Research to-date on generalized prejudice has focused primarily on personality factors. Further work is needed identifying manipulable variables that directly inform antiprejudice interventions. This study examined three such variables: empathic concern, perspective taking, and psychological inflexibility/flexibility with prejudiced thoughts, as a test of the flexible connectedness model. A sample of 604 undergraduate students completed online surveys. A model indicated prejudice measures loaded onto a latent variable of generalized prejudice. In a second model, psychological inflexibility, flexibility, empathic concern, and perspective taking were all significant, independent predictors of generalized prejudice. Psychological inflexibility also predicted prejudice above and beyond personality and general inflexibility variables. Results suggest the three components of the flexible connectedness model may be important targets for prejudice interventions.
迄今为止，关于普遍偏见的研究主要集中在人格因素上。需要进一步开展工作，以确定能够直接为反偏见干预措施提供信息的可操控变量。本研究考察了三个这样的变量：共情关注、观点采择以及对偏见性想法的心理僵化/灵活性，以此来检验灵活联结模型。604名本科生样本完成了在线调查。一个模型表明，偏见测量指标加载到了一个普遍偏见的潜在变量上。在第二个模型中，心理僵化、灵活性、共情关注和观点采择都是普遍偏见的显著独立预测因素。心理僵化还在人格和一般僵化变量之外预测了偏见。结果表明，灵活联结模型的这三个组成部分可能是偏见干预的重要目标。
