OBJECTIVES The present studies examined two dimensions of racial ingroup identification, using them as predictors of Black and White Americans' attitudes toward paying college athletes. Following Leach et al. (2008), the present work distinguished between ingroup self-investment and ingroup self-definition. The central prediction was that respondent race and self-investment would interact in predicting compensation support. METHOD In three studies (N = 352, N = 476, & N = 562), U.S. residents who were 18 or older and either Black or White completed an online survey in which they completed a self-report measure of racial identification, as well as reporting their opinion of paying college athletes. RESULTS The results supported the prediction, demonstrating that Black respondents' support was higher than that for Whites, but this was especially the case at high levels of self-investment. The third study suggests that these effects were driven by respondents who believed that Black athletes made up a larger percentage of the pool of likely beneficiaries of compensation. Ingroup self-definition played no role as a moderator. CONCLUSIONS Broadly speaking, it may be that, for policies whose likely beneficiaries are disproportionately Black, stronger racial self-investment serves to widen racial divides in support.

游戏中的皮肤：种族、群体认同和对支付大学运动员的态度。

目标 本研究检验了种族内群体认同的两个维度，将它们用作美国黑人和白人对支付大学运动员的态度的预测指标。继 Leach 等人之后。（2008），目前的工作区分了群体内自我投资和群体内自我定义。中心预测是受访者种族和自我投资将在预测薪酬支持方面相互作用。方法 在三项研究（N = 352、N = 476 和 N = 562）中，年满 18 岁的美国黑人或白人居民完成了一项在线调查，其中他们完成了种族认同的自我报告测量，以及作为报告他们支付大学运动员的意见。结果结果支持预测，表明黑人受访者的支持率高于白人，但在自我投资水平高的情况下尤其如此。第三项研究表明，这些影响是由受访者推动的，他们认为黑人运动员在可能的补偿受益人中所占比例更大。群内自我定义没有起到调节作用。结论 从广义上讲，对于可能受益人不成比例的黑人的政策，更强的种族自我投资可能会扩大支持方面的种族分歧。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2023 APA，保留所有权利）。结论 从广义上讲，对于可能受益人不成比例的黑人的政策，更强的种族自我投资可能会扩大支持方面的种族分歧。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2023 APA，保留所有权利）。结论 从广义上讲，对于可能受益人不成比例的黑人的政策，更强的种族自我投资可能会扩大支持方面的种族分歧。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2023 APA，保留所有权利）。
