Abstrakt: Research has suggested the race of models in advertisements impacts audience attitudes toward these messages, but how does viewers’ race affect attitudes toward advertisements featuring models of the same or a different race? The authors explore the existence of racial identity and color-blind racism across racial groups and examine these constructs as they relate to attitudes toward advertisements and ad models’ race. Although the authors found that racial identity and color-bind racism were present across audiences, they did not find significant relationships between race and attitudes toward ads. They did, however, find color-blind racism was significantly related to non-White audiences’ opinions of ads featuring Black models. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
