摘要

We investigated the impact of a digital storytelling video on anti-Black racism among Latine emerging adults by exploring whether the video could enhance empathic reactions toward anti-Black racism, reduce fear of Black individuals, and ultimately lead to increased intentions for anti-racism advocacy. Latine emerging adults (Mage = 22.37; N = 216) were randomly assigned to view either storytelling or informational online videos and data were collected before and after viewing the videos. The changes in empathic reactions and fear were analyzed using polynomial regression and response surface analysis. As hypothesized the informational video did not yield significant improvements in anti-racism advocacy intentions through changes in empathy and fear. Contrary to our hypotheses, the storytelling video did not demonstrate a significant impact on enhancing empathy, reducing fear, or promoting greater anti-racism advocacy intentions. Our post-hoc results revealed two trends on attitudes toward anti-Black racism: one group that maintained high empathy and low fear, and another group that maintained low empathy and high fear before and after watching the storytelling video. Those who maintained high empathy reported significantly higher greater individual and institutional anti-racism advocacy intentions while those who maintained low fear reported significantly higher institutional anti-racism advocacy intentions. Results emphasize the need to examine what motivates Latine individuals who are highly interested in anti-racism efforts and provide careful considerations for designing digital anti-racism interventions for Latine individuals who may initially show disinterest in anti-racism and cross-racial solidarity.
