Scholars have proposed 2 separable dimensions of racial colorblind ideology: the first is centered on "not seeing color" (i.e., color evasion), and the second is centered on denying racism (i.e., power evasion). Yet, to date, there is no psychometric evidence for this distinction. In this article, we aim to fill this gap by establishing the presence of and characterizing differences between these 2 dimensions using both variable-centered and person-centered approaches. Study 1A (n = 707) provides exploratory factor analytic evidence supporting the separability of power and color evasion. Study 1B (n = 710) provides confirmatory evidence of this factor structure and evidence of discriminant validity. In Study 1B, 3 latent profiles based on power and color evasion were identified: acknowledgers (low color evasion, low power evasion), evaders (high color evasion, average power evasion), and deniers (average color evasion, average power evasion), which differed on relevant variables (e.g., modern racism, support for affirmative-action). In Study 2 (n = 546), these profiles were replicated and extended by examining differences in attitudes and desire to engage in campus diversity activities. Implications for racial colorblind ideology theory and practical applications are discussed. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2020 APA, all rights reserved).
学者们提出了种族盲视意识形态的 2 个可分离维度：第一个维度以“无视肤色”（即回避肤色）为中心，第二个维度以否认种族主义（即回避权力）为中心。然而，迄今为止，尚无心理测量学证据支持这种区分。本文旨在通过使用变量中心和个体中心的方法，为这两个维度的存在及其差异提供实证证据，从而填补这一空白。研究 1A（n = 707）提供了探索性因素分析的证据，支持权力回避和肤色回避的可分离性。研究 1B（n = 710）提供了该结构的验证性证据和判别效度的证据。在研究 1B 中，根据权力和肤色回避确定了 3 个潜在的特征群：承认者（低肤色回避，低权力回避）、回避者（高肤色回避，平均权力回避）和否认者（平均肤色回避，平均权力回避），这些特征在相关变量上存在差异（例如，现代种族主义、对平权行动的支持）。在研究 2（n = 546）中，通过考察对校园多样性活动的态度和参与意愿的差异，复制和扩展了这些特征。讨论了种族盲视意识形态理论和实际应用的意义。（PsycInfo 数据库记录（c）2020 APA，保留所有权利）。
