Is this about You or Me? Self-Versus Other-Directed Judgments and Feelings in Response to Intergroup Interaction
232
TL;DR: This paper found that both dominant and lower status group members' responses to interacting with an outgroup member can center largely on thoughts and feelings about themselves, and that Aboriginal Canadians appeared to personalize negative behaviors exhibited by their white partner.

Abstract: This research demonstrated that both dominant and lower status group members’ responses to interacting with an out-group member can center largely on thoughts and feelings about themselves. Pairs of students (either two White Canadians or one White Canadian and one Aboriginal Canadian) had casual get-acquainted discussions. Consistent with our hypothesis that individuals would tend to frame the interaction in terms of the other person’s evaluation of them, high-prejudice White Canadians felt stereotyped by an Aboriginal partner even though they actually were not stereotyped and even though they themselves did not stereotype an Aboriginal partner. Moreover, Aboriginal Canadians appeared to personalize negative behaviors exhibited by their White partner. These individuals experienced discomfort and self-directed negative affect—but not other-directed negative affect—when their White partner was high in prejudice.

The Case For and Against Perspective-Taking
TL;DR: The authors argue that perspective-taking tends to prompt positive reactions in contexts where the potential for evaluation by the target is low and where individuals thus focus their attention squarely on understanding the target when perspective taking.

White Students' Intergroup Anxiety During Same-Race and Interracial Interactions: A Multimethod Approach
TL;DR: The authors examined 123 same-sex dyadic interactions between white, white and black, and white and Asian American college students and found that participants' self-reported feelings and cardiovascular responses indicated that Whites experienced greater discomfort with ethnic minority partners than with white partners.

Intergroup Contact: An Integration of Social Psychological and Communication Perspectives
TL;DR: This paper examined the literature on intergroup contact from a communication perspective and presented an extended research agenda for the field of communication to contribute to what is fundamentally a communicative event, and discussed various forms of indirect contact including vicarious, extended, imagined, and computer mediated forms of contact.

Is Racial Bias Malleable? Whites' Lay Theories of Racial Bias Predict Divergent Strategies for Interracial Interactions
Rebecca Neel,Jenessa R. Shapiro +1 more
TL;DR: It is argued that a previously unexamined factor-beliefs about the malleability of racial bias guides Whites' strategies for difficult interracial interactions and found that those who believe racial bias is malleable favor learning-oriented strategies such as taking the other person's perspective and trying to learn why an interaction is challenging.

Interethnic Interactions: Expectancies, Emotions, and Behavioral Intentions
TL;DR: The authors found that participants who had negative expectations about intergroup interactions reported more anger and anxiety about interethnic interactions and these negative emotional responses, in turn, were associated with negative behavioral intentions such as the desire to avoid intra-group interactions and the externalization of blame if an intra-thnic interaction did not go well.

The Presentation of Self in Everyday Life
Erving Goffman
- 01 Jan 1959
TL;DR: For instance, in the case of an individual in the presence of others, it can be seen as a form of involuntary expressive behavior as discussed by the authors, where the individual will have to act so that he intentionally or unintentionally expresses himself, and the others will in turn have to be impressed in some way by him.

Multiple Regression: Testing and Interpreting Interactions
TL;DR: In this article, multiple regression is used to test and interpret multiple regression interactions in the context of multiple-agent networks. But it is not suitable for single-agent systems, as discussed in this paper.

Human Nature and the Social Order
TL;DR: Thorndike as discussed by the authors argues that the relative immaturity of the sciences dealing with man is continually stressed, but it is claimed that they provide a body of facts and principles which are "far above zero knowledge" and that even now they are capable of affording valuable guidance in the shaping of public policy.
