Cross-race rejection was associated with significantly lower total peripheral resistance than same-race rejection during both a speech task (F(1,84)=6.26, p=.014, d=0.55) and a discussion task (F(1,84)=8.19, p=.005, d=0.63), indicating an approach/challenge-like cardiovascular pattern rather than a withdrawal/threat pattern.
Notes on verification
Traces to Jamieson, Koslov, Nock & Mendes (2013) in Psychological Science; qualitative findings corroborated by APS, ScienceDaily, and EurekAlert summaries, but exact statistical values (F, p, d) could not be independently verified outside the original paper.
