The present study examined middle school students' responses to the 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. Using a consensual qualitative research approach, we analyzed interviews from 73 local, seventh-grade students (58% female; 55% students of color) to explore the range of students' emotional responses and cognitive engagement with the events. The resulting six profiles document heterogeneity in meaning-making and personal impacts across youth. Individual and social factors including race and ethnic identity varied across profiles. Many students of color expressed fear and vigilance toward racial violence while many White students expressed sadness and sympathy. We discuss the role of developmental factors in students' reactions as well as implications for supporting early adolescents in the wake of bias-motivated violence.
本研究考察了中学生对 2017 年弗吉尼亚州夏洛茨维尔“联合右翼”集会的反应。我们采用共识定性研究方法，分析了 73 名当地七年级学生（58%为女性；55%为有色人种学生）的访谈，以探讨学生对事件的情绪反应和认知参与的范围。得出的六个特征描述文件记录了青年人群体在意义构建和个人影响方面的异质性。包括种族和族裔认同在内的个体和社会因素在特征描述文件中各不相同。许多有色人种学生对种族暴力表示恐惧和警惕，而许多白人学生则表示悲伤和同情。我们讨论了发展因素在学生反应中的作用，以及在针对偏见的暴力事件后为支持青少年所带来的启示。
