Abstract “Hate crimes” are thought to result in greater psychological and emotional harm to the victim and to other members of the targeted group than to others. Students, 46 African Americans and 52 Whites, viewed a one-minute videotaped news report about a murder, described as a hate crime or an “ordinary” murder. As predicted, those who saw the hate crime video exhibited greater state anger. African Americans showed more anger after viewing the hate crime video than the other video. Whites showed similar anger after viewing the two video types. Predicted state self-esteem effects did not occur. Predicted racial identity relations were not significant.
