Research on intergroup ideologies (colorblindness, multiculturalism) has increased our understanding of intergroup attitudes. This article reports empirical tests of the relation between a newly studied ideology, polyculturalism (ideology focusing on interactions and connections among racial/ethnic groups), and intergroup attitudes. Across four studies (with racially/ethnically diverse U.S. undergraduates, and Black and White American adults), greater endorsement of polyculturalism was related to greater equality beliefs; appreciation for and comfort with diversity; willingness for intergroup contact; and endorsement of liberal immigration and affirmative action policies. Polyculturalism explained unique variance after controlling for colorblindness, multiculturalism, assimilation ideology, social dominance orientation, and right-wing authoritarianism. Implications and future directions of studying polyculturalism are discussed.
群体间意识形态（种族盲视、多元文化主义）的研究增进了我们对群体间态度的理解。本文报告了对一种新研究的意识形态——多元文化主义（关注种族/族群之间的互动和联系的意识形态）与群体间态度之间关系的实证检验。在四项研究中（对象是具有不同种族/民族背景的美国本科生，以及美国黑人和白人成年人），对多元文化主义的更大认同与更大的平等信念、对多样性的欣赏和舒适感、对群体间接触的意愿以及对自由移民和平权行动政策的支持有关。在控制了种族盲视、多元文化主义、同化意识形态、社会支配倾向和右翼威权主义之后，多元文化主义解释了独特的差异。本文讨论了研究多元文化主义的意义和未来方向。
