Influence of racial identity and ideology on future neighborhood preferences.
Abstract
This study investigated the relationship between personal worldview
ideologies (colorblind, monocultural and/or multicultural), White racial identity,
and future neighborhood preferences among White high school and college
students. Using a quasi-experimental design, participants chose pictures of
families that varied by race to create “desirable” and “undesirable”
neighborhoods in an imagined future community. Personal worldview ideologies
and White racial identity were assessed through responses on four
questionnaires. The results provided evidence of a relationship between racial
ideology and identity. The study also found that autonomy and reintegration
racial identity statuses were predictors of neighborhood preferences.
