DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of the proposed investigation is to examine the ways in which adolescents' exposure to media depictions of real-world ethnic and political violence interacts with personal and contextual factors to affect attitudes, beliefs, and stereotypes regarding other ethnic groups. We are particularly interested in the extent to which differences in beliefs, attitudes, and stereotypes about other ethnic groups among children with similar backgrounds can be accounted for by differences in media exposure to ethnic violence and/or differences in identification with the aggressors and victims of violence, differences in empathy, and differences in ethnic and social identity. We also want to examine age differences in such effects and how those relations vary by the socio-ethnic context in which the child lives. We plan to address these issues with a study of high school youth in two ethnically diverse suburbs of Detroit - one that is predominately Arab-American and one that is predominately Jewish-American. The proposed design is a cross-sectional field study that will involve collecting data from two age groups of adolescents, ninth and twelfth graders, with approximately 200 participants in each group. Because of the sensitive nature of ethnic attitudes and stereotypes, we plan to assess the participants' ethnic stereotypes with two implicit measures that are less sensitive to bias, while assessing media exposure, identity, contextual and personal factors, and explicit attitudes through self-report interviews.

描述（由申请人提供）：拟议的调查的目的是研究青少年对现实种族和政治暴力的媒体描述的暴露方式，与个人和情境因素相互作用，以影响态度，信仰和刻板印象对其他种族。我们对具有相似背景的儿童的信念，态度和对其他种族的陈规定型观念的差异尤其感兴趣，这可能是由媒体暴露于种族暴力的差异和/或与侵略者和受害者在暴力，同理心和社会情绪上的差异的差异的差异来解释。我们还想研究这种影响的年龄差异，以及这些关系如何因孩子所生活的社会族裔环境而变化。我们计划通过对底特律两个种族多元化的郊区的高中青年进行研究来解决这些问题，这是阿拉伯裔美国人，其中一个主要是犹太裔美国人。拟议的设计是一项横断面研究，该研究将涉及从两个年龄段的青少年，九年级和十二年级的年龄段收集数据，每个组中约有200名参与者。由于种族态度和刻板印象的敏感性，我们计划通过两种隐含的措施评估参与者的族裔刻板印象，同时通过自我报告访谈评估媒体的曝光，身份，背景和个人因素，以及明确的态度。
