@article {4203, title = {The Joint Effect of Bias Awareness and Self-Reported Prejudice on Intergroup Anxiety and Intentions for Intergroup Contact.}, journal = {Cultural diversity \& ethnic minority psychology}, year = {2014}, month = {2014 Aug 11}, abstract = {Two correlational studies investigated the joint effect of bias awareness-a new individual difference measure that assesses Whites{\textquoteright} awareness and concern about their propensity to be biased-and prejudice on Whites{\textquoteright} intergroup anxiety and intended intergroup contact. Using a community sample (Study 1), we found the predicted Bias Awareness {\texttimes} Prejudice interaction. Prejudice was more strongly related to interracial anxiety among those high (vs. low) in bias awareness. Study 2 investigated potential behavioral consequences in an important real world context: medical students{\textquoteright} intentions for working primarily with minority patients. Study 2 replicated the Bias Awareness {\texttimes} Prejudice interaction and further demonstrated that interracial anxiety mediated medical students{\textquoteright} intentions to work with minority populations.
