“They Are the Shoulders I Stand On”
The present research examines how the conceptualization of the self as part of one’s ancestry may enhance people of color’s activism. Two correlational studies ( N s = 593 and 160) showed that greater ancestral self-concept was associated with greater past engagement in prejudice confrontation (Study 1a) and racial equality activism (Study 1b). Follow-up experiments with Asian (Study 2; N = 220) and Black (Studies 3–4; Ns = 310 and 511) Americans…
Marginalized and Advantaged Parents’ Perceptions of Identity-Safety Cues in K-12 Classrooms
Across four studies ( N = 1,427), we examined the impact of identity-safety cues (Black Lives Matter or Pride posters) on marginalized (Black, LGBTQ+) and advantaged (White, cisgender-heterosexual) parents’ evaluations of elementary classrooms. Black (Study 1) and LGBTQ+ parents (Studies 2 and 3a) perceived identity-relevant safety cues as more appropriate and as prompting more positive education-related outcomes (child belonging, classroom inter…
When Policies Remove Identity Safety
In a world of educational inequality, diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives aim to boost the participation and success of marginalized students and act as identity safety cues on campus. A recent torrent of anti‐DEI legislative initiatives threatens this safety. Across three experimental studies, the current work examines the consequences of threat introduced via anti‐DEI policies in higher education and potential university response…
Effects of Inclusion and Exclusion From U.S. Psychology Department Diversity Statements Among Undergraduate Students of Color and Fat Students
Although many organizations, including university psychology departments, have expanded diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts, these initiatives often center a limited set of marginalized identities, leaving others underrepresented and potentially undermining identity safety. We analyzed diversity statements from 100 U.S. psychology departments (Study 1) and found that race/ethnicity, gender/sex, and sexual orientation were most frequent…
“I know what's best for my child”
Diversity education in the K‐12 years is a contentious issue in the contemporary US context. Given evidence that parental identity influences beliefs about and support for diversity education, we qualitatively explored cisgender‐heterosexual and LGBTQ+ parents’ ( N = 609) beliefs about the appropriateness of inclusive educational policies in K‐12 classrooms. We collected qualitative data on parental perceptions of inclusive signals in classrooms …
“They are fat and want special treatment for being fat”
Fat activism is a movement that seeks to acknowledge and eliminate the oppression of fat people. The movement and those who participate face significant backlash, yet fat activism is understudied. We sought to understand lay theories about fat activism; that is, how everyday people think about the goals and motivations of fat activism, and people who engage in fat activism, to understand how these perceptions shape support for and backlash toward…
Mapping Borderland Identity Experiences
Borderland identities transcend conventional conceptualizations of their identity category and challenge prevalent social theories underlying a given identity domain. The experiences of people with borderland identities differ from the experiences of people with conventional dominant or marginalized identities. Since Anzaldúa advanced her original 1980s theory of borderland identities focusing on the Chicano experience in the U.S., humanities and…
Organizational norms and gender identity contexts shape when pronoun-sharing is perceived as disingenuous allyship
Mostly White, heterosexual couples
a major subfield of social-personality psychology, illustrating both the unique diversity-relevant challenges faced by particular subfields and the barriers to inclusive and diverse research that are shared across research areas. Specifically, we examine the sample diversity and reporting practices of 1,762 studies published in eight mainstream psychology and relationships journals at two time points-(a) 1996-2000 and (b) 2016-2020-and center our…
It’s just a phase”
Bisexual individuals suffer poorer well-being than their gay and lesbian peers. The current work highlights the identity denial experiences of people who identify as gay, lesbian, and bisexual through self-reports and quantitative measures. Study 1 (N = 130) asked participants about unsupportive experiences during sexual identity disclosure and found that experiences of identity denial were more frequently reported by bisexual individuals compare…
Strategic Self-Presentation of Women in STEM
Despite a plethora of initiatives and a surge of research activity, women remain under-represented in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines (National Science Foundation 2017). While much research has focused on ways to recruit women into these disciplines, less work has explored the strategies women use to navigate these contexts once they have entered. In a set of two experimental studies, we investigate women's po…
