Knowles and colleagues’ 3D model (2014) describes the strategies White people use to manage the identity threat posed by their privilege: deny and distance from their privilege or dismantle the systems that maintain their privilege. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether alternative explanations of privilege would be more likely to trigger dismantling responses in White participants (e.g., more support for affirmative action, lower colorblindness) and whether the individual characteristics of right-wing authoritarianism (RWA) and universal diverse orientation (UDO) would moderate participants’ responses. We randomly assigned (n = 447) White undergraduate college students to read a brochure that described systemic racism using either the construct of White privilege or ingroup bias. Contrary to our hypotheses, we found a main effect with participants reporting lower colorblindness, lower modern racism attitudes, and more support for affirmative action after reading the White privilege brochure. We did not observe any significant moderation effects. Rationale for the study and interpretation of the results is considered in the context of Knowles and colleagues’ 3D model of White identity management (2014).
