Abstract
In a sample of White Americans, we employed a person-centered approach to identify patterns of stress-related appraisals that disentangle interracial anxiety from general social anxiety and help investigate the role of secondary appraisals in promoting positive interracial attitudes and interactions. Three latent profiles emerged: low stress, characterized by low stress-related appraisals across all contexts; high stress, characterized by heightened stress-related appraisals across all contexts; and discrepancy, which appraised the interracial interaction as less stressful than other contexts. Profiles differed in cognitive resources relevant to coping with interracial contact, performance orientation, and attitudes toward immigrants, but not interracial interaction frequency.
期刊介绍：
Since John Dewey and Carl Murchison founded it in 1929, The Journal of Social Psychology has published original empirical research in all areas of basic and applied social psychology. Most articles report laboratory or field research in core areas of social and organizational psychology including the self, attribution theory, attitudes, social influence, consumer behavior, decision making, groups and teams, sterotypes and discrimination, interpersonal attraction, prosocial behavior, aggression, organizational behavior, leadership, and cross-cultural studies. Academic experts review all articles to ensure that they meet high standards.
