- 요약The rise of social media has drastically increased our access to information about others' attitudes, preferences, and behaviors. Social media has become a platform for users to learn about and discuss race-related topics, which are often avoided in daily interactions. Critically, observers on social media can access a broad range of views on race, without actively participating in conversations themselves. What impact does exposure to social media discussions of race have on users' own race-related perceptions and attitudes? Across nine studies, I demonstrate that individuals' perceptions of racism are subject to social influence. Part 1 examines whether social media users' perceptions of a specific instance of discrimination shift based on another user's denial or validation of the experience. Not only do participants perceive less racism after viewing denial compared to validation, but this also shifts their attitudes toward the target of discrimination, discussions of discrimination more broadly, and their own commenting behavior. These effects are present despite participants perceiving denial as an unsupportive response. Part 2 examines how individuals perceive their friends' potentially racist behaviors online relative to strangers. Friends' endorsements (i.e. "likes") of potentially racist content are perceived as less racist than strangers', despite participants recognizing their perceptions are unaligned with norms. Studies 7-8 explore varying effects on perceptions of racism by political ideology and by question phrasing. Finally, Study 8 shows that friends' influence on perceptions of racism have downstream consequences -- influencing the subsequent content moderation choices that participants make. Taken together, this research highlights the impact of observing race-related interactions on social media, and the potential for social influence in this context. Although observers may seem passive, the content they view shapes their perceptions and behavior, and this influence extends to broader outcomes.
