Summary
While past research has investigated the interpersonal costs of confronting prejudice, this work aims to examine features of confrontations that reduce backlash to confronters, but are still effective at reducing prejudiced attitudes. We predict that confrontations that claim that prejudice is unintentional (i.e., unintentional confrontation) will result in less social backlash to the confronter than confrontations that claim that prejudice is intentional (i.e., intentional confrontation), or make no mention of intention (i.e., base confrontation). We also predict that unintentional confrontations will be less effective at producing attitude change than intentional confrontations or base confrontations.
