Abstract

This paper addresses a critical gap in measuring and reducing implicit prejudice: biases against Black women and people with intersectional identities. Though social psychologists have published many methods to measure and interventions to reduce implicit prejudice against Black people, these methods often target biases against Black people or Black men rather than Black women. Thus, these methods may leave Black women out because the mental representations of Black women and Black men differ and the mental representation of Black people is more similar to the mental representation of Black men than Black women. This paper advocates for an intersectional approach to measuring and reducing implicit prejudice that accounts for the unique prejudices faced by Black women. Specifically, this paper argues that researchers should tailor their methods to account for how the mental representations of Black women and Black men differ including differences in stereotypic content and ambivalence. The paper concludes by acknowledging the difficulties related to developing long‐lasting interventions, the need to move beyond reducing implicit prejudice, and the value of studying the men and women of additional racial and ethnic groups and other intersections like sexual orientation and socioeconomic status.
衡量和减少对黑人妇女和具有交叉身份者的隐性偏见
本文论述了测量和减少隐性偏见方面的一个重要空白:对黑人女性和具有交叉身份者的偏见。尽管社会心理学家已经发表了许多方法来衡量和干预减少对黑人的隐性偏见,但这些方法通常针对的是对黑人或黑人男性的偏见,而不是对黑人女性的偏见。因此,这些方法可能会将黑人女性排除在外,因为黑人女性和黑人男性的心理表征不同,黑人的心理表征与黑人男性的心理表征比黑人女性更为相似。本文主张采用一种考虑到黑人妇女所面临的独特偏见的交叉方法来测量和减少内隐偏见。具体而言,本文认为研究人员应调整他们的方法,以考虑黑人女性和黑人男性的心理表征有何不同,包括刻板印象内容和矛盾心理的差异。最后,本文承认制定长期干预措施存在困难,需要超越减少隐性偏见的范畴,研究其他种族和民族群体的男性和女性以及其他交叉群体(如性取向和社会经济地位)也很有价值。
