This meta-analysis summarizes the results of research on the relationships of majority group members' endorsement of assimilation, colorblindness, multiculturalism, and the relative relationships of colorblindness and multiculturalism to ethnic prejudice. Random effects analyses found that assimilation was positively related to explicit prejudice (. = 0.80), multiculturalism was negatively related to both explicit (. = -0.26) and implicit prejudice (. = -0.19), and colorblindness was negatively related to explicit prejudice (. = -0.07). Multiculturalism was more closely associated with low prejudice than colorblindness ( = 0.15). Effect sizes varied as a function of methodology (experimental vs. correlational), country in which research was conducted (United States vs. other countries), and, in experimental studies of multiculturalism, type of prime used (abstract vs. concrete). Discussion points include methodological issues, groups used as targets of prejudice, national diversity norms, additional issues raised in the studies reviewed, and directions for future research.
这项荟萃分析总结了关于多数群体成员对同化、色盲、多元文化主义的认同，以及色盲和多元文化主义与种族偏见的相对关系的研究结果。随机效应分析发现，同化与显性偏见呈正相关（β=0.80），多元文化主义与显性（β=-0.26）和隐性偏见（β=-0.19）均呈负相关，而色盲与显性偏见呈负相关（β=-0.07）。多元文化主义与低偏见的相关性比色盲更强（β=0.15）。研究方法（实验与相关）、研究所在国家（美国与其他国家）以及多元文化主义的实验研究中使用的启动类型（抽象与具体）等因素均会影响效应大小。讨论的要点包括方法学问题、作为偏见目标的群体、国家多样性规范、综述研究中提出的其他问题，以及未来研究的方向。
