OBJECTIVES Suspect motives, conceptualized as beliefs that Whites' interracial motives are primarily driven by desires to avoid appearing prejudiced have been found to shape a number of intergroup outcomes for People of Color (POC). However, it is unclear what factors lead individuals to become suspicious of Whites' motives. Two correlational studies tested whether childhood racial socialization experiences relate to suspect motives. METHODS 223 Black participants (94.2% female; M age = 42.01, SD age = 16.62) recalled childhood racial socialization experiences and completed the Suspicion of Motives Index (SOMI; Study 1). 226 Black parents (80.8% female; M age = 37.39, SD age = 9.17) reported racial socialization strategies and goals for their children to be cognizant of Whites' potentially suspect motives (Study 2). RESULTS Driven by cultural socialization, racial socialization was significantly related to suspicion (Study 1). Racial socialization predicted parental desires that children recognize Whites' suspect motives and a combined measure of cultural socialization and preparation for bias was most strongly related to parental hopes (Study 2). CONCLUSIONS These studies link racial socialization and suspicion of Whites' motives. These results suggest that among POC, racial socialization may shape beliefs about Whites' interracial motives.

美国黑人的种族社会化经历和对白人跨种族动机的信念。

目标 怀疑动机，被概念化为白人的异族动机主要是由避免出现偏见的愿望所驱动的信念，已被发现塑造了有色人种 (POC) 的许多群体间结果。然而，尚不清楚是什么因素导致个人对白人的动机产生怀疑。两项相关研究测试了童年种族社会化经历是否与可疑动机有关。方法 223 名黑人参与者（94.2% 女性；M 年龄 = 42.01，SD 年龄 = 16.62）回忆童年的种族社会化经历并完成了动机怀疑指数（SOMI；研究 1）。226 位黑人父母（80.8% 为女性；M 年龄 = 37.39，SD 年龄 = 9.17）报告了让他们的孩子认识到白人潜在可疑动机的种族社会化策略和目标（研究 2）。结果 在文化社会化的驱动下，种族社会化与怀疑显着相关（研究 1）。种族社会化预测了父母的愿望，即孩子们认识到白人的可疑动机，文化社会化和偏见准备的综合措施与父母的希望密切相关（研究 2）。结论 这些研究将种族社会化和对白人动机的怀疑联系起来。这些结果表明，在 POC 中，种族社会化可能会影响对白人跨种族动机的信念。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2021 APA，保留所有权利）。可疑的动机以及文化社会化和偏见准备的综合措施与父母的希望密切相关（研究 2）。结论 这些研究将种族社会化和对白人动机的怀疑联系起来。这些结果表明，在 POC 中，种族社会化可能会影响对白人跨种族动机的信念。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2021 APA，保留所有权利）。可疑的动机以及文化社会化和偏见准备的综合措施与父母的希望密切相关（研究 2）。结论 这些研究将种族社会化和对白人动机的怀疑联系起来。这些结果表明，在 POC 中，种族社会化可能会影响对白人跨种族动机的信念。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2021 APA，保留所有权利）。
