The social psychology of minority experiences of interracial contact

种族间的接触可能是减少种族主义最突出的社会心理学方法。然而，这个项目旨在测试依赖接触可能存在隐藏成本的新命题。该项目在社会心理学领域产生了新的知识，旨在研究少数民族群体成员在跨种族接触中是否感到“表现”压力，参与情绪劳动，并因此经历心理倦怠。预期的结果包括实质性的合作、理论的发展和导致社会变革的科学进步。最终，该项目希望通过改进针对种族主义的技术，使那些遭受歧视和偏见最多的人受益。

Interracial contact is perhaps the most prominent social psychological approach to reducing racism. This project aims to test the novel proposition that there may be hidden costs to relying on contact, however. Generating new knowledge in the field of social psychology, this project plans to examine whether minority group members feel pressured to 'perform' during interracial contact, engaging in emotional labour, and experiencing psychological burnout as a result. Expected outcomes include substantive collaboration, theory development, and scientific progress leading to social change. Ultimately, the project aspires to benefit those who suffer most from discrimination and prejudice by improving techniques for targeting racism.
