The Cambridge Handbook of Implicit Bias and Racism
The concept of implicit bias – the idea that the unconscious mind might hold and use negative evaluations of social groups that cannot be documented via explicit measures of prejudice – is a hot topic in the social and behavioral sciences. It has also become a part of popular culture, while interventions to reduce implicit bias have been introduced in police forces, educational settings, and workplaces. Yet researchers still have much to understa…
Racial Identity Moderates Cultural Congruence and Healthy Eating Intentions in Black Emerging Adults
Racial disparities in obesity incidence exist among emerging adults—with Black Americans at the highest risk. Emerging adulthood is characterized by behavioral exploration and identity formation, yet few studies have examined how relevant identities (i.e., racial identity) may inform dietary behaviors of Black emerging adults. According to identity-based motivation, people are motivated to act in identity-congruent ways, which are informed by one…
Racial Justice Intervention Research: Reflections, Challenges, and the Road Ahead
In this closing commentary, we consider the contents of this special issue in full and contemplate the lessons learned in the process of its composition. Ultimately, the goal of racial justice intervention research is to meaningfully and tangibly reduce real‐world discrimination and inequity. We offer guidance to researchers in three thematic domains that we hope will be in service of these efforts. In the first section, the second and the third …
How Can Psychologists Walk the Walk to Promote Racial Justice? Situating Racial Justice Intervention Research Within the Translational Research Framework
The field of psychology boasts a long and robust history of engaging in scientific examinations of racism, as evidenced by the works of Archer and Archer (1970), Van den Berghe (1962), Clark and Clark (1939), Langer (1967), Pettigrew et al. (1958), Pettigrew (1960), and Thomas (1970). Psychologists across the world have endeavored to better understand the origins (e.g., Benner and Graham 2013; Federico and Sidanius 2002; Louis et al. 2013; Sears …
The Intergroup Time Bias and Its Implications for Medical Healthcare
The Intergroup Time Bias (ITB) is an unobtrusive yet impactful form of discrimination, characterized by the unequal allocation of time, favoring White individuals compared to Black individuals. This biased time allocation has significant implications for racial inequities in critical social domains, including healthcare. Across three studies, we demonstrate the ITB as a pervasive factor contributing to racial healthcare disparities. Study 1 ( N =…
From Policy to Practice: Data Sharing Challenges and Opportunities for Mixed Methods Research in the Era of U.S. Open Science Initiatives
The “Year of Open Science” initiative, spearheaded by the White House in 2023, catalyzed the adoption of national open science policies across U.S. Federal Government agencies, but open science is an international movement. This paper elucidates the evolving landscape of open science policies, particularly focusing on the Data Management and Sharing Plans by agencies like NIH, NSF, and CDC. While quantitative research (and qualitative research to…
Intergroup time bias and aversive racism in the medical context
193) further revealed more time investment in diagnosing, assessing pain, and prescribing opioids for White than Black male patients. This biased time effect mediated the impact of patients' skin color on health care outcomes, leading to greater diagnostic accuracy and pain perception, and lower opioid prescriptions. A meta-analytical integration of the results (Study 6) confirmed the ITB effect reliability across experiments and that it is stron…
Healthcare providers' psychological investment in clinical recommendations: Investigating the role of implicit racial attitudes
Personal- vs. Group-Level Discrimination and Physical and Mental Health Outcomes Among Black Adolescents
Perceptions of free will and self-control in a medically relevant treatment recommendation scenario
Do provider perceptions of patient free will and treatment related self-control influence treatment recommendations and do such perceptions differ due to race? If so, such bias may be a mechanism for racial disparities in medical treatment recommendations. We hypothesized: (1) greater perceived patient free will would indirectly effect treatment recommendations for patients through increased perceived patient treatment related self-control; (2) p…
The Weight of Racial Discrimination: Examining the Association Between Racial Discrimination and Change in Adiposity Among Emerging Adult Women Enrolled in a Behavioral Weight Loss Program
BACKGROUND: Non-Hispanic Black (NHB) emerging adult (EA) women are at disproportionate risk for obesity but experience limited benefit from behavioral weight loss (BWL) programs. Race-related stress could play a role; the goal of this study was to examine the association between racial discrimination (RD) and early (3 months) changes in adiposity, and to explore potential protective factors, among EA in an adapted BWL program. METHODS: ). At base…
Discrimination and Health Among First-Generation Hispanic/Latinx Immigrants: The Roles of Sleep and Fatigue
Assessing Perceived Discrimination as Reported by Black and White Women Diagnosed with Breast Cancer
What Drives Racial Attitudes in Elementary School Children: Skin Tone, Facial Physiognomy, or Both
This work examines whether racial attitudes-when measured by both explicit and implicit measures- are driven primarily by skin tone, facial physiognomy, or both in 5 to 12-year-old children. Participants evaluated faces varying in skin tone (from dark to light) and facial physiognomy (from Afrocentric to Eurocentric). In an explicit task, children rated how much they liked each face. In an implicit task, participants completed a child-friendly ve…
Ethnic discrimination and weight outcomes among Latinx emerging adults: Examinations of an individual-level mediator and cultural moderators
Addressing health-compromising eating behaviors and attitudes among Latinx emerging adults might be one effective means to addressing the negative consequences of discrimination on weight-related outcomes. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2021 APA, all rights reserved)
Experiences of Discrimination and Sexual Behaviors: An Examination of Motives as Potential Psychological Mediators
Objectives: We investigated three psychological mechanisms that may underlie the associations between discrimination and sexual activity: emotion regulation, autonomy restoration, and intimacy building. Methods: An online survey was administered to a diverse sample of 565 undergraduate students at a large public university. Results: Having sex to mitigate negative emotions mediated the associations between self-reported discrimination and lifetim…
Racial discrimination and alcohol problems among African American young adults: Examining the moderating effects of racial socialization by parents and friends
Both blatant and subtle forms of racial discrimination were associated with higher risk for alcohol use or problems among African American young adults. Racial socialization by friends while growing up may play an important role in alcohol use outcomes during young adulthood. Findings highlight the importance of considering different forms of racial discrimination and emphasize the unique roles of racial socialization across different social cont…
Discrimination' versus 'Unfair Treatment: Measuring Differential Treatment and its Association with Health
There is consistent evidence of the health-harming effects of discrimination. However, it remains unclear whether discrimination contributes to persistent racial and ethnic health disparities. One hindrance to documenting the association between discrimination and health disparities is ongoing methodological issues, particularly the role of question wording in assessing self-reports of discrimination. Using two nationally representative surveys, …
Latent Semantic Analysis: A new measure of patient-physician communication
The role of feature-based discrimination in driving health disparities among Black Americans
Objective: A growing body of research finds that darker skin tone is often associated with poorer physical and mental health in Blacks. However, the psychosocial mechanisms underlying the skin tone-health link remain elusive. The present study seeks to address this knowledge gap by investigating the direct and indirect (through perceived discrimination, socioeconomic status, and self-esteem) effects of skin tone on self-reported physical and ment…
Measuring Self-Reported Discrimination: Trends in Question Wording Used in Publicly Accessible Datasets
Research on Americans’ self-reported experiences of discrimination or unfair treatment (hereafter collectively referred to as differential treatment) has proliferated since the 1960s. Despite the growth of this research, some health scholars express concern about how to effectively measure self-reported experiences of differential treatment. Specifically, it has been suggested that the term discrimination is emotionally charged and that more neut…
The effects of racial attitudes on affect and engagement in racially discordant medical interactions between non-Black physicians and Black patients
The association between physicians' and patients' racial attitudes and poorer patient-physician communication in racially discordant medical interactions is well-documented. However, it is unclear how physicians' and patients' racial attitudes independently and jointly affect their behaviors during these interactions. In a secondary analysis of video-recorded medical interactions between non-Black physicians and Black patients, we examined how ph…
An Analysis of Race-related Attitudes and Beliefs in Black Cancer Patients: Implications for Health Care Disparities
This research concerned relationships among Black cancer patients' health care attitudes and behaviors (e.g., adherence, decisional control preferences,) and their race-related attitudes and beliefs shaped by (a) general life experiences (i.e., perceived discrimination, racial identity) and (b) experiences interacting with health care systems (i.e., physician mistrust, suspicion about medical care). Perceived discrimination, racial identity, and …
Physician Racial Bias and Word Use during Racially Discordant Medical Interactions
Physician racial bias can negatively affect Black patients' reactions to racially discordant medical interactions, suggesting that racial bias is manifested in physicians' communication with their Black patients. However, little is known about how physician racial bias actually influences their communication during these interactions. This study investigated how non-Black physicians' racial bias is related to their word use during medical interac…
Differential Effects of Personal-Level vs Group-Level Racial Discrimination on Health among Black Americans
Perceived group-level racial discrimination may serve as one of several health protective factors even when individuals perceive personal-level racial discrimination. The present findings demonstrate the importance of examining both personal- and group-level experiences of racial discrimination as they independently relate to health outcomes for Black Americans

Within-group health disparities among Blacks: The effects of Afrocentric features and unfair treatment
Prior research on the impact of Afrocentric features on health has focused primarily on a single feature, skin color. We explored the effects of two other Afrocentric features (lip thickness, nose width) on Blacks' health status and whether unfair treatment mediates any relationship between these features and health. A secondary analysis of a prior study of Black patients' health was conducted. Patients with strong (high lip and high nose ratios)…
Increasing or decreasing interest in activities: The role of regulatory fit
What makes people's interest in doing an activity increase or decrease? Regulatory fit theory (E. T. Higgins, 2000) provides a new perspective on this classic issue by emphasizing the relation between people's activity orientation, such as thinking of an activity as fun, and the manner of activity engagement that the surrounding situation supports. These situational factors include whether a reward for good performance, expected (Study 1) or unex…

Should Women Applicants “Man Up” for Traditionally Masculine Fields? Effectiveness of Two Verbal Identity Management Strategies
Due to gender-based bias, women can be at a disadvantage when trying to enter into traditionally masculine fields (e.g., engineering) or job positions (e.g., top management). In a laboratory study, 674 participants evaluated either a female or a male applicant applying for a traditionally masculine position in a traditionally masculine field (engineering manager). Results showed that verbalizing one’s agentic traits resulted in favorable fit eval…

Gender Identification Moderates Social Identity Threat Effects on Working Memory
This investigation examined whether gender identification moderates women’s working memory following exposure to situations that threaten the integrity of their gender group. Young adults read sentences that either threatened women’s gender identity (in the social identity threat condition) or did not threaten this identity (in the control condition). During this sentence-reading task, participants were also asked to remember numerous neutral wor…
Why Are Attributions to Discrimination Interpersonally Costly? A Test of System- and Group-Justifying Motivations
In two studies, Whites’ endorsement of system-justifying beliefs predicted increased negativity toward Blacks who blamed negative events on discrimination. Whites’ system-justifying beliefs were not associated with negativity toward Blacks who blamed negative events on other internal causes, external causes, or nondiscriminatory unfairness. These negative reactions toward discrimination claimants were mediated by perceptions that the claimant hel…

The independent effects of skin tone and facial features on Whites' affective reactions to Blacks
Racial healthcare disparities: A social psychological analysis
Around the world, members of racial/ethnic minority groups typically experience poorer health than members of racial/ethnic majority groups. The core premise of this article is that thoughts, feelings, and behaviors related to race and ethnicity play a critical role in healthcare disparities. Social psychological theories of the origins and consequences of these thoughts, feelings, and behaviors offer critical insights into the processes responsi…
