Summary
Today we live in a world that undeniably diverse, especially in the United States of America. We strive to have a peaceful coexistence of diverse ethnic groups, as we embrace our similarities yet still hold our differences close. Historically, the United States has had to deal with many issues of racism and ethnic diversity, as immigrance has taken place which has been chosen or forced for many people. Now, we currently hold a heightened awareness of diversity, and start a discussion of how to approach ethnic diversity. Many feel that we should hold a “colorblind” view, where all should be seen as equal, regardless of race, color, sex, or creed, while others feel that we should approach things with a more “multicultural” view point in which we embrace our differences. Our views on diversity also may be influenced by our levels of self monitoring, the degree to which we watch out our own internal actions. This study hopes to explore the correlation between self monitoring and feelings towards diversity in terms of both colorblindness and multiculturalism.

- There are two ways of holding prejudice, the internal and external way.
- Self monitoring plays a large part in our explicitly stated attitudes, as self monitoring can guide our behavior and keep it consistent with social constructs.
- The first few tasks are black and white, but there are other combinations of these tasks using black and pleasant worlds or white as pleasant words.
- Participants were primed and then administered the race IAT scale.
- Though there were no significant findings to support our hypothesis, significant findings did verify the use of the IAT.
