The Cambridge Handbook of Implicit Bias and Racism
The concept of implicit bias – the idea that the unconscious mind might hold and use negative evaluations of social groups that cannot be documented via explicit measures of prejudice – is a hot topic in the social and behavioral sciences. It has also become a part of popular culture, while interventions to reduce implicit bias have been introduced in police forces, educational settings, and workplaces. Yet researchers still have much to understa…
Moderators of the effects of perceived racism and discrimination on cancer-related health behaviors among two samples of African Americans
The influence of affective behavior on impression formation in interactions between black cancer patients and their oncologists
Discussing prognosis and treatment goals with patients with advanced cancer
BACKGROUND: The National Academy of Medicine recommends that cancer patients be knowledgeable of their prognosis to enable them to make informed treatment decisions, but research suggests few patients receive this information. OBJECTIVE: This qualitative study describes oncologists' language during discussions of prognosis and treatment goals in clinical interactions with African American patients diagnosed with cancer. DESIGN: We analysed transc…
Explaining between-race differences in African-American and European-American women's responses to breast density notification
The impact of Black cancer patients' race-related beliefs and attitudes on racially-discordant oncology interactions
An Analysis of Race-related Attitudes and Beliefs in Black Cancer Patients
This research concerned relationships among Black cancer patients' health care attitudes and behaviors (e.g., adherence, decisional control preferences,) and their race-related attitudes and beliefs shaped by (a) general life experiences (i.e., perceived discrimination, racial identity) and (b) experiences interacting with health care systems (i.e., physician mistrust, suspicion about medical care). Perceived discrimination, racial identity, and …
Influences of race and breast density on related cognitive and emotion outcomes before mandated breast density notification
Social Support, Social Networks, and Health
A disparity of words
BACKGROUND: African Americans are consistently underrepresented in cancer clinical trials. Minority under-enrolment may be, in part, due to differences in the way clinical trials are discussed in oncology visits with African American vs. White patients. OBJECTIVE: To investigate differences in oncologist-patient communication during offers to participate in clinical trials in oncology visits with African American and White patients. METHODS: From…
The Photo Essay
When it comes to issues related to low-income women seeking early, adequate, or continuous prenatal ca re, the public health and medical communities continue to tell women to take responsibility for their actions. Rarely are messages aimed at providers. To help physicians see how factors in their offices and clinics can affect service utilization, the photo essay, a visual qualitative research strategy was developed using low- income minority and…
Reducing Racial Health Care Disparities
Large health disparities persist between Black and White Americans. The social psychology of intergroup relations suggests some solutions to health care disparities due to racial bias. Three paths can lead from racial bias to poorer health among Black Americans. First is the already well-documented physical and psychological toll of being a target of persistent discrimination. Second, implicit bias can affect physicians’ perceptions and decisions…
Breast Cancer Incidence Rates Among Orthodox Jewish Women
Racial healthcare disparities
Around the world, members of racial/ethnic minority groups typically experience poorer health than members of racial/ethnic majority groups. The core premise of this article is that thoughts, feelings, and behaviors related to race and ethnicity play a critical role in healthcare disparities. Social psychological theories of the origins and consequences of these thoughts, feelings, and behaviors offer critical insights into the processes responsi…
Within-group health disparities among Blacks
Prior research on the impact of Afrocentric features on health has focused primarily on a single feature, skin color. We explored the effects of two other Afrocentric features (lip thickness, nose width) on Blacks' health status and whether unfair treatment mediates any relationship between these features and health. A secondary analysis of a prior study of Black patients' health was conducted. Patients with strong (high lip and high nose ratios)…
Racial attitudes, physician-patient talk time ratio, and adherence in racially discordant medical interactions
Life‐Threatening Disparities
Cancer mortality and survival rates are much poorer for Black patients than for White patients. We argue that Black–White treatment disparities are a major reason for these disparities. We examine three specific kinds of Black–White treatment disparities: disparities in information exchange in oncology interactions, disparities in the treatment of breast cancer, and disparities in the treatment of clinically localized prostate cancer. In the fina…
Aversive racism and medical interactions with Black patients
The Experience of Discrimination and Black-White Health Disparities in Medical Care
The current study of Black patients focuses on how discrimination contributes to racial disparities in health. The authors used a longitudinal methodology to study how perceived past discrimination affects reactions to medical interactions and adherence to physician recommendations. In addition, they explored whether these reactions and/or adherence mediate the relationship between discrimination and patients' health. The participants in this stu…
Patient-physician communication barriers regarding fertility preservation among newly diagnosed cancer patients
Disparities and distrust
Interpersonal Perspectives on Black–White Health Disparities
There are large and persistent disparities between the health status of Blacks and Whites in the United States. On average, the mental and physical health of Blacks is much poorer than Whites. In this article, we discuss several potential direct causes of Black–White disparities in health status, which include biological or genetic factors, prejudice and related processes, and socioeconomic factors. We also consider how the system‐level, patient‐…

Social Support and Life Stress
This essay is a critical review of the broad research literature on social support. The nature of support is explicated and findings from studies of diverse populations are considered for understanding the role of communication in the support process. Uncertainty reduction theory is discussed as an emergent theoretical foundation for explaining the sources/providers, function, and network structure of supportive communication. The paper includes …

Facilitating talk about new ideas
This research focuses on the relational and network conditions conducive to talk about new ideas. Although talk about new ideas does not guarantee implementation, it is a necessary and essential element in the overall innovation process. This paper includes two studies grounded in a perspective informed by politeness theory and the fundamental concern individuals have for the maintenance of personal face. The studies highlight the importance of r…
Relational and Content Differences Between Elites and Outsiders in Innovation Networks
This study investigated the nature of network communication patterns based on innovation. As expected from previous work on uncertainty and informal organizational elites, a central group of core, integrated members was apparent in each network structure from three organizational subunits in a school district. Earlier studies have shown that communication about new ideas tends to occur in strong, multiplex relationships rather than weak ties in o…
Integration in a communication network as a mediator of stress
Physical and emotional exhaustion caused by work-related stress has become a focus of the profession's concern. The study reported here explored the relationship between adequate support systems and job-linked tedium by attempting to determine whether office communication patterns affect anxiety and exhaustion among workers

The Role of Communication in Perceptions of Organizational Climate
Findings from the study showed that the nature of the communication system in the organization was an important factor in shaping perceptions of the climate of the organization. Support was found for hypotheses asserting that “key” communicators (active communicators who link large groups of people) identified more with their jobs, perceived themselves closer to management, were more satisfied with downward-directed messages, and perceived their …

Androgyny and Communication Strategies for Relational Dominance
The study investigated how individuals, regardless of sex, use deliberate strategies to gain positions of dominance in interpersonal relationships. The purpose of the research was to extend the concept of androgyny by examining whether dominance patterns in married couples' interactions differed according to role perceptions of the partners, rather than by biological sex differences alone. The conceptual framework for studying language behavior i…
