Double Jeopardy: Neighborhood Racial Profiling and the Consequences of Speaking Up

How are social media users from diverse backgrounds, neighborhoods, and communities interacting about issues of race? Psychologist Jennifer Eberhardt and computer scientist Dan Jurafsky will examine the nature of online interactions about race on the neighborhood-based social networking platform Nextdoor, specifically around the issues of crime and safety, the treatment of African Americans who post about experiences of discrimination, and the impact of these posts on readers. They will conduct six studies using a combination of randomized control trials, qualitative analyses, and quantitative analyses for their study.
