New Tools, Old Biases
This paper critically examines the ethical concerns and harms associated with virtual reality (VR) technology, emphasizing their disproportionate impact on Black women and members of other multiply marginalized social groups. While VR offers significant potential across sectors, its development and deployment often perpetuate longstanding biases, resulting in privacy risks, lack of accountability, and cultural erasure. Key VR harms are enumerated…
How Race‐Conscious (Vs. Colorblind) Cues Impact White Americans’ Inter‐ and Intraracial Interactions
Although both inter‐ and intraracial conversations about race are necessary for combating racism, discrepancies in people's racial ideologies may hinder these discussions. We conducted three experiments ( N = 1529) to test how White American adults on Prolific (Studies 1 and 2) and White American college students (Study 3) anticipate a conversation about race with a White or Black person who expresses a race‐conscious or colorblind racial ideolog…
Racially minoritized individuals’ responses to identity-safety and -threat relational cues in imagined interactions with white strangers, friends, and allies
This research clarifies how Black and Latine individuals interpret relational cues from White strangers, friends, and allies during potentially contentious conversations. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2026 APA, all rights reserved)
The Challenges and Solutions of In‐Person Big‐Team Science
Big‐Team Science (BTS) offers a powerful framework for advancing psychological research through large‐scale collaboration, yet the unique challenges of conducting in‐person BTS studies remain under‐examined. This manuscript draws on the Psychological Science Accelerator's in‐person stereotype threat study, which involved 2500+ Black undergraduate students at over 20 U.S. universities, to illustrate these challenges and solutions in action. The pr…
An Intersectional Approach to Understanding Black Women’s Motivations to Attend a Historically Black College for Women
Historically, women of African descent had limited entry into U.S. colleges, contributing to the emergence of women’s historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). Today, little is known about Black students’ reasons for attending women’s HBCUs. Adopting a Black Feminist Thought framework, the current research examined the relationship between Black women’s racial and gender identity centralities and their race- and gender-related reasons…
Integrating Sociocultural Insights to Complement Classical Dimensions of Intergroup Contact and Enrich Understanding of Interracial Contact
The current review incorporates a sociocultural perspective into the intergroup contact framework as applied to interracial contact. Integrating research from cultural psychology and grounded in a selves‐in‐contact approach to studying interracial interactions, we advance insights about the sociocultural self in a social and historical context that complements and expands research across three dimensions typically examined in intergroup contact r…
The role of racial shared reality in Black Americans' identity-safety during interracial interactions
Relational identity-safety cues for Black and Latinx Americans during interactions with White Americans
Although interracial interactions often elicit identity threat, cues within and surrounding the encounter can promote identity safety. Across three studies, Black and Latinx Americans ( N = 907) generated and evaluated relational identity-safety cues —words, body language, and behaviors during recalled and imagined interactions with White people that made them feel valued, respected, and less likely to be stereotyped. Participants generated disti…
Will they assume I’m racist?” How racial ingroup members’ stereotypical behavior impacts White Americans’ interracial interaction experiences
Three studies ( N = 1,427) examine White Americans’ threat and stress appraisals and coping strategies in imagined inter- and intraracial interactions when a nearby White person does something racist. White individuals report heightened concern about being stereotyped as racist (i.e., metastereotyping) following an ingroup member’s stereotype-confirming (vs. neutral) behavior (Studies 1–3). Moreover, across studies, these heightened metastereotyp…
“Crime” in Context
What to Do? Predicting Coping Strategies Following Ingroup Members’ Stereotypical Behaviors in Interracial Interactions
The current studies examine how witnessing stereotype-confirming ingroup behavior affects black Americans’ interactions with white Americans. Across three studies, black Americans indicated metaperceptual, emotional, and behavioral responses to witnessing a black person’s stereotypically negative, stereotypically positive, or nonstereotypically neutral behavior during an interracial (vs. intraracial) interaction. Following an ingroup member’s ste…
Interracial Contact in Virtual Reality
Interracial interactions are occurring more frequently in virtual reality (VR) environments (e.g., multiplayer games, virtual classrooms, medical appointments). Individuals bring their biases and prejudices with them as they enter virtual spaces. Drawing from theories of real-world interracial interaction, predictable affective, cognitive, and behavioral processes undermine the quality of live interracial interactions. Emerging research using VR …
The Cognitive Effects of Experiencing and Observing Subtle Racial Discrimination
Most research on the cognitive effects of subtle racial discrimination among racial and ethnic minorities focuses on direct experiences of it wherein stigmatized individuals are the targets of discriminatory treatment. However, it is not necessary for people to be the direct target of discriminatory behavior to experience the negative consequences associated with it. Although exposure to discriminatory behavior is increasingly common given the ac…
Invisible middle-class Black space
In addition to racial stereotypes about people (e.g., Black people are poor), perceivers hold parallel racial stereotypes about physical spaces (e.g., Black spaces are impoverished; Bonam, Bergsieker, & Eberhardt, 2016). Three studies extend these findings, showing that (a) Whites describe Black space as impoverished and undesirable, but describe White space as affluent and desirable, and (b) this racially polarized stereotype content is heighten…
A threat on the ground”
This research highlights the emotional, metaperceptual, and motivational outcomes following ingroup members' stereotypical behavior in intergroup contexts that extend beyond dyadic encounters. (PsycINFO Database Record
Two souls, two thoughts,” two self-schemas
African Americans can experience a double consciousness-the two-ness of being an American and an African American. The present research hypothesized that: (a) double consciousness can function as 2 self-schemas-an independent self-schema tied to mainstream American culture and an interdependent self-schema tied to African American culture, and (b) U.S. educational settings can leverage an interdependent self-schema associated with African America…
