Abstract in brief

  • The study uses traffic camera feeds and a field experiment to observe how pedestrians in New York City interact with racial outgroup members, focusing on their physical distance.
  • Researchers analyzed 3,552 pedestrians across two neighborhoods, measuring how close or far they stayed from people of different races to gauge racial avoidance.
  • Results show that on average, pedestrians, mostly non-Black, maintained a larger distance from Black confederates compared to white non-Hispanic confederates, indicating racial avoidance behavior.]
