Second, in addition to examining voting preferences, we measured attitudes toward racial minorities as a possible mechanism underlying the effect of negational identity on voting preferences. We predicted that Latinos who thought about their negational identity would express more positive feelings towards other minority groups in general and this greater warmth may 1 In both experiments, the v2 analysis contrasted Obama versus Hilary and uncommitted. — Chen-Bo Zhong, Adam D.
