Rejection sensitivity measured before college predicts later perceived racial events

Evidence

A related measure, the Race Rejection Sensitivity Questionnaire, assesses a tendency to anxiously expect, readily perceive, and intensely react to rejection based on race (Mendoza-Denton et al., 2002). Scores on the Race Rejection Sensitivity Questionnaire among African American students prior to entering college prospectively predicted the extent to which they reported experiencing negative racerelated events during their first three weeks of college, as well as the extent to which they felt negatively toward their peers and professors (Mendoza- Denton et al., 2002). — , Rudman, Laurie A - On the Nature of…, 949
