DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of the proposed investigation is to examine the ways in which adolescents' exposure to media depictions of real-world ethnic and political violence interacts with personal and contextual factors to affect attitudes, beliefs, and stereotypes regarding other ethnic groups. We are particularly interested in the extent to which differences in beliefs, attitudes, and stereotypes about other ethnic groups among children with similar backgrounds can be accounted for by differences in media exposure to ethnic violence and/or differences in identification with the aggressors and victims of violence, differences in empathy, and differences in ethnic and social identity. We also want to examine age differences in such effects and how those relations vary by the socio-ethnic context in which the child lives. We plan to address these issues with a study of high school youth in two ethnically diverse suburbs of Detroit - one that is predominately Arab-American and one that is predominately Jewish-American. The proposed design is a cross-sectional field study that will involve collecting data from two age groups of adolescents, ninth and twelfth graders, with approximately 200 participants in each group. Because of the sensitive nature of ethnic attitudes and stereotypes, we plan to assess the participants' ethnic stereotypes with two implicit measures that are less sensitive to bias, while assessing media exposure, identity, contextual and personal factors, and explicit attitudes through self-report interviews.

描述（由申请人提供）：拟议调查的目标是研究青少年接触现实世界种族和政治暴力的媒体描述与个人和背景因素相互作用的方式，从而影响对其他群体的态度、信仰和刻板印象。族裔群体。我们特别感兴趣的是，具有相似背景的儿童对其他种族群体的信仰、态度和刻板印象的差异在多大程度上可以通过媒体对种族暴力的曝光差异和/或对暴力侵害者和受害者的认同差异来解释。暴力、同理心差异以及种族和社会身份差异。我们还想研究这种影响的年龄差异，以及这些关系如何因儿童生活的社会种族背景而变化。我们计划通过对底特律两个种族多元化郊区的高中青年进行研究来解决这些问题——一个主要是阿拉伯裔美国人，另一个主要是犹太裔美国人。拟议的设计是一项横断面实地研究，将涉及收集九年级和十二年级两个年龄段青少年的数据，每组大约有 200 名参与者。由于种族态度和刻板印象的敏感性，我们计划使用两种对偏见不太敏感的隐性衡量标准来评估参与者的种族刻板印象，同时通过自我报告评估媒体曝光度、身份、背景和个人因素以及外显态度采访。
