Abstract

This study investigated the presence of racial bias in mental health assessments among White trainees and clinicians using the shifting standards paradigm (Biernat, 2003) and the racial triangulation framework (Kim, 1999). A total of 181 White participants viewed one of three case vignettes, all of which were identical except for the race of a fictitious client named Karl. Participants completed a clinical impressions inventory (Gushue, 2004) and the internal causality subscale from the Causation Dimension Scale (Russell, 1982). Results indicated differences in examiner ratings based on Karl's race. Black Karl was rated as significantly less symptomatic, compared to White or East Asian Karl, consistent with the shifting standards paradigm (Biernat, 2003; Gushue, 2004). No difference was found in symptom severity ratings between White Karl and East Asian Karl. Symptoms were also more likely to be attributed to internal factors with Black Karl than with White or East Asian Karl.

心理健康评估中的种族三角测量和标准变化
本研究使用转移标准范式(Biernat, 2003)和种族三角测量框架(Kim, 1999)调查了白人受训人员和临床医生在心理健康评估中存在的种族偏见。总共有181名白人参与者观看了三个案例中的一个,除了一个虚构的名叫卡尔的客户的种族之外,所有这些案例都是相同的。参与者完成了临床印象量表(Gushue, 2004)和因果维度量表的内部因果子量表(Russell, 1982)。结果显示,根据卡尔的种族,审查员的评分有所不同。与白人或东亚人的卡尔相比,黑人卡尔被评为症状明显减轻,这与不断变化的标准范式(Biernat, 2003;Gushue, 2004)。白种人和东亚人在症状严重程度评分上没有发现差异。与白人或东亚人的卡尔相比,黑人卡尔的症状更有可能归因于内部因素。
