Utsey, Shawn O.; McCarthy, Eileen; Eubanks, Robin; Adrian, Genaro

Journal of Multicultural Counseling and Development, v30 n2 p81-95 Apr 2002

This study examined causal relationships between anxiety, racism, and self-esteem in a sample of White graduate and undergraduate students (N=169). Results indicated that level of anxiety had a direct effect on anti-Black attitudes, which, in turn, had a direct effect on self-esteem. Implications for counseling interventions aimed at preventing prejudice among whites are discussed. (Author)
