In 4 studies, the authors examined the effect of approaching Blacks on implicit racial attitudes and immediacy behaviors. In Studies 1-3, participants were trained to pull a joystick toward themselves or to push it away from themselves when presented with photographs of Blacks, Whites, or Asians before completing an Implicit Association Test to measure racial bias. In Study 4, the effect of this training procedure on nonverbal behavior in an interracial contact situation was investigated. Results from the studies demonstrated that approaching Blacks decreased participants' implicit racial prejudice and increased immediacy when interacting with a Black confederate. The implications of these findings for current theories on approach, avoidance, and intergroup relations are discussed.
在4项研究中，作者考察了接近黑人对隐性种族态度和即时行为的影响。在研究1至3中，参与者在完成一项用于测量种族偏见的内隐联想测验之前，当看到黑人、白人或亚洲人的照片时，接受训练将操纵杆拉向自己或推离自己。在研究4中，考察了这种训练程序对跨种族接触情境中非言语行为的影响。这些研究的结果表明，接近黑人会减少参与者的隐性种族偏见，并在与黑人同盟互动时增加即时性。讨论了这些发现对当前关于接近、回避和群体间关系理论的启示。
