“…Consistent with this, Pettigrew and Riley found those men who expressed the most prejudice to most perceive the average man as relatively deprived compared to the past. More recent studies in Western Europe (Pettigrew & Meertens, 1995) and the United States (Bobo, 1988; Taylor, 2002), have shown that the perception of relative deprivation predicts whites' opposition to ethnic out‐groups, as well as to policies that redress their structural disadvantage. Outside psychology, variants of relative deprivation theory continue to be applied to examples of political action against government and other efforts to redress structural disadvantage (e.g.…”

Relative deprivation and angry opposition 2 AbstractWe examined (structurally advantaged) non-Aborigines' willingness for political action against government redress to (structurally disadvantaged) Aborigines in Australia. Consistent with Pettigrew and Riley's (1971) suggestions, we found non-Aborigines opposed to government redress to be high in symbolic racism (Sears, 1988) and to perceive their in-group as deprived relative to Aborigines. However, only perceived relative deprivation was associated with feelings of group-based anger. And, consistent with relative deprivation and emotion theory, it was group-based anger that fully mediated a willingness for political action against government redress. Thus, the specific group-based emotion of anger explained why symbolic racism and relative deprivation promoted a willingness for political action against government redress to a structurally disadvantaged out-group. Theoretical and political implications are discussed.Relative deprivation and angry opposition 3 Angry opposition to government redress:

“…Discontent as a result of the disadvantaged situation faced by an out-group relative to the favorable status of the ingroup was assessed with a total of 10 questions tapping into a cognitive and an affective dimension of RDBO. According to researchers, an optimal group-based measure of relative deprivation includes both an intergroup comparison and an affective element (Smith & Ortiz, 2002;Taylor, 2002;Walker & Pettigrew, 1984).…”

A model offactors that lead members of an advantaged group to perform collective action intended to help a disadvantaged out-group is tested. A distinction is made between easy and demanding collective activities. Two different routes are expected to lead to collective action. First, an indirect link is proposed between a common in-group identity and collective action. This link is believed to be mediated by perceived mobilization resources. Second, the link between relative deprivation on behalf of others (RDBO) and collective action will vary according to the type of behavior considered. While, RDBO is expected to he directly associated with easy collective behavior, the link between RDBO and demanding collective activities is mediated through perceived mobilization resources. In turn, perceived resources are linked to both forms of collective behaviors. The predicted model is tested among 273 undergraduate respondents. Findings point to the relevance of all factors considered and the pivotal role of perceived mobilization resources on collective action.

“…Whites’ attributions for racial inequality, emphasizing black effort and de-emphasizing discrimination and blocked educational opportunity, have been identified as major foundations for new forms of white racism (Bobo and Charles 2009). “Racial resentment” (Kinder and Sanders 1996; Taylor 2002), the sense that blacks are demanding and receive undeserved benefits, is often portrayed as the core of current racial negativity among whites. Beliefs about the prevalence of discrimination against blacks and against whites are important aspects of attributions for racial inequality and of racial resentment.…”

The impact of local black residents’ socioeconomic status on white residents’ racial views

This paper extends the study of contextual influences on racial attitudes by asking how the SES of the local black community shapes the racial attitudes of local whites. Using responses to the 1998–2002 General Social Surveys merged with year 2000 census data, we compare the influences of black educational and economic composition on white residents’ attitudes. Finally, the independence of these effects from the impact of white contextual SES is assessed. Across three dimensions of racial attitudes, white residents’ views are more positive in localities where the black population contains more college graduates. However, such localities tend also to have highly educated white populations, as well as higher incomes among blacks and whites, and the multiple influences are inseparable. In contrast, many racial attitude measures show an independent effect of black economic composition, white residents reporting more negative views where the local African American community is poorer.
