Abstract
Reviews recent unobtrusive studies of anti-Black racism among White Americans. It focuses on experiments on helping behavior, aggression, and nonverbal communication. In each of these areas, data suggest that anti-Black sentiments are much more prevalent among Whites than the survey data lead one to expect. An attempt is made to reconcile the empirical findings with 3 models of social attitudes and behavior. The pattern of results accords well with the models of H. C. Kelman and D. T. Campbell (1936), whereas the model proposed by A. Poskocil is found to be deficient. It is concluded that anti-Black prejudice is still strong among US Whites. (3 p ref)
