Living in America with the Skin I Am in: Quantitative Study of Fear of Others, Guilt, Empathy, and Skin Color.

The present study explores the psychosocial costs of racism on Americans. The Psychosocial Costs of Racism to White Scale ( Spanierman & Heppner, 2004) and the New Immigrant Survey (Douglas & Martin, 2003) are used to measure fear, empathy, guilt, and skin tone among people. Results will be discussed.
