Psychosocial Costs of Racism to Whites: Exploring Patterns through Cluster Analysis
Spanierman, Lisa B.; Poteat, V. Paul; Beer, Amanda M.; Armstrong, Patrick Ian
Journal of Counseling Psychology, v53 n4 p434-441 Oct 2006
Participants (230 White college students) completed the Psychosocial Costs of Racism to Whites (PCRW) Scale. Using cluster analysis, we identified 5 distinct cluster groups on the basis of PCRW subscale scores: the unempathic and unaware cluster contained the lowest empathy scores; the insensitive and afraid cluster consisted of low empathy and guilt scores, with the highest score on fear; the fearful guilt cluster exhibited elevations on guilt and fear; the empathic but unaccountable cluster reflected high empathy with low guilt and fear; and the informed empathy and guilt cluster represented those high on empathy and guilt in conjunction with low levels of fear. Groups were validated on an additional sample (n = 366) and were found to differ significantly on theoretically related measures.
