Abstract
This is a theoretical study that analyzes previous research regarding interracial interactions and the subsequent executive function impairment that occurs as a result. Utilizing 13 studies, a meta-analysis is conducted that examines the differences in anxiety levels and cognitive impairment that results from an interracial interaction when racially charged topics are used as a discussion point, and when they are absent from the interaction altogether. Based on the comparison of interactions that utilize racially charged topics, compared to interactions that omit them, a conclusion can be drawn that indicates that regardless of topic, individuals experience notable anxiety and executive function impairment after an interracial interaction. However, results from these studies also indicate that certain contextual conditions can lessen the impairment of interracial interactions through decreasing the need to self-regulate, via social roles and interactions moderated by mutual benefit.
