--{{expandable summary="Study: Reducing Implicit Racial Preferences: I. A Comparative Investigation of 17 Interventions"}}
--**Source:** *Psychological Science*
--**Date of Publication:** *2014*
--**Author(s):** *Caleb E. Lai, Anthony G. Greenwald, et al.*
--**Title:** *"Reducing Implicit Racial Preferences: I. A Comparative Investigation of 17 Interventions"*
--**DOI:** [10.1177/0956797614535812](https://doi.org/10.1177/0956797614535812)
--**Subject Matter:** *Implicit Bias, Racial Psychology, Psychological Conditioning*
--
--{{expandable summary="📊 Key Statistics"}}
--1. **General Observations:**
--   - Tested **17 different interventions** across **6,321 participants**, all measured via IAT (Implicit Association Test).
--   - Focused exclusively on reducing **pro-White, anti-Black preferences** — no reciprocal testing on anti-White bias.
--
--2. **Subgroup Analysis:**
--   - Educational and exposure-based interventions (e.g., multiculturalism, egalitarian messaging) failed to reduce bias significantly.
--   - Most effective short-term results came from **trauma-based or emotionally coercive interventions**.
--
--3. **Other Significant Data Points:**
--   - The **"Black hero" intervention**, where participants imagined being violently attacked by a White man and rescued by a Black man, was among the most effective.
--   - Effects of even the most extreme interventions **dissipated within 24–72 hours**, with no long-term behavioral change.
--{{/expandable}}
--
--{{expandable summary="🔬 Findings"}}
--1. **Primary Observations:**
--   - The interventions that produced the most dramatic IAT changes used **emotionally graphic narratives** depicting Whites as violent aggressors and Blacks as saviors.
--   - Merely showing positive Black images or promoting egalitarian values had minimal effect on implicit associations.
--
--2. **Subgroup Trends:**
--   - In the **"Black hero" condition**, participants were asked to imagine being physically beaten by a White person and then rescued by a Black person — an intentionally vivid and disturbing scenario.
--   - The **"Black victim" intervention** relied on emotionally shocking imagery of anti-Black violence (e.g., lynching) to induce guilt and disrupt positive associations with Whiteness.
--
--3. **Specific Case Analysis:**
--   - None of the scenarios reversed the framing (e.g., Black aggressor/White victim), confirming the ideological goal was **to degrade White identity**, not merely reduce bias.
--   - The study was **cited by the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP)** to justify DEI-aligned policy recommendations.
--{{/expandable}}
--
--{{expandable summary="📝 Critique & Observations"}}
--1. **Strengths of the Study:**
--   - Large sample size and systematic comparison across diverse intervention types.
--   - Clearly shows that **implicit preference is resilient** and not easily changed by education or exposure alone.
--
--2. **Limitations of the Study:**
--   - The most “effective” methods **relied on emotional manipulation, not persuasion or evidence**.
--   - Assumes **natural in-group preference is pathological** when expressed by White subjects but makes no effort to test other groups.
--   - **Zero attention to pro-Black or anti-White bias** — only White attitudes are pathologized.
--
--3. **Suggestions for Improvement:**
--   - Test the **psychological harm** and ethical implications of using graphic racial trauma to coerce attitude change.
--   - Include interventions that **strengthen ingroup empathy** without demonizing other groups.
--   - Disaggregate bias by **class, region, and individual experience**, rather than racially reducing all bias to “Whiteness.”
--{{/expandable}}
--
--{{expandable summary="📌 Relevance to Subproject"}}
--- Provides direct evidence that **DEI-style implicit bias training** is based on emotionally abusive and **anti-White psychological framing**.
--- Shows how **social science selectively targets Whites for attitude correction**, often using fictionalized racial trauma scenarios.
--- Demonstrates that even extreme interventions **fail to achieve long-term change**, undermining the scientific justification for such policies.
--{{/expandable}}

--{{expandable summary="🔍 Suggestions for Further Exploration"}}
--1. Investigate **implicit bias training outcomes** in real-world institutional settings.
--2. Study **the ethical limits of psychological reprogramming** in DEI policies.
--3. Explore **natural ingroup preference across all races** using morally neutral frameworks.

--**Title:** *"Meta-Analysis on Mediated Contact and Prejudice"*
--**DOI:** [10.1093/joc/jqz032](https://doi.org/10.1093/joc/jqz032)

--
--{{expandable summary="📊 Key Statistics"}}
--1. **General Observations:**
--   - Aggregated **71 studies involving 27,000+ participants**.
--   - Focused on how **media portrayals of out-groups (primarily minorities)** affect attitudes among dominant in-groups (i.e., Whites).
--
--2. **Subgroup Analysis:**
--   - **Fictional entertainment** had stronger effects than news.
--   - **Positive portrayals of minorities** correlated with significant reductions in “prejudice”.
--
--3. **Other Significant Data Points:**
--   - Effects were stronger when minority characters were portrayed as **warm, competent, and morally relatable**.
--   - Contact was more effective when it mimicked **face-to-face friendship narratives**.
--{{/expandable}}
--
--{{expandable summary="🔬 Findings"}}
--1. **Primary Observations:**
--   - Media is a **powerful tool for shaping racial attitudes**, capable of reducing “prejudice” without real-world contact.
--   - **Repeated exposure** to positive portrayals of minorities led to increased acceptance and reduced negative bias.
--
--2. **Subgroup Trends:**
--   - **White participants** were the primary targets of reconditioning.
--   - Minority participants were not studied in terms of **prejudice against Whites**.
--
--3. **Specific Case Analysis:**
--   - “Parasocial” relationships with minority characters (TV/movie exposure) had comparable psychological effects to actual friendships.
--   - Media framing functioned as a **top-down mechanism for social engineering**, not just passive reflection of society.
--{{/expandable}}
--
--{{expandable summary="📝 Critique & Observations"}}
--1. **Strengths of the Study:**
--   - High-quality quantitative meta-analysis with clear design and robust statistical handling.
--   - Acknowledges **media’s ability to alter long-held social beliefs** without physical contact.
--
--2. **Limitations of the Study:**
--   - Only defines “prejudice” as **negative attitudes from Whites toward minorities** — no exploration of anti-White media narratives or bias.
--   - Ignores the effects of **overexposure to minority portrayals** on cultural alienation or backlash.
--   - Assumes **assimilation into DEI norms is inherently positive**, and any reluctance to accept them is “prejudice”.
--
--3. **Suggestions for Improvement:**
--   - Study reciprocal dynamics — how **minority media portrayals impact attitudes toward Whites**.
--   - Investigate whether constant valorization of minorities leads to **resentment, guilt, or political disengagement** among White viewers.
--   - Analyze **media saturation effects**, especially in multicultural propaganda and corporate DEI messaging.
--{{/expandable}}
--
--{{expandable summary="📌 Relevance to Subproject"}}
--- Provides **direct evidence** that media is being used to **reshape racial attitudes** through emotional, parasocial contact.
--- Reinforces concern that **“tolerance” is engineered via asymmetric emotional exposure**, not organic consensus.
--- Useful for documenting how **Whiteness is often treated as a bias to be corrected**, not a culture to be respected.
