Confronting prejudice: The who, what, and why of confrontation effectiveness

Figures & data

Table 1. Mean scores on dependent variables as a function of type of prejudice and confronter race

	Type of prejudice
	Racism		Sexism
	Confronter race
Measure	White	Black	White	Black
Acceptance	4.45a (1.10)	3.99b (1.09)	3.92 (1.15)	4.19 (1.09)
Complainer	3.42a (1.12)	4.22b (1.20)	3.70 (1.33)	3.56 (1.41)
Expectations	4.51a (1.17)	5.19b (1.10)	4.42 (1.27)	4 .41 (1.06)
Within each type of prejudice condition, confronter race means differ significantly from each other p < .05 at least if they do not share a common subscript.

Figure 1. The relation between type of confronter and acceptance mediated by complainer and expectancy in the racism condition. All coefficients are significant at p < .05 or less except the direct effect (c′) of type of confronter on persuasion when the mediators are included in the model.
