The Influence of Racial Demographic Threat and Racial Attitudes on Support for Equity-Enhancing and Equity-Attenuating School Policies

Poster Session VI

Keyword: Public Policy

Abstract: We investigated the impact of racial demographic change on support for racial equity-enhancing or attenuating school policies, and whether racial attitudes, Social Dominance Orientation, and Racialized Adultification moderate this effect. Racial demographic threat did not influence policy support, however our individual differences predicted higher levels of equity-attenuating policy support.
