Over the years, race-related incidents involving Greek letter organizations (GLOs), especially fraternities, continue to arise despite the ensuing controversy and negative media attention that inevitably follow such incidents. The present study examines whether there is an association between GLO membership and negative ethnoracial attitudes given a range of relevant psychological, sociological, and political theories about ethnoracial attitudes. Building on insights from microclass research on attitudinal structuring and drawing on the National Longitudinal Study of Freshmen (N = 2,817), results of linear regression models indicate that GLO membership is associated with heightened negative ethnoracial attitudes, particularly among white male students. Moreover, a measure of ethnoracial group affiliation partially mediates this effect. This latter finding suggests that among the various ethnoracial attitude theories, group position theory may be better formulated to explain an association between GLO membership and negative ethnoracial attitudes, given its consideration of both ingroup boundary formation and organizations. The results also support microclass processes and suggest future research to more clearly account for pre-occupational structuring that later feeds into occupational processes.

美国大学生的兄弟会成员身份和消极的种族态度

多年来,涉及希腊字母组织 (GLO),尤其是兄弟会的种族相关事件继续出现,尽管此类事件不可避免地引发了争议和媒体的负面关注。鉴于有关民族种族态度的一系列相关心理学、社会学和政治理论,本研究检验了 GLO 成员资格与负面民族种族态度之间是否存在关联。基于对态度结构的微课堂研究的见解,并借鉴全国新生纵向研究(N = 2,817),线性回归模型的结果表明,GLO 成员资格与消极的民族种族态度有关,特别是在白人男学生中。此外,种族群体归属的测量部分地介导了这种影响。后一项发现表明,在各种民族态度理论中,考虑到内部群体边界的形成和组织,群体位置理论可能更好地解释 GLO 成员身份与负面民族态度之间的关联。结果还支持微课程过程,并建议未来的研究更清楚地解释后来进入职业过程的职业前结构。
