The Effect of Historical Narratives and Flag Type

Share feedback about the accessibility of this item. Description This research will examine the effect of mainstream or marginalized historical narratives and the Confederate or American flag on temporal distancing, patriotism, perception of injustice, and assimilationist national identity. We expect that participants exposed to marginalized narratives will indicate higher perceived distance, especially when exposed to the Confederate flag. We expect that participants exposed to mainstream narratives will be highest on blind patriotism, especially when exposed to the American flag. We expect that participants in the American flag marginalized narrative condition would perceive the most racism and would reject more assimilationist conceptions of national identity. For the dependent measures of patriotism, perception of injustice, and national identity, we expect to find differences within the Confederate flag condition according to the meaning participants associate with the Confederate flag. These results will help us understand how people may respond to threatening narratives, how flag exposure may impact that response, and how historical narratives or flags can be presented to increase social justice awareness. • ANOVA indicates that there are no significant main effects or interactions. • Regression analysis indicates a marginally significant interaction between flag type and history type, β =-0.542, p = .052. Simple slopes reveal that for those participants exposed to marginalized narratives, perceiving the Confederate flag as symbolic of slavery and social hierarchy (i.e., high scores on Confederate flag measure) is negatively associated with temporal distancing (i.e., low temporal distancing scores and less perceived distance), (b =-3.37, p = .02). However, there was no relationship between Confederate flag meaning and temporal distancing for those exposed to mainstream narratives (b =-0.21, p = .77). • ANOVA indicates that there is a significant main effect of flag type on perception of injustice, with participants exposed to the Confederate flag (M = 4.59, SD = 0.86) perceiving significantly more injustice than participants exposed to the U. 2 = .04. There is no significant main effect of history type or a significant interaction. • Regression analysis indicates a marginally significant interaction between flag type and history type, β = 1.22, p = .08. Simple slopes reveal that perceiving the Confederate flag as symbolic of slavery and social hierarchy (i.e., high scores on CF measure) is positively associated with perceptions of present-day injustice. This is especially more evident amongst those exposed to marginalized narratives (b = 0.79, p = .001), compared to those exposed to …
