Fraternity Membership and Negative Racial Attitudes among U.S. College Students
Over the years, race‐related incidents involving Greek letter organizations (GLOs), especially fraternities, continue to arise despite the ensuing controversy and negative media attention that inevitably follow such incidents. The present study examines whether there is an association between GLO membership and negative ethnoracial attitudes given a range of relevant psychological, sociological, and political theories about ethnoracial attitudes.…
Ethnically heterogeneous friendships and symptoms of depression and anxiety among Filipino Americans
Ethnically heterogeneous friendships may be characterized by interactional discord and other challenges, but the potential risks for minority status groups, namely, Filipino Americans, have been overlooked. The present study examined whether ethnically heterogeneous friendships are associated with depressive and anxiety symptoms and whether friendship discord mediates these relationships after adjusting for covariates. Analyses focused on data fr…
Immigration concern and the white/non-white difference in smoking: Group position theory and health
National data indicate that U.S. whites have a higher prevalence of smoking compared to non-whites. Group position theory and public opinion data suggest racial differences in immigration concern. This study examines whether immigration concern mediates the racial difference in smoking. Drawing on the 2012 General Social Survey, the 2012 American National Election Study, and the 2006 Portraits of American Life Study, immigration concern was assoc…

Race, Social Identity, and Generative Spaces: Miami as a Microcosm of Categorical Complexity in a 21st-Century Global City
This article draws principally from the work of preeminent sociologist Alejandro Portes on the rise of Miami as a global city (segmented assimilation as well as the institutional bases for social cohesion amid diversity) to propose a blueprint for reducing social inequality in Greater Miami. Employing key insights from psychology and sociology, we bring together data and research on macro-level structural changes, meso-level dynamics of city poli…
Asian American Attitudes towards a US Citizenship Path for Illegal Immigrants: Immigration Reform as Racialised Politics
Do Asian Americans view a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants in the USA as related to perceptions of shared interests with other ethnoracial groups? I utilise the National Asian American Survey to test this possibility. Ordinal logistic regressions reveal that higher levels of perceived political commonality with Latinos relate to increased support for the provision of a citizenship path. Similarly, higher perceived political commonality …
Segmented political assimilation: Perceptions of racialized opportunities and Latino immigrants' partisan identification
To account for Latino immigrants' assimilation into the American political mainstream, I derive social psychological factors from the contextual notion of 'modes of incorporation' in the segmented assimilation literature. These social psychological factors, perceptions of racialized opportunities (PROPs), relate to immigrants' adoption of political party identities (i.e. Democrat, Republican). I test these PROPs factors utilizing the 2006 Latino …
Multiple Group Threat and Malleable White Attitudes Towards Academic Merit
As the White populace in the United States moves toward numerical minority status by 2042, how might Whites respond to impending threat of losing their dominant group position? In particular, how will Whites react at selective, elite universities, where Asians are increasingly prominent and other non-Whites are maintaining or capturing a larger share of enrollments? Drawing on group position theory, I test White commitment to meritocracy as a pub…

Perceptions of Racialized Opportunities and Hispanics' Political Attitudes: Predicting Support for School Vouchers and Government Intervention in Health Care
In an attempt to understand Hispanics' political incorporation as the United States becomes a "majority-minority" nation, I explore some of the social-psychological processes that shape Hispanics' political attitudes. Specifically, I draw on the segmented-assimilation literature's notion of "modes of incorporation" to argue that immigrants develop perceptions of racialized opportunities (PROPs) as they confront America's segmented opportunity str…
I’ll Conjure Me a World: Biblical imagery and figures in the work of Saul Stacey Williams
Theophus Smith’s Conjuring Culture provides the hermeneutical tools to track the transmission and transformation of Biblical images, metaphors, and figures beyond the sacred site of the African American church into the popular cultural forms of film, music, and performance poetry as exemplified by Saul Stacey Williams. Williams uses Biblical figures to challenge white supremacy, patriarchy, and misogyny, while identifying his cultural productions…
