|
-1. **General Observations:** |
1135 |
|
- - Tested **17 different interventions** across **6,321 participants**, all measured via IAT (Implicit Association Test). |
1136 |
|
- - Focused exclusively on reducing **pro-White, anti-Black preferences** — no reciprocal testing on anti-White bias. |
1137 |
|
- |
1138 |
|
-2. **Subgroup Analysis:** |
1139 |
|
- - Educational and exposure-based interventions (e.g., multiculturalism, egalitarian messaging) failed to reduce bias significantly. |
1140 |
|
- - Most effective short-term results came from **trauma-based or emotionally coercive interventions**. |
1141 |
|
- |
1142 |
|
-3. **Other Significant Data Points:** |
1143 |
|
- - 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. |
1144 |
|
- - Effects of even the most extreme interventions **dissipated within 24–72 hours**, with no long-term behavioral change. |

1148 |
|
-1. **Primary Observations:** |
1149 |
|
- - The interventions that produced the most dramatic IAT changes used **emotionally graphic narratives** depicting Whites as violent aggressors and Blacks as saviors. |
1150 |
|
- - Merely showing positive Black images or promoting egalitarian values had minimal effect on implicit associations. |
1151 |
|
- |
1152 |
|
-2. **Subgroup Trends:** |
1153 |
|
- - 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. |
1154 |
|
- - 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. |
1155 |
|
- |
1156 |
|
-3. **Specific Case Analysis:** |
1157 |
|
- - 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. |
1158 |
|
- - The study was **cited by the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP)** to justify DEI-aligned policy recommendations. |

|
-1. **Strengths of the Study:** |
1163 |
|
- - Large sample size and systematic comparison across diverse intervention types. |
1164 |
|
- - Clearly shows that **implicit preference is resilient** and not easily changed by education or exposure alone. |
1165 |
|
- |
1166 |
|
-2. **Limitations of the Study:** |
1167 |
|
- - The most “effective” methods **relied on emotional manipulation, not persuasion or evidence**. |
1168 |
|
- - Assumes **natural in-group preference is pathological** when expressed by White subjects but makes no effort to test other groups. |
1169 |
|
- - **Zero attention to pro-Black or anti-White bias** — only White attitudes are pathologized. |
1170 |
|
- |
1171 |
|
-3. **Suggestions for Improvement:** |
1172 |
|
- - Test the **psychological harm** and ethical implications of using graphic racial trauma to coerce attitude change. |
1173 |
|
- - Include interventions that **strengthen ingroup empathy** without demonizing other groups. |
1174 |
|
- - Disaggregate bias by **class, region, and individual experience**, rather than racially reducing all bias to “Whiteness.” |

|
- - High-quality quantitative meta-analysis with clear design and robust statistical handling. |

1817 |

- - Ignores the effects of **overexposure to minority portrayals** on cultural alienation or backlash. |
