The current work examined the causes and consequences of non - Black people’s desire to avoid interracial interactions (an avoidance - focus). Expecting to respond with racial bias in inter - racial interactions was argued to result in an avoidance - focus for such interactions, which was hypothesized to have negative implications for the quality of interracial interactions. Across three studies, feedback indicating that non - Black participants would respond with racial bias in interactions with Black people resulted in anxiety and the desire to avoid the interaction. In addition, when participants with an avoidance - focus interacted with a Black confederate (Study 2), they had shorter interactions that were rated as less pleasant by the confederate and participant as compared to those without an avoidance - focus. Avoidance - focused participants were less interested in future interactions and came across as more avoidant and biased to their partner than less avoidance - focused participants. The findings are discussed in terms of their implications for racial relations.
