Comparisons, Justice, and the Internment of Japanese-Americans
Comparisons are the stuff of social life. Everybody knows this intuitively, and since the days of Leon Festinger (1954), social psychologists have developed a formal knowledge of the operation of social comparisons in human interactions. Following Festinger’s lead, the social comparison researchers investigated how comparisons with other people influence a person’s attitudes and opinions, including the assessment of their own abilities (Goethals,…

Social Comparison Theory
Over the last 60 years, research on social comparison theory and relative deprivation theory has been complementary. We present a brief overview of relevant theory and research and hint at future directions.
Attitudes Toward Affirmative Action as a Function of the Strength of Ethnic Identity Among Latino College Students 1
The present study examined support for affirmative action among Latino college students as a function of ethnic identity. We found that, overall, Latino students generally endorsed affirmative action and did not feel undermined by it. Of primary interest to us was variation in support for affirmative action as a function of ethnic identity. The more the Latino students identified with their ethnic group, the more they endorsed affirmative action
VI. Problematizing Problems
Institutional Affiliation and Satisfaction Among Feminist Professors; Is There an Advantage to Women's Colleges
Do feminist professors of psychology who teach at women's colleges derive more satisfaction from their academic lives than feminist professors who teach at coed colleges or at (coed) universities? If one assumes that gynocentric environments are more pleasing to feminists, the answer should be “yes.” Using questionnaire and interview data from 76 self-identified feminist psychology professors, we tested the expectation that feminist women teachin…
Attitudes Toward Affirmative Action as a Function of Racial Identity Among African American College Students
Variations in support for affirmative action were assessed in a sample of 181 African American college students in Massachusetts. These students generally endorsed affirmative action, and endorsement varied positively as a function of the belief that one had personally benefited from affirmative action. Aspects of racial identity, indexed by the Multidimensional Inventory of Black Identity, also predicted variations in attitudes toward affirmativ…
Feminism as Life Raft
We looked at relationships between academic women's feminist identity and their perceptions of discrimination. From a sample of self-labeled feminist professors of psychology who had participated in the Feminist Teaching Project, we examined previously transcribed interviews and also collected new, auxiliary information. We expected to find that our respondents would view feminism as both provoking discrimination and helping them cope with discri…
Men's attitudes toward affirmative action: Justice and intergroup relations at the crossroads
Affirmative Action and the Issue of Expectancies
The goal of affirmative action policies, the elimination of racial and sexual inequality, generates at least public agreement among most Americans, but affirmative action methods remain controversial, even among their intended beneficiaries. Affirmative action programs are criticized for reinforcing rather than dissolving racial and sexual barriers, and for making social categories salient. Further, if affirmative action programs appear to involv…

Male Sympathy with the Situation of Women: Does Personal Experience Make a Difference
Opinions and feelings about the situation of working women were assessed among a sample of men in high‐prestige and low‐prestige occupations interviewed in 1979 and 1980. The men varied considerably in how much sympathy they felt with working women. Men in high‐prestige occupations were reliably more aware of and upset about the true extent of sex discrimination than were men in low‐prestige occupations. Men's attitudes were not connected to the …
Postscript: The Nature of Connections
What commonalities appear among the richly diverse set of articles we present? What conclusions about the interface between personal life and social issues can be drawn from the theories and research findings contained in this issue? Some of the authors represented here (e.g., Elms; Stewart & Healy) have presented evidence for a social‐personal link, while others (e.g., Crosby & Herek; Tyler & McGraw) have demonstrated a discontinuity between the…
Introduction: The Search for Connections
Connections between the facts of people's personal circumstances and their judgments about social and political issues are often murky or invisible. This seems counterintuitive. The nature of social issues is such that most people in a particular society possess some information about them and, if pressed, will be able to offer an opinion concerning them; it would seem reasonable to assume that these opinions reflect the individual's personal cir…
Relative Deprivation and Equity Theories
The Denial of Personal Discrimination
Working women in one survey knew well that women workers do not generally receive the rewards they deserve. But in most cases, the women appeared to imagine-quite erroneously-that they personally avoided sex discrimination. Ways to surmount the barriers are discussed
Work Satisfaction as a Function of Gender and Job Status
Male lawyers, female lawyers, and female legal secretaries were interviewed concerning their work satisfaction, the nature of their employment-related gratifications and deprivations, and their work values. The data showed that the three samples' responses concerning work-related gratifications, deprivations, and values were largely similar. When they differed, the splits tended to be along the lines of job status (lawyer vs. secretary) rather th…

Relative Deprivation Revisited: A Response to Miller, Bolce, and Halligan
This article challenges some of the conclusions drawn in “The J-Curve Theory and the Black Urban Riots,” by Abraham Miller, Louis Bolce and Mark Halligan (1977). Miller et al. reject relative deprivation theory and J-curve theory as valid explanations of black urban rioting. In my argument that Miller et al. are not justified in rejecting relative deprivation theory, I shall review four versions of relative deprivation theory to show how Miller e…
The female register: An empirical study of Lakoff's hypotheses
Sociolinguists (e.g. Swacker 1975) and anthropologists (e.g. Hall 1959) are increasingly aware of the fact that sex, like social class or subcultural group, is a variable which strongly affects speech (Thorne & Henley 1975). While sexexclusive differentiation (i.e. separate male and female languages) now appears to be an almost nonexistent phenomenon, sex-preferred differentiation seems to be widespread across a number of languages and language f…
