| RESEARCH
SUMMARY |
| The focus of my research is
on understanding prejudice and discrimination from the target's
perspective. In one line of research, I examine social interactions
between Whites and ethnic minorities. Here I explore how interpersonal
concerns about issues of prejudice (i.e., concerns with appearing
prejudiced and concerns with being rejected) influence the dynamics
of intergroup contact. Additionally, I've been exploring personality
and situational factors that influence the development and maintenance
of cross-racial friendships. In the second line of research,
I've been studying issues related to targets' detection of and
responses to prejudice and discrimination. Here I've been examining
situational and personality factors that influence the extent
to which ethnic minorities and women will make attributions
to discrimination and confront perpetrators of prejudice. Additionally,
I've been examining the personal and social costs of confronting
and not confronting perpetrators of prejudice. |
