Perceivers may adopt a novel racial category to categorize multiracial targets, but their willingness to do so may depend on their motivations. We investigated whether perceivers\u2019 levels of internal motivation to control prejudice (IMS) and external motivation to control prejudice (EMS) predicted their likelihood of categorizing Black\u2013White multiracial faces as Multiracial. Across four studies, IMS positively predicted perceivers\u2019 categorizations of multiracial faces as Multiracial. The association between IMS and Multiracial categorizations was strongest when faces were most racially ambiguous. Explicit prejudice, implicit prejudice, and interracial contact were ruled out as explanations for the relationship between IMS and Multiracial categorizations. EMS may be negatively associated with the use of the Multiracial category. Therefore, perceivers\u2019 motivations to control prejudice have important implications for racial categorization processes.<\/p>\n<p>Read or purchase the article <a href=\"http:\/\/psp.sagepub.com\/content\/early\/2014\/01\/22\/0146167213520457.full.pdf+html\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Motivation to Control Prejudice Predicts Categorization of Multiracials Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin Volume 40, Number 5 (May 2014) pages 590-603 DOI: 10.1177\/0146167213520457 Jacqueline M.
