As a signatory to Durban III World Conference against Racism, Discrimination, Xenophobia and other forms of Intolerance, Brazil has committed itself to the enforcement of mechanisms to promote social equity. As a consequence, governmental programs have been implemented, aiming at the inclusion of Afro-descendents in higher education. Actually, the quantity of such students in the academy is minimal and does not relate to what can be observed in the general population. As an example of such endeavor, Universidade de Brasília (UnB) has started an Affirmative Action program in order to include a contingent of 20% of its freshman students as representatives of racial underprivileged groups. This policy started in August 2004. The present study aimed to investigate the perceptions of students and general public to this policy. An instrument, based partially on McConahay's (1986) Modern Racism scale, was administered to a sample of 316 students. A factor analysis (AF) extracted five factors, corresponding to 48% of the total variance explained. An Analysis of Variance (Anova) was performed to better understand the results, concerning both age and gender of the subjects. Results show that, although students demonstrated interest in the implementing of Affirmative Action programs, and are aware of the relevance of such procedures to the cultural and social structure of the community, they do not agree with their reasons or measures taken, or to the existence of the problem itself.

Perpetrator Blame

The objective of this study is to investigate the relationship between modern racism and rape victim and perpetrator blame, and rape perception. Participants from both a community population ( n = 211) and a student population ( n = 200) read a rape vignette and provided their judgements of blame towards a victim and perpetrator, their perception of the event as rape, and later answered the modern racism scale. Results showed a significant positive relationship between modern racism and rape victim blame ( r = .35, R2 [Formula: see text] 100 = 12.1%), while modern racism had a significant negative relationship with perpetrator blame ( r = −.27, R2 [Formula: see text] 100 = 7.5%) and rape perception ( r = −.29, R2 [Formula: see text] 100 = 8.7%). Implications for the criminal justice system as well as suggestions for future research were discussed.

This study examined the effects of framing on participant interest and retention ofdiversity-related material. In this study, 204 students from undergraduate psychology coursesacross two universities read a vignette about Kenneth and Mamie Clark. The vignette waspresented in the context of one of four frames that either highlighted or did not highlight theirminority status and/or their status as leaders in their field. After reading the vignette, studentsresponded to 13 items measuring recall of the material figures and 11 items assessing theirinterest in these figures. Participants also responded to the Scale of Ethnocultural Empathy(SEE), Modern Racism Scale (MRS), and Color-Blind Racial Attitudes Scale (CoBRAS). Thedata found in the present study provided varying levels of support for the hypotheses. The effectswere stronger for Illinois participants, which may be due to the larger sample size collectedand/or the greater diversity of the school population. These results bring to light an interestingpotential area of future research that could eventually impact school curricula. It is possible that abetter understanding of effective methods for engaging students in discussions of diversity maybe around the corner. Participant race, gender, location, and major all had varying degrees of aneffect on the results, indicating that, like many other topics in psychology, understanding howpeople react to diversity discussions is not simply black and white.

The Relationship

AbstractThe present work presents three studies that investigate the relationship between causal attributions of poverty in Africa, attitudes towards African immigrants and perspective-taking. The objective of preliminary study (N = 54) was to collect information to adapt the Perceived Causes of Third World Poverty Scale (Hine & Montiel, 1999), in the Spanish adaptation by Betancor et al. (2002) to Spanish adolescents. The Study 1 (N = 102) explores the factorial structure of the teenager questionnaire adaptation and to test the relationship with Modern Racism Scale (McConahay, 1986). Correlational analysis reflects the existence of a central element in the new forms of racism: Victim blaming through Personal Attributions of Poverty. The objective of Study 2 (N = 62) was to determine whether empathic induction through empathic perspective-taking (Batson et al., 1997) can ameliorate the individual’s attributions of poverty concerning African immigrants among majority group members. However, the opposite effect was found, empathy induction increased Personal Attributions of poverty (η2 = .10). This effect was moderated by Modern Racism, simple slope test indicates t(52) = 2.49, p < .01, higher prejudiced participants increased Personal Attribution of poverty after empathic induction, blaming the victims for their situation.

Este trabalho resulta da investigação da incidência do preconceito racial em professores da rede pública, considerando sua relação com a produção de ações que levem ao fracasso escolar dos discentes. A metodologia foi quantitativa, exploratório-descritiva. Participaram 201 professores de ambos os sexos, entre 25 e 59 anos, do Ensino Fundamental público de Floriano/PI, correspondendo a 44,46% da amostra significativa da localidade. Os dados foram coletados com a Escala de Racismo Moderno e analisados estatisticamente pelo programa GraphPadPrism para estimar aspectos da categorização e variáveis envolvidas acerca do preconceito racial. Constatou-se que a discriminação é expressa de forma silenciada, por meio do falso mito da democracia racial: embora os entrevistados tenham-se declarado isentos de preconceitos, os conteúdos de suas concepções mostram o contrário.Palavras-chave: Preconceito racial.

Fracasso.The incidence of racial prejudice on teachers: a predictor of school failure of students?AbstractThis work results from an investigation on the incidence of racial prejudice on public school teachers, considering their relationship with the production of actions that lead to the school failure of the students. The method was quantitive, exploratory and descriptive. The study consisted on 201 teachers of both genders, between 25 and 59 years old, which belong to a public elementary school of the city of Floriano/PI, corresponding to 44.46% of the representative sample of the locality. Data were collected with the modern racism scale, and statistically analyzed by GraphPadPrism program to estimate aspects of categorization, and variables involved in racial prejudice. It was found that the discrimination was expressed in a muted way through the false myth of racial democracy: although the teachers had declared themselves free of prejudices, the contents of their conceptions show otherwise.Keywords: Racial prejudice.

Racial Factors

Stereotypes about Black sexuality fostered hypotheses that racial factors and racism influence rape victim blaming. Predominantly White and Asian college students (170 men, 162 women) completed the Modern Racism Scale and evaluated a rape vignette varying victim race, perpetrator race, and rape type. As predicted, racial factors determined victim blaming. Compared to intraracial rapes, interracial rapes were less uniformly judged as “definitely rape” and were judged as having more culpable and less credible victims, and less culpable perpetrators. For men, racism scores positively predicted victim blaming in all rapes. For women, racism scores moderated victim blaming in interracial acquaintance rapes. In our conclusions, we emphasize the durability of racial stereotypes about rape and their influence on discriminatory adjudication outcomes.
