Despite the traditional importance of Latinos in the U.S., the growing Latino population, and evidence of group-based disparities, psychological studies of discrimination against Latinos are surprisingly rare. The present research investigated the relationship between prejudice against Latinos and subtle bias, specifically the degree to which people offer autonomy-oriented relative to dependency-oriented assistance to a Latina in need. Participants read scenarios that described concrete social problems faced by particular Latinas, African Americans, or Whites and then indicated their support for forms of helping. Participants higher in prejudice against Latinos, assessed with an adaptation of the Modern Racism Scale, were less likely to offer autonomy-oriented help, and significantly more so after reading scenarios about a Latina than about an African American or a White woman. These findings extend previous work by identifying, experimentally, subtle bias against Latinas in helping and directly implicate the role of prejudice against Latinos in this process.
尽管拉丁裔在美国传统上很重要，拉丁裔人口也在不断增长，并且存在基于群体的差异的证据，但对歧视拉丁裔的心理学研究却出奇地罕见。本研究调查了对拉丁裔的偏见与微妙偏见之间的关系，特别是人们向有需要的拉丁裔提供自主导向的帮助与依赖导向的帮助的程度。参与者阅读了描述特定拉丁裔、非裔美国人和白人面临的具体社会问题的情景描述，然后表示他们对各种帮助形式的支持。使用现代种族主义量表的改编版评估，对拉丁裔偏见较高的参与者不太可能提供自主导向的帮助，而在阅读有关拉丁裔女性的情景描述后，这种情况更为明显，而非非裔美国女性或白人女性。这些发现通过实验识别出在帮助方面对拉丁裔女性的微妙偏见，并直接涉及到对拉丁裔的偏见在这一过程中的作用。
