The social psychology of minority experiences of interracial contact

不同种族之间的接触可能是减少种族主义最突出的社会心理方法。然而，这个项目旨在测试这一新颖的命题，即依赖联系可能会有隐藏的成本。这个项目在社会心理学领域产生了新的知识，计划调查少数群体成员在种族间接触、从事情绪劳动以及因此而经历心理疲惫时是否感到有压力去“表演”。预期成果包括实质性合作、理论发展和导致社会变革的科学进步。归根结底，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严重的人受益。

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.
