A longitudinal assessment of Interracial Interactions

描述(由申请人提供)：以前的研究已经记录了个人的态度和刻板印象对种族间互动的动态产生的戏剧性影响。但是，与更多的二元或关系的方法相比，这项研究的大部分工作都采取了“个人主义”的方法来研究种族间的相互作用。相比之下，P.L.的S的研究侧重于白人和黑人的人际关系中的偏见是如何同时影响种族间互动的。具体地说，P.L.S的研究表明，个人对偏见的担忧可能会产生矛盾的影响：对自己的负面影响和对伴侣的积极影响。拟议中的B/START扩展了P.L.S关于人际关系对日常种族间互动偏见的担忧的实验室研究。具体地说，拟议的工作重点是白人对看起来有偏见的担忧，以及黑人对成为偏见目标的担忧如何在白人和黑人室友之间的日常互动中塑造他们自己和他们的伴侣的情感和认知结果。此外，本研究将探讨在日常种族间互动中，有偏见的人际关系与情感和认知结果之间的关系中行为调节的中介因素。这项研究将采用为期21天的日记设计，使用白人和黑人新生室友对样本来评估所提出的关系。这项研究将为一个更大的研究项目做出贡献，该项目旨在改善个人在种族间互动期间的心理健康。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Previous research has documented the dramatic impact that individuals' attitudes and stereotypes can have on the dynamics of interracial interactions. But, the majority of this work has taken an "individualistic" approach, as compared to a more dyadic or relational approach, to the study of interracial interactions. In contrast, the P.l.'s research has focused on how both Whites' and Blacks' interpersonal concerns with prejudice simultaneously impacts interracial interactions. Specifically, the P.l.'s research suggests that individuals' concerns about prejudice may have paradoxical effects: negative effects for the self and positive effects for one's partner. The proposed B/Start extends the P.l.'s laboratory research regarding interpersonal concerns about prejudice to daily interracial interactions. Specifically, the proposed work focuses on how Whites' concerns about appearing prejudiced, and Blacks' concerns about being the target of prejudice, shape their own and their partner's affective and cognitive outcomes during daily interactions between White-Black roommate pairs. Moreover, the proposed research will examine the mediating factor of behavioral regulation in the relationship between interpersonal concerns with prejudice and affective and cognitive outcomes during daily interracial interactions. A 21-day diary design using a sample of White and Black freshmen roommate pairs will be employed to assess the relationships proposed in this study. This research will contribute to a larger research program that is aimed at improving the psychological well-being of individuals during interracial interactions.
