2023-2024 ISSR Scholars Project Title: Understanding How People of Color Respond to Narratives of Rising Diversity
Racial and ethnic diversity has been rising in the U.S. and, according to the Census Bureau, the current majority constituted by those who identify solely as non-Hispanic White is decreasing, while a growing number of Americans identify as Black, Latinx, Asian, or with more than one race. This study proposes a three-wave population-based experiment to investigate the influence of exposure to salient media narratives about the changing composition of U.S. society, the moderating role of multiraciality in families, and the responses of people of color.
