Black individuals with phenotypically African features tend to experience heightened discrimination and mistreatment. The current research examined how racial phenotypicality and prototypicality effect hate crime reporting metrics and beliefs about who evaluators are represented #BlackLivesMatter. Across five studies (N = 876), results indicate that, compared to low racially phenotypic Black targets, high phenotypic targets were seen as more represented by #BlackLivesMatter (Study 1). When depicted as being the victim of a hate crime, high phenotypic targets were deemed more credible and that it was more appropriate for them to report their victimization on the #BlackLivesMatter website compared to their low phenotypic counterparts by White (Study 2a and 2c) and Black participants (Study 2b and 2c). Black (Study 2b and 2c) and White (Study 3) participants showed differences in perceptions of harm following hate crime victimization. Study 3 extended these findings to a separate manipulation of prototypicality and used a more ecologically valid context. These findings provide support for the problematic exclusivity of narrow prototypes by demonstrating their effect on beliefs about who social justice movements represent, and how they influence beliefs about victim reporting metrics.

黑人种族表型：对 #BlackLivesMatter 运动的影响


具有非洲表型特征的黑人个体往往会遭受更严重的歧视和虐待。目前的研究考察了种族表型和原型如何影响仇恨犯罪报告指标和关于评估者代表 #BlackLivesMatter 的看法。在五项研究 （N = 876） 中，结果表明，与低种族表型黑人靶标相比，高表型靶标被认为更能代表 #BlackLivesMatter（研究 1）。当被描述为仇恨犯罪的受害者时，高表型目标被认为更可信，与白人（研究 2a 和 2c）和黑人参与者（研究 2b 和 2c）的低表型对应物相比，他们在 #BlackLivesMatter 网站上报告受害情况更合适。黑人（研究 2b 和 2c）和白人（研究 3）参与者在仇恨犯罪受害后对伤害的看法存在差异。研究 3 将这些发现扩展到对原型性的单独操作，并使用了更具生态学有效性的背景。这些发现通过证明狭义原型对关于社会正义运动代表谁的信念的影响，以及它们如何影响对受害者报告指标的信念，为狭义原型的排他性问题提供了支持。
