Racial Identity, Reparations, and Modern Views of Justice Concerning Slavery

This dataset has been cut from a larger dataset collected in March 2019. The wider data collection sought to understand the relationship between Confederate symbols and race relations in the United States. Using a survey-based experiment, the project explored if the Confederate Flag, the American Flag, or the surrender flag (as opposed to no flag) had differing effects on emotions and racial attitudes, such as traditional racism, resentment, and racial policy attitudes, to name a few. This particular dataset only shares data from the relationships being explored in our published manuscript in Public Opinion Quarterly. Specifically, we address the question: how do racial identity, pride in one’s racial group, and views of undeservingness of Black Americans affect support for symbolic reparations? The experimental manipulation had no effect on these relationships.

本数据集源于2019年3月收集的更大规模数据集。该广泛的数据收集旨在探究美国南方联盟象征与美国种族关系之间的关联。通过基于调查的实验，本项目探讨了南方联盟旗帜、美国国旗或投降旗帜（与无旗帜相比）在情感和种族态度方面，如传统种族主义、怨恨以及种族政策态度等，是否产生不同的影响。本特定数据集仅共享我们在《公众舆论季刊》发表的论文中探讨的关系数据。具体而言，我们针对的问题是：种族认同、对自己种族群体的自豪感以及对黑人美国人不应得的看法如何影响对象征性赔偿的支持？实验操作对这些关系没有产生显著影响。
