“…There are two possible explanations for this drop: First, the 2020 BLM protests could have caused the drop. This would align with situational models of bias, which predict that changes in the social and cultural environment should lead to changes in bias (Jimenez et al, 2021;Ofosu et al, 2019;Payne et al, 2017). Initially, we had expected that this change in bias would take place gradually over timeas it did in response to Trump's election (Charlesworth & Banaji, 2022).…”

“…The drop in implicit bias seems robust to changes in age, gender, and political orientation: There is a drop for 5 of 7 political orientation scale points spread across the full political orientation spectrum. Of course, we cannot rule out changes in unobserved demographics as explanation for the drop in biasa limitation we share with most published results on the development of bias over time (Charlesworth & Banaji, 2022;Ofosu et al 2019;Jimenez et al, 2021).…”

The 2020 Black Lives Matter protests in response to the murder of George Floyd highlighted the lingering structural inequalities faced by Black people in the United States. In the present research, we investigated whether these protests led to reduced implicit and explicit racial bias among White US Americans. Combining data from Project Implicit, ACLED, Google Trends and the American Community survey, we observed rapid drops in implicit and explicit measures of racial bias after the onset of the protests. However, both types of racial bias slowly increased again over time as (attention to) BLM faded. Further, changes in racial bias did not seem to be explained by corresponding shifts in social norms. Finally, drops in explicit bias appeared to reflect changes in sample demographics, while drops in implicit bias remained robust. We discuss our results in light of situational models of bias as well as their implications for protest movements.

“…Prior studies have also suggested that the Native American IAT provides meaningful information about prejudice. Specifically, Jimenez et al (2021) found that prejudicial backlash against the removal of Native American sports mascots was observed in regional data collected via the Native American IAT. Again, we retrieved explicit bias data, which is measured using adapted items from the anti-Black explicit bias measure, and computed state averages ( N = 19,067; see Fig.…”

Racial Prejudice Predicts Police Militarization

In the United States, police are becoming increasingly militarized. Whereas the racialized nature of police militarization has been documented, the relationship between racial prejudice and police militarization is less understood. We assessed the link between racial prejudice against Black and Native Americans and police militarization at individual and regional levels. Study 1 ( N = 765) recruited a nationally representative sample of White Americans and found a positive association between racial prejudice and support for police militarization. Study 2 ( N = 3,129,343) sourced regional aggregates of prejudice among White Americans from Project Implicit and policing data from the Defense Logistics Agency and found that police departments in states higher in prejudice acquired greater amounts of militarized equipment. Together, these studies demonstrate that, in terms of attitudes and policies, racial prejudice predicts police militarization.

“…For example, it will be important to examine judgments of discrimination against Indigenous people in future research. Given the prevalence of both historical and contemporary anti-Indigenous prejudice and discrimination, one might expect that Indigenous people should be a relatively close fit to the target prototype (e.g., Feagin, 2014;Findling et al, 2019;Jimenez et al, 2023;Loewen, 1995). However, given that Indigenous people are often treated as "invisible," we suspect that they may not be a close fit to the target prototype held in the broader U.S. culture and that discrimination against Indigenous people may be poorly recognized (e.g., Davis-Delano et al, 2021;Fryberg & Eason, 2017;Lopez et al, 2022).…”

Historically, psychological models of how people make judgments of discrimination have relied on a binary conceptualization of intergroup relations, making it unclear how people make judgments of discrimination in diverse, multigroup contexts. We propose that groups can vary in the extent to which they fit the prototype for targets of discrimination and that this variation influences judgments of discrimination in ambiguous circumstances. The present research examined attributions to discrimination when job applicants are rejected for a white-collar position. People consistently made more attributions to discrimination (ATDs) when managers rejected Black American as compared to Asian American job applicants, and when managers rejected Asian American as compared to White American job applicants. People also made more ATDs for rejected Black American as compared to Latino American applicants, but ATDs were similar for Latino and Asian American applicants. Overall, similar patterns were observed in majority White American samples and a Black/African American sample; only an Asian American sample did not make more ATDs for rejected Black than Asian American applicants. Six experiments (N = 2,321) found strong support for the relative fit hypothesis and suggest that, in a white-collar employment context, White Americans are a distant fit to the prototype for targets of discrimination, Asian and Latino Americans are an intermediate fit, and Black Americans are a close fit.
