“An intelligent response to the modern student”: Enhancing flexibility with an institution-wide, no-questions-asked extension policy
Students are coming to university from non-traditional backgrounds and have substantial caring and work commitments. Our university recently introduced an extension policy that enables students to access a no-questions-asked, automatic 7-day extension on a single assessment item for each subject they enrol in. There is no requirement for students to provide a reason or supporting documents, or for academic approval. The aim of this study was to e…
The Weight of It All: An Analysis of Help-Seeking Behavior Among Black and White College Women
Sociologists often interpret racial differences in help-seeking behavior in the United States as stemming from differences in cultural capital, an implication being that those who hesitate to seek help lack understanding of how important it is for success. In this paper, we draw on the work of W. E. B Du Bois and research on gender and racial stereotypes to show that it is not a lack of understanding about the importance of help-seeking, but rath…
Hand-drawn concept-mapping as a participatory visual method
To explore both the potential and current impact of digital technologies on schooling in two rural school communities, the use of hand-drawn concept maps as a participatory method of inquiry was chosen to enable school community members to express their views. This approach enabled the ideas and issues they considered most important to be expressed with minimal direction or interference from the researcher. A variety of stakeholders from two scho…
Drinking from a Full Cup: Race, Racism, and Discrimination in Contemporary Social Psychological Research
Effects of Mandatory Sexual Misconduct Training on University Campuses
The authors explore whether mandatory, universal, in-person sexual misconduct training achieves its goals to build knowledge about sexual assault and harassment and increase intentions to report episodes of assault. The authors present results from three studies with quasi-experimental designs as well as interviews with students and staff members at a diverse public university in the western United States. The surprising finding is that participa…
Assessing the Causal Link between the Covid-19 Pandemic and Racial Discrimination
In this article, we report the results of a randomized controlled experiment that examines how exposure to information about a global pandemic from Asia affects white Americans' prosocial behavior towards white, black, and Asian Americans. We find that when exposed to a new disease threat from Asia, (1) white Americans donate significantly less money to Asian American recipients than to white or black American recipients, (2) liberals and conserv…
Take Off Your Hoodie: Assessing How Professional Attire Influences the Perception of Black Men as Threatening
Previous research has demonstrated that Black men are perceived to be more threatening than White men. Relatedly, public discourse suggests that respectable dress may reduce this perception. In this paper, we test whether professional attire reduces associations of threat with Black men. In three separate studies, participants completed a modified version of the Weapons Implicit Association Test (IAT). In Study 1, we tested whether Black men are …
Left, right, Black, and White: How White college students talk about their inter- and intra- racial swiping preferences on Tinder
Previous studies reveal that Black women are the least likely to be selected or matched on dating/hookup apps, followed closely behind by Black men. Our study seeks to better understand how, when asked to confront their preferences, white heterosexual college-aged students justify their racial tastes on the popular dating app, Tinder. Drawing on data from 137 peer-to-peer interviews with students at two large universities in the southeastern Unit…
The Sexual Harassment of Federal Employees: Gender, Leadership Status, and Organizational Tolerance for Abuses of Power
Theory and research suggest that sexual harassment is often a dominance strategy used to undermine women’s power, but the precise relationships between government employees’ workplace power, organizational climate, and vulnerability to particular types of sexual harassment remain under-specified. This study analyzes data from the 2016 US Merit Systems Protection Board survey of the federal civilian workforce (the most comprehensive and up-to-date…
Honorary Whites? Asian American Women and the Dominance Penalty
Women face a double bind in positions of leadership; they are expected to display authority in order to appear competent but are judged as socially deficient if they are perceived to be too dominant. This dominance penalty is well documented, but most studies examine reactions only to white women's leadership displays. The authors use an experimental design to compare evaluations of hypothetical job promotion candidates who are all characterized …
Behavioral Regularities and Norm Stickiness: The Cases of Transracial Adoption and Online Privacy
We find that behavioral regularities affect normative expectations, which in turn are associated with decisions consistent with existing behaviors. People use descriptive norms to infer what others actually approve. This dynamic can lead to contradictions between implicit and explicit norms, and can both impede and foster norm change
Perceptions of Legitimacy: The Sex of the Legal Messenger and Reactions to Sexual Harassment Training
Research shows that exposure to sexual harassment policy sometimes activates traditional gender stereotypes. This article examines whether the sex of the legal messenger moderates reactions to the enforcement of sexual harassment laws. We employ a 2 × 2 experimental design in which we measure the effect of a sexual harassment policy intervention on male participants’ gender beliefs. The design varies whether the person communicating the policy in…
How Easily Does a Social Difference Become a Status Distinction? Gender Matters
Are people quick to adopt status beliefs about a social difference that lead them to treat others unequally? In a test of status construction theory, two experiments show that men and women form equally strong status beliefs from only two encounters with others. Men act powerfully on these new beliefs in their next encounters with others but women do not, possibly because women face greater social risks for acting on ambiguous status advantages. …
