Abstract
Color-blind attitude indicates a lack of awareness of differences in societal experience because of ethnicity, impeding successful interaction between various ethnic groups. The racial awareness of a sample of undergraduate psychology students (N = 125) was determined using the Color-Blind Racial Awareness Scale. A racially charged vignette was administered to examine the effects of priming on participants’ belief in a just world, as assessed by the Just World Scale. The effects of ethnicity and racial awareness were also examined. There was a significant effect of vignette (p < .01) on participants’ belief in a just world. A significant effect of level of racial awareness (p < .01) was also found. The findings have positive implications for customized diversity training.
