Hierarchy maintenance and in-group rejection : when hierarchy concerns drive rejection of highly identified in-group members
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- We examine the possibility that Whites might reject high racial identity Whites' bids for political positions in order to avoid upsetting minorities. In Experiment 1, we observed that Whites were more supportive of low White identity White candidates. Additionally, the relationship between racial identity and political support among Whites was mediated by assumptions that high identity White candidates would upset the status hierarchy. In Experiment 2, we found that Whites were less supportive of high White identity White candidates when the hierarchy was said to be unstable as opposed to stable. In Experiment 3, we observed that pro-hierarchy Whites expressed a strong preference for high over low racial identity White candidates when they believed that the hierarchy was stable but this preference disappeared when the hierarchy was said to be unstable.
