Abstract

More than 5,000 Native American and Alaska Native women and girls go missing annually in the United States, and murder is the third leading cause of death for those aged 10 to 24. The current studies assess why, despite such statistics, individuals who are not Native American fail to advocate for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (MMIWG). The Pilot Study (N = 205) and Study 1 (N = 3,992) revealed that greater cognitive invisibility of contemporary Native Peoples (i.e., the absence of cognitive representations) was related to greater minimization of Native Peoples' experiences with racism. Racism minimization was associated with greater blaming of MMIWG victims and less blaming of societal contributors to the epidemic. These factors predicted greater apathy toward MMIWG and less MMIWG advocacy. The results suggest that the cognitive invisibility of Native Peoples affords attitudes and beliefs that allow non-Native individuals to deny, justify, and distance themselves from the MMIWG epidemic.

责怪制度,而非受害者:了解缺乏对失踪和遇害土著妇女和女孩的宣传。
在美国,每年有 5000 多名美国原住民和阿拉斯加原住民妇女和女童失踪,谋杀是 10 至 24 岁妇女和女童的第三大死因。目前的研究评估了为什么尽管有这样的统计数据,非美国原住民的个人却没有为失踪和遇害的土著妇女和女孩(MMIWG)进行宣传。试点研究(N = 205)和第一项研究(N = 3992)显示,当代原住民在认知上的更大隐蔽性(即缺乏认知表征)与原住民在种族主义经历上的更大最小化有关。种族主义最小化与更多地责怪女性暴力团受害者和较少地责怪造成这一流行病的社会因素有关。这些因素预示着对女童和男童暴力事件的冷漠程度更高,对女童和男童暴力事件的支持程度更低。研究结果表明,原住民在认知上的不可见性使非原住民个人能够否认、辩解和远离女童、男童和青少年间的暴力流行。
