Effects of a Brief Video Intervention on White University Students' Racial Attitudes
Soble, Jason R.; Spanierman, Lisa B.; Liao, Hsin-Ya
Journal of Counseling Psychology, v58 n1 p151-157 Jan 2011
The authors investigated the effects of a brief video intervention on the racial attitudes of White university students. One hundred thirty-eight self-identified White students were randomly assigned to either an experimental condition in which they viewed a video documenting the pervasiveness of institutional racism and White privilege in the United States or a neutral control condition. Findings offer preliminary support that participants in the experimental, but not the control, condition showed significant increases in racial awareness (i.e., decrease in racial color-blindness), White empathy, and White guilt, at posttest. However, no significant differences in racial prejudice or White fear of racial minorities were observed at posttest. Implications for multicultural counseling training, diversity programming, and future research are discussed. (Contains 2 tables and 1 footnote.)
