Treatment
As of May 21, 2020, there have been more than 1.5 million cases of coronavirus (COVID-19) in the United States. Over 93,000 Americans have died as a result of the coronavirus (COVID-19), but some places have been hit harder than others, with Blacks/African Americans having disproportionate death rates. In New York, which has the country's highest numbers of confirmed cases and deaths, over 22,000 people have died, but Blacks/African Americans are three times as likely to die as Whites. In Michigan, over 5,000 people have died from the virus, but Blacks/African Americans are five times as likely as Whites to die from the virus. In Louisiana, where 2,485 people have died from the virus, Blacks/African Americans account for 60% of the coronavirus deaths, while they are only 33% of the population. Finally, in Illinois, 4,525 people have died from the coronavirus. Blacks/African Americans account for 42% of the coronavirus deaths in Illinois, although they are only 15% of the population. Collectively, Blacks/African Americans represent 12.9% of the population nationwide but have suffered 25.1% of deaths.
Racially prejudiced Whites exposed to the treatment were less likely to think that it was "extremely" or "very" important to wear a face mask, compared to racially prejudiced Whites in the control condition (32 percent vs 60 percent) p<0.05.
Racially prejudiced Whites exposed to the treatment were more likely to agree that shelter-in-place-orders were a threat to their individual rights and freedoms, relative to the control condition (46 percent vs. 30 percent) p < 0.10
Racially prejudiced Whites exposed to the treatment were more likely to support outdoor recreational activities without any restrictions, relative to the control condition (32 percent vs. 14 percent) p<0.05
Racially prejudiced Whites exposed tot the treatment were more likely to perceive Black people as not following social distancing guidelines, relative to the control condition (71 percent vs. 45 percent) p < 0.05
