Abstract
The present study examined whether inducing the strategies of self or other-blame in response to a racist scenario affects mood via self-report, pitch, and language. Results revealed that the other-blame group used more positive emotion words, cognitive processing words, and had greater pitch, demonstrating the importance of externalizing racism experiences.
