Most use untimed explicit indexes and qualitative\/self-report measures. Here, we used not only explicit responses (participants\u2019 choice of response categories) but also implicit data (participants\u2019 response times, RT). In a Stroop task, 92 Black, White, and mixed-race participants classified photographs of mixed-race persons. Photos were accompanied by a word, such as Black or White. Participants ignored the word, simply deciding whether to categorize photos as White or Black. Averaged across three different instructional sets, White participants categorized mixed-race slightly to the White side of the center point, with Black participants doing the converse.<strong> Intriguingly, mixed-race participants placed mixed-race photos further toward Black than did the Black group. But for RT, they now indicated midway between White and Black participants.<\/strong> We conclude that at the conscious (key-press) level, mixed-race persons see being mixed-race as Black, but at the unconscious (RT) level, their perception is a perfect balance between Black and White. Findings are discussed in terms of two recent theories of racial identity.<\/p>\n<p>Read or purchase the article <a href=\"http:\/\/jbp.sagepub.com\/content\/early\/2014\/07\/23\/0095798414550248.full.pdf+html\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Perceptions of Mixed-Race: A Study Using an Implicit Index Journal of Black Psychology Published online before print: 2014-11-12 DOI: 10.1177\/0095798414550248 Barlow Wright, Senior Lecturer in Psychology Brunel University London, England Michael Olyedemi Brunel University London, England Stanley O.
