Abstract

Two preregistered experiments compared the effect of a counter-attitudinal strategy with a control and a reflective condition (Experiment 1, n = 689) or an outgroup-variability condition (Experiment 2, n = 634) on attitudes toward Moroccan immigrants in Spain, exploring the role of identity threat in the process among participants with high (vs. low) racism and ethnocultural empathy. Results showed that the exposure to counter-attitudinal content threatened the identity of high-prejudiced individuals, which was associated with negative attitudes (e.g., less positive perceptions of morality, sociability and competence, less openness to alternative information about Moroccan immigration and more agreement with punitive political actions toward Moroccans) compared to the control, reflective and outgroup variability condition. The strategy that emphasizes the variability of the outgroup indirectly improved attitudes toward migrants by eliciting less identity threat among low-prejudiced participants. These findings suggest the need for different interventions depending on the characteristics of the target.

减少偏见的反态度策略的光与影:身份威胁和先前种族取向的影响
两项预先登记的实验比较了反态度策略与对照和反思条件(实验 1,n = 689)或外群体变异条件(实验 2,n = 634)对西班牙摩洛哥移民态度的影响,探讨了身份威胁在种族主义和民族文化移情程度高(与低)的参与者中的作用。结果表明,与对照组、反思组和外群体可变性条件相比,接触反态度内容对高偏见者的身份认同造成了威胁,这与他们的消极态度有关(例如,对道德、交际能力和能力的正面看法较少,对有关摩洛哥移民的其他信息的开放性较低,对针对摩洛哥人的惩罚性政治行动的认同度较高)。强调外群体可变性的策略间接改善了对移民的态度,因为它在低偏见参与者中引发了较少的身份威胁。这些研究结果表明,有必要根据研究对象的特点采取不同的干预措施。

期刊介绍: IJIR is dedicated to advancing knowledge and understanding of theory, practice, and research in intergroup relations. The contents encompass theoretical developments, field-based evaluations of training techniques, empirical discussions of cultural similarities and differences, and critical descriptions of new training approaches. Papers selected for publication in IJIR are judged to increase our understanding of intergroup tensions and harmony. Issue-oriented and cross-discipline discussion is encouraged. The highest priority is given to manuscripts that join theory, practice, and field research design. By theory, we mean conceptual schemes focused on the nature of cultural differences and similarities.
