Through in-depth, semistructured interviews with former White supremacists (N = 9), the authors explored how and why former White supremacists left their hate groups, and why some chose to then speak out against their former racist ideologies. Using interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA; Smith et al., 2009), the authors identified nine themes related to the process of leaving one's hate group and becoming an antihate activist. Participants initially left their hate groups because of both painful and encouraging interactions with members of marginalized communities, which led to the disintegration of their White supremacist ideological convictions. Upon exiting, participants navigated threats to their safety, experienced shifts in their social networks, encountered new emotional states, and healed through introspection and connection with others. Finally, participants connected with former White supremacists who had become antihate activists, spoke out publicly against hate, and developed antihate activist identities. The authors offer directions for future research, as well as provide implications for clinical interventions supporting hate group members through their exit processes.

走出仇恨：关于白人至上主义者如何以及为何退出仇恨团体的定性调查。

通过对前白人至上主义者（N = 9）的深入、半结构化采访，作者探讨了前白人至上主义者如何以及为何离开他们的仇恨团体，以及为什么有些人选择公开反对他们以前的种族主义意识形态。使用解释性现象学分析（IPA；Smith 等人，2009 年），作者确定了与离开仇恨团体并成为反仇恨活动家的过程相关的九个主题。参与者最初离开他们的仇恨团体是因为与边缘化社区成员的痛苦和令人鼓舞的互动，这导致了他们的白人至上主义意识形态信念的瓦解。退出后，参与者克服了对其安全的威胁，经历了社交网络的变化，遇到了新的情绪状态，并通过内省和与他人的联系得到治愈。最后，参与者与成为反仇恨活动家的前白人至上主义者建立联系，公开反对仇恨，并发展出反仇恨活动家的身份。作者为未来的研究提供了方向，并为通过退出过程支持仇恨团体成员的临床干预提供了启示。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2022 APA，保留所有权利）。
