  • Public Opinion on Overturning Roe v. Wade: Separate Spheres Ideology, Abortion Identity, and Message Framing in a Three-Wave Panel Study

    Open AccessLee Horne, Eugene Borgida et al.ARTICLEGroup Processes & Intergroup…2026

    The U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization (hereafter, Dobbs ) overturning Roe v. Wade was a landmark decision. We focus on the influence of gender ideology, measured by separate spheres ideology (SSI), on public perceptions of this decision. In a three-wave survey-experiment panel study with a nationally diverse sample, participants reported their endorsement of SSI, gender system justification, abortion id…

  • Ellen Berscheid (1936–2025)

    Jeffry A Simpson, Eugene Borgida et al.ARTICLEAmerican Psychologist2026

    Memorializes Ellen Berscheid (1936-2025), one of the cofounders of relationship science and a trailblazing pioneer for women in psychology. In 1965, she became the first woman hired in the business school at the University of Minnesota. In 1967, Jack Darley, chair of psychology at Minnesota, realized that Ellen had star potential and hired her. She rose to the rank of full professor in just 4 years. Over the next 4 decades, Ellen published many s…

  • Judges at Risk: A Review of Homicides of U.S. Judges

    Open AccessWilliam N Robiner, Eugene BorgidaARTICLEBehavioral Sciences & the Law2025

    We identified 54 homicides of U.S. judges since the 1800s through news accounts, databases, and the National Violent Death Reporting System (NVDRS). Most (92.6%) decedents were men. More than half of the homicides had a connection to work. Firearms were the most common attack method. Although violence is relatively common in U.S. courts, homicides of judges are rare. Homicide nevertheless is an occupational hazard and potential threat for judges …

  • Debunking misinformation on critical race theory

    Open AccessMackenzie Devaney, Celso Federico et al.ARTICLEPolitical Psychology2025References: 38

    There continues to be a pressing need to design and test effective corrections in response to political misinformation, as citizens must have accurate information to be able to meaningfully participate in politics. Critical race theory (CRT) is an issue marked by widespread misinformation and controversy, leading to efforts in multiple states to ban CRT. In a three‐wave panel design with a nationally diverse U.S. sample, a correction of misinform…

  • Plea Bargaining: A Test of Dual Discounting Preferences for Non-Monetary Losses

    Open AccessLauren Clatch, Eugene BorgidaARTICLEPersonality and Social Psychology…2021

    Judgment and decision-making research on discounting suggests that when humans are thinking about gains, they tend to prefer certain and immediate outcomes to uncertain and delayed outcomes. However, discounting has been studied primarily using monetary commodities and, until recently, by testing one feature of the binary forced-choice task at a time: delay, probability, or amount of money received/lost. The present research is the first test of …

  • A four-dimensional model of Asian American stereotypes

    Open AccessWen Bu, Eugene BorgidaARTICLEGroup Processes & Intergroup…2020References: 10

    The content of the Asian American model minority stereotype is important for understanding how Asian American individuals are perceived. Existing theories about stereotype content may not capture the unique historical and cultural context that could affect perceptions of Asian American individuals. We have identified a more differentiated underlying structure with four dimensions—warmth, competence, self-centeredness, and submissiveness—that diff…

  • Racial Bias Increases False Identification of Black Suspects in Simultaneous Lineups

    Open AccessJoseph A Vitriol, Jacob Appleby et al.ARTICLESocial Psychological and…2019

    People are better able to correctly identify the faces of individuals who belong to their own race. Research linking the cross-race effect in face recognition to racial attitudes has been limited to explicit measures and sequential presentation formats. Using a simultaneous lineup task, our results from two studies revealed a systematic relationship between explicit racial bias and increased false identification of Black faces. We observed incons…

  • Social Norms and Egalitarian Values Mitigate Authoritarian Intolerance Toward Sexual Minorities

    Open AccessClifton M Oyamot, Melinda S Jackson et al.ARTICLEPolitical Psychology2017Cited by: 9References: 35

    In the United States, acceptance of sexual minorities (e.g., gay men and lesbians) has increased substantially since the early 1990s. This study examined whether authoritarians' attitudes have been influenced by the societal shift toward greater acceptance of sexual minorities. Using data from the American National Election Studies (ANES) collected between 1992 and 2012, we tested a model in which authoritarianism, endorsement of egalitarian valu…

  • Implicit and Explicit Measurement Approaches to Research on Policy Implementation: The Case of Race-Based Disparities in Criminal Justice

    Open AccessEugene Borgida, Andrea Miller et al.ARTICLEPS Political Science & Politics2013Cited by: 1References: 10

    In 2011, more than 3% of all black men in the United States were imprisoned, compared to only 0.5% of all white men. Among prisoners ages 18 to 24, black men were imprisoned at a rate more than seven times that of white men (Carson and Sabol 2012). It is becoming increasingly urgent for researchers to understand what accounts for these race-based disparities. While a broad constellation of social problems exist that likely contribute to these dis…

  • Intergroup Disparities and Implicit Bias: A Commentary

    Open AccessEmily L Fisher, Eugene BorgidaARTICLEJournal of Social Issues2012Cited by: 3References: 41

    Despite changing societal norms that are less tolerant of overt discrimination, demonstrable disparities between racial and gender groups remain. The contributors to this impressive special issue document and offer explanations for these disparities in employment and professional contexts, and with regard to disparate outcomes associated with the legal system, and in medical and health care contexts. In our commentary, we examine these aggregate‐…

  • The Political Psychology of Democratic Citizenship

    Eugene Borgida, Christopher M Federico et al.BOOKPolitical psychology of…2009

    While scholars in political science, social psychology and mass communications have made notable contributions to our understanding of democratic citizenship, they concentrate on very different aspects of the overall problem. The current volume challenges this fragmentary pattern of inquiry, and adopts an interdisciplinary approach to the analysis of citizenship, which holds great potential for insight and integration across topic areas, and for …

  • Providing Expert Knowledge in an Adversarial Context: Social Cognitive Science in Employment Discrimination Cases

    Open AccessSusan T Fiske, Eugene BorgidaARTICLEAnnual Review of Law and Social…2008Cited by: 5References: 27

    Quality science provides the foundation for expert testimony in court, a claim illustrated here by three established principles of social cognition frequently applied to litigation in employment discrimination cases. First, dual processes, automatic and controlled, underlie “hidden” bias. The Implicit Association Test exemplifies one controversial but scientifically tractable application of such automaticity principles. Second, encoding and atten…

  • Beliefs about Deliberation: Personal and Normative Dimensions

    Open AccessEugene Borgida, Keilah A Worth et al.ARTICLEJournal of Social Issues2008References: 10

    Democratic deliberative theory has long emphasized the importance of citizen deliberation as a form of political participation and a centrally important component of any vital democracy. Public deliberation and discourse among citizens has been less frequently investigated as a form of political participation than more standard indicators such as voting or volunteering for political organizations. This research examines the extent to which intern…

  • Race and Redistricting: What the Print Media Conveys to the Public about the Role of Race

    Open AccessDamla Ergun, Grace Deason et al.ARTICLEJournal of Social Issues2008References: 15

    In a series of voting rights cases, the U.S. Supreme Court held that race‐based redistricting, particularly the intentional formation of majority–minority districts (districts in which voters of color constitute a majority of eligible voters) may be unconstitutional if race was the predominant factor in the formation of the district. The Court stated that “redistricting legislation that is so bizarre on its face that it is unexplainable on ground…

    Open AccessEugene Borgida, Emily N Stark et al.ARTICLEAmerican Behavioral Scientist2004Cited by: 2References: 28

    Many fascinating questions have been raised about the "transformative" influence of the Internet on everyday social life. Some research suggests that the Internet has a positive and transformative influence on many lives, but other studies suggest that this influence is overstated and not always associated with such positive consequences. This article briefly discusses some of these claims, especially those grounded in research from social and po…

  • Civic Culture Meets the Digital Divide: The Role of Community Electronic Networks

    Open AccessEugene Borgida, John L Sullivan et al.ARTICLEJournal of Social Issues2002Cited by: 16

    The concept of social capital reflects the norms and social relations embedded in the social structure of societies that enable people to coordinate community action to achieve desired goals. Our research focuses on the role that norms of cooperation and civic and political culture play in addressing the “digital divide” in computer use and Internet access. We review evidence from mail surveys of randomly selected respondents in two rural Minneso…

    Open AccessJohn L Sullivan, Eugene Borgida et al.ARTICLEAmerican Behavioral Scientist2002Cited by: 5References: 29

    In this article, the authors discuss the implementation of a community electronic network in a rural Minnesota town. The network is intended to help the community keep up with global technological progress by increasing access to the Internet. The current project compares this community approach to electronic networks with an economic, for-profit approach utilized in a nonequivalent control community. Drawing on the theory of social capital, the …
