Abstract

ABSTRACT There is widespread segregation between workplaces along ethnic lines. We expand upon previous research on segregation and social influence by testing the effect of the latter on personal diversity preferences, specifically in employees’ selection into hypothetical workplaces. In a survey study with 364 European American respondents in three waves, participants complied with social consensus preferences for either more or less workplace diversity. The new preference was sufficiently internalized to be retained largely unaltered a week later. Simulations suggest a self-reinforcing effect, where accurate social consensus information may be sufficient to change preferences. Given that initial choices were polarized, perceived social consensus can vary highly between people in society, and influencing this perception may feed back into greater acceptance of minorities.

社会共识影响种族多样性偏好

工作场所之间普遍存在种族隔离现象。我们扩展了之前关于隔离和社会影响的研究，测试了后者对个人多样性偏好的影响，特别是在员工选择假设的工作场所时。在一项对364名欧洲裔美国人分三波进行的调查研究中，参与者遵守了社会对工作场所多样性或多或少的普遍偏好。新的偏好被充分内化，一周后基本保持不变。模拟表明了一种自我强化效应，即准确的社会共识信息可能足以改变偏好。鉴于最初的选择是两极化的，社会上不同的人之间感知到的社会共识可能差异很大，影响这种感知可能会反馈到对少数群体的更大接受程度。
