RESUMO -O Modelo da Discriminação Justifi cada postula que o uso de justifi cativas exerce um importante papel na compreensão da discriminação. No presente estudo, testamos o MDJ no contexto da discriminação a estudantes que ingressaram na universidade por cotas raciais. Participaram do estudo 182 estudantes universitários, em sua maioria mulheres, que ingressaram na universidade pela ampla concorrência. Os participantes responderam a medidas de preconceito, de discriminação, de percepção de ameaça real e foram alocados em uma de três condições experimentais: valorização das cotas, ameaça real e controle. Verifi cou-se que a percepção de ameaça real exerceu um papel de mediação na relação entre preconceito e discriminação, independente da condição experimental, indicando o potencial explicativo do MDJ para compreensão da discriminação a cotistas.Palavras-chave: preconceito, discriminação, Modelo da Discriminação Justifi cada, políticas afi rmativas Racism and Affi rmative Action: Evidence for the Justifi ed Discrimination Model ABSTRACT -The Justifi ed Discrimination Model postulates that the use of justifi cations exerts an important role in understanding discrimination. In this study, we tested the JDM in the context of discrimination against students who were admitted to the university through affi rmative action policies. 182 college students, mostly women, who had not been admitted through affi rmative action policies participated in the study. Participants completed measures of prejudice, discrimination, and perception of realistic threat and were assigned to one of three experimental conditions: affi rmative action appreciation, realistic threat, and control. It was observed that the perception of realistic threat mediated the association between prejudice and discrimination independently of the experimental condition, which indicates the explanatory potential of the JDM for understanding discrimination against affi rmative action benefi ciaries.
