ABSTRACT

I offer a new measure of perceived proprietary right (PPR) to resources as an operationalization of one critical aspect of Harold Blumer’s group threat theory. Black (n = 82), Asian (n = 72), and White (n = 176) participants completed PPR items in the context of a residential resource allocation task designed to evoke competitive threat. A four-factor model of PPR was established through exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses. For Black participants, competitive threat was directly related to anti-Asian prejudice. For Asian participants, competitive threat was related to anti-Black prejudice indirectly, through belief in merit as a source of PPR. Moderated parallel mediation models also uncovered PPR beliefs – on the basis of past oppression and outsider status – as possible sources of allyship between Black and Asian community members. Findings are discussed in relation to Black and Asian relations specifically and the contribution of PPR to intergroup relations more generally.

 抽象的

我提出了一种新的资源感知专有权利 (PPR) 衡量标准，作为哈罗德·布鲁默群体威胁理论的一个关键方面的实施。黑人 ( n = 82)、亚洲人 ( n = 72) 和白人 ( n = 176) 参与者在旨在引发竞争威胁的住宅资源分配任务中完成了 PPR 项目。通过探索性和验证性因素分析，建立了PPR的四因素模型。对于黑人参与者来说，竞争威胁与反亚裔偏见直接相关。对于亚洲参与者来说，竞争威胁通过相信优点作为 PPR 的来源而与反黑人偏见间接相关。经过调节的平行调解模型还发现，基于过去的压迫和局外人地位的 PPR 信念是黑人和亚裔社区成员之间可能的盟友关系来源。研究结果具体讨论了黑人和亚洲人的关系，以及 PPR 对群体间关系的更广泛的贡献。
