Abstract Details

2024, Doctor of Philosophy, Ohio State University, Psychology.
Systemic racism – the institutional and structural exclusion of and bias against people of color – negatively affects people of color. The present research seeks to address how beliefs about the permanence of systemic racism impacts people of color. Across three studies we find that Black Americans who perceive systemic racism to be permanent show decreased intentions to engage in collective action aimed at reforming current systems. Results indicate that this may not be the case for collective action aimed at dismantling or replacing current systems; Black Americans’ intentions to support more revolutionary social justice is not diminished by beliefs in a permanent system. Furthermore, in Study 4 we demonstrate that this relationship may operate through efficacy. Participants who believe systemic racism is permanent are more likely to perceive action to be less effective and therefore indicate lesser intentions to participate.
