Health providers' implicit racial bias negatively affects communication and patient reactions to many medical interactions. However, its effects on racially discordant oncology interactions are largely unknown. Thus, we examined whether oncologist has similar in We further investigated patients' perceptions of recommended treatments (i.e., degree confidence, expected difficulty). predicted would affect communication, interactions, and, indirectly, treatments.Participants were 18 non-black...
Physician racial bias can negatively affect Black patients' reactions to racially discordant medical interactions, suggesting that is manifested in physicians' communication with their patients. However, little known about how physician actually influences during these interactions. This study investigated non-Black related word use interactions One hundred and seventeen video-recorded from a larger were transcribed analyzed using Linguistic Inquiry Word Count (LIWC) software. Physicians...
What is the role of ecology in automatic cognitive processes and social behavior? Our motivated-preparation account posits that priming a category readies individual for adaptive behavioral responses to category—responses take into physical environment. We present first evidence showing (Study 1) (Studies 2a 2b) automatically elicited by social-category prime differ depending on person’s surroundings. Specifically, after with pictures Black men (a threatening out-group), participants...
The association between physicians’ and patients’ racial attitudes poorer patient–physician communication in racially discordant medical interactions is well-documented. However, it unclear how independently jointly affect their behaviors during these interactions. In a secondary analysis of video-recorded non-Black physicians Black patients, we examined explicit implicit bias perceived past discrimination influenced own as well one another’s level engagement. Affect engagement were assessed...
In two studies, Whites' endorsement of system-justifying beliefs predicted increased negativity toward Blacks who blamed negative events on discrimination. were not associated with other internal causes, external or nondiscriminatory unfairness. These reactions discrimination claimants mediated by perceptions that the claimant held dissimilar values and failed to take personal responsibility for outcomes. both participants' White Identification did moderate relationship between Black...
What makes people's interest in doing an activity increase or decrease? Regulatory fit theory (E. T. Higgins, 2000) provides a new perspective on this classic issue by emphasizing the relation between orientation, such as thinking of fun, and manner engagement that surrounding situation supports. These situational factors include whether reward for good performance, expected (Study 1) unexpected 2), is experienced enjoyable serious free-choice period measures 3). Studies 1-3 found...
This research concerned relationships among Black cancer patients' health care attitudes and behaviors (e.g., adherence, decisional control preferences,) their race-related beliefs shaped by (a) general life experiences (i.e., perceived discrimination, racial identity) (b) interacting with systems physician mistrust, suspicion about medical care). Perceived identity, correlated weakly one another; mistrust only moderately. Race-related were associated behavior, but patterns of association...
In this article, we address the limitations of existing implicit bias interventions as a strategy for achieving maternal health equity. We then focus on how institutionally sanctioned racial stereotyping harms Black and marginalizes key group in fight equity—Black physicians. Finally, provide strategies to perinatal care structural barriers impeding physicians' success.
Introduction Although many efforts have been made to reduce racial pain disparities over decades, the of black patients is still undertreated. Previous work has identified a host patient and provider factors that contribute in healthcare general, consequently, may care particular. That said, there limited clinically meaningful progress eliminating these disparities. This lack likely because prior research investigated influence isolation, rather than examining their interaction. Successful...
Racial discrimination is a stressor that may put African Americans at risk for alcohol use and related problems. We examined whether experiences of blatant (racist events) subtle (racial microaggressions) forms racial were associated with consumption problems among American young adults, childhood/adolescence socialization by parents friends moderated these associations.
Prior research provides evidence of implicit and explicit anti-Black prejudice among US physicians. However, we know little about whether racialized varies physicians non-physician healthcare workers relative to the general population.Using ordinary least squares models data from Harvard's Project Implicit (2007-2019), assessed associations between self-reported occupational status (physician, worker) (N = 1,500,268) 1,429,677) toward Black, Arab-Muslim, Asian, Native American populations,...
Although people with cancer want and need information from their oncologists, patients oncologists often disagree about what was discussed during clinical interactions. Most have companions present oncology visits; we investigated whether process more accurately than patients. Specifically, examined differed in agreement discussed. We also the effect of topic on patient/companion self-reported understanding discussions.Patients were invited to participate first visits a center Detroit, MI....
Many healthcare disparities studies use the Implicit Association Test (IAT) to assess bias. Despite ongoing controversy around IAT, its has enabled researchers reliably document an association between provider implicit prejudice and provider-to-patient communication (provider behaviors patient reactions them). Success in documenting such associations is likely due outcomes studied, study settings, data structure unique racial/ethnic research. In contrast, there been little evidence...
