Intergroup Anxiety and Related Fear Constructs: Confirmatory Factor Analysis within Privileged and Marginalized Racial Groups

Poster Session II

Keyword: Racism and Discrimination

Abstract: Intergroup anxiety (IA) is anticipatory distress about interactions with people from groups one does not belong to. However, it is unclear whether IA manifests differently for members of groups that vary in power and privilege. This study took a step toward delineating conceptual boundaries for IA using confirmatory factor analyses.
