What Was That? Predicting Interpretations of Potential Racial Microaggressions

University of Missouri-St. Louis

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

We sought to predict & explain individual interpretations of potential racial microaggressions using situation-specific predictors. Using a video scenario and controlling for participant demographics, >70% of the variance in attribution to race was explained by situation-specific perceptions of a) stereotype-relevance, b) insult, c) relative frequency of occurrence, & d) their interactions.
