Book excerpt: Doctoral Thesis / Dissertation from the year 2011 in the subject Psychology - Miscellaneous, Saint Louis University, course: Time Orientation, language: English, abstract: Many psychologists agree that race is a socially created construct, used to categorize individuals into groups for social, political, and economical purposes. Despite its definitional ambiguity, race has a number of behavioral, affective, and cognitive implications within contemporary American society. This study seeks to provide evidence for the idea that the way that Black Americans view their racial group membership (racial ideology), is associated with how they view and organize time (time orientation).

Furthermore, this study seeks to investigate the degree to which relationships between racial ideology and time orientation might be modified by self-construal.
