself to only Black-White relations limits the understanding of attitudes and behavior toward minority groups. This project focuses on the role of framing in intergroup bias. Indeed, how people view members of other groups is a fundamental aspect of human social cognition, and how much racial minority groups support each other is expected to depend on how racism is framed. Advancing this understanding informs policies and strategies that bring all groups together in the fight against discrimination.This project builds on the observation that racism directed by White Americans toward Black Americans can be framed in two distinct ways: as anti-Black or as pro-White. This difference in framing is expected to influence another minority group’s sense of solidarity or allyship with Black Americans. Specifically, this research focuses on Asian American allyship with Black Americans. It is hypothesized that framing racism against Black Americans as the result of anti-Black rather than pro-White attitudes will increase Asian Americans’ intraminority solidarity with Black Americans. One set of studies examines whether Asian Americans and White Americans think about these framings as different from each other or different from other framings of intergroup bias. Additional experiments examine whether an anti-Black framing leads Asian Americans to experience a greater sense of responsibility for racism and results in stronger solidarity with Black Americans. A final experiment explores the effect of framing on Asian Americans support for intergroup causes. Understanding how different framings for intergroup conflict affect allyship from members of other minority groups is important for building a more comprehensive understanding of intergroup relations.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

几十年来，社会心理学的研究和理论发展都集中在种族主义的原因和后果上，其中大部分研究都集中在黑人与白人的关系上。然而，很少有人注意到少数群体对其他少数群体的态度。理解这个问题很重要，因为社会平等和进步取决于少数群体之间的团结，而仅限于黑白关系的研究限制了对少数群体的态度和行为的理解。这个项目的重点是在组间偏见框架的作用。事实上，人们如何看待其他群体的成员是人类社会认知的一个基本方面，而少数种族群体之间的相互支持程度预计将取决于种族主义是如何被框定的。推进这一理解告知政策和战略，使所有群体在打击歧视的斗争中走到一起，这个项目的基础上观察到，种族主义直接由白色美国人对黑人美国人可以在两个不同的方式框定：作为反黑人或作为亲白色。这种框架上的差异预计会影响另一个少数群体与美国黑人团结或结盟的感觉。具体来说，这项研究的重点是亚裔美国人与美国黑人的盟友关系。据推测，将针对美国黑人的种族主义框定为反黑人而不是亲白人的态度的结果，将增加亚裔美国人与美国黑人的少数民族团结。一组研究考察了亚裔美国人和白色美国人是否认为这些框架是彼此不同的，还是与其他群体间偏见的框架不同。其他实验研究是否反黑人框架导致亚裔美国人体验到更大的种族主义责任感，并导致与黑人美国人更强的团结。最后一个实验探讨了框架对亚裔美国人支持群体间事业的影响。了解不同的群体间冲突框架如何影响来自其他少数群体成员的联盟关系，对于更全面地了解群体间关系非常重要。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
