This meta-analysis summarizes the results of research on the relationships of majority group members’ endorsement of assimilation, colorblindness, multiculturalism, and the relative relationships of colorblindness and multiculturalism to ethnic prejudice. Random effects analyses found that assimilation was positively related to explicit prejudice (g. = 0.80), multiculturalism was negatively related to both explicit (g. = −0.26) and implicit prejudice (g. = −0.19), and colorblindness was negatively related to explicit prejudice (g. = −0.07). Multiculturalism was more closely associated with low prejudice than colorblindness (g. = 0.15). Effect sizes varied as a function of methodology (experimental vs. correlational), country in which research was conducted (United States vs. other countries), and, in experimental studies of multiculturalism, type of prime used (abstract vs. concrete). Discussion points include methodological issues, groups used as targets of prejudice, national diversity norms, additional issues raised in the studies reviewed, and directions for future research.

这项荟萃分析总结了大多数群体成员对同化，色盲，多元文化主义的认可以及色盲和多元文化主义与种族偏见的相对关系的研究结果。随机效应的分析发现，同化呈正相关的显式偏见（克。= 0.80），多元呈负显性相关（克。= -0.26）和隐式偏见（克。= -0.19），以及色盲呈负相关明显的偏见（g。= -0.07）。多元文化主义与低偏见比色盲更紧密相关（g。= 0.15）。效应大小随方法论（实验性与相关性），进行研究的国家（美国与其他国家）以及在多元文化主义的实验研究中所使用的主要类型（抽象与具体）的函数而变化。讨论重点包括方法论问题，用作偏见目标的人群，国家多样性规范，所审查研究中提出的其他问题以及未来研究的方向。
