Implementing Culturally Responsive Evaluation Methods
Can Social Justice Live in a House of Structural Racism? A Question for the Field of Evaluation
This article questions whether social justice can live within the structural racism present in the field of evaluation. Structural racism refers to the totality of ways in which societies foster racial discrimination through mutually reinforcing systems of housing, education, employment, earnings, benefits, credit, media, health care, and criminal justice. In order for social justice to be a professional standard of evaluation, the field must rec…
Introduction to the Section on Race and Evaluation
The introduction to the section outlines the need for the discussion about race and evaluation, as well as race in evaluation, and outlines the articles which discuss the topic from a variety of perspectives
The Use of Multiple Evaluation Approaches in Program Evaluation
The authors discuss the use of multiple evaluation approaches in conducting program evaluations. Specifically, they illustrate four evaluation approaches (theory-driven, consumer-based, empowerment, and inclusive evaluation) and briefly discuss a fifth (use-focused evaluation) as a side effect of the use of the others. The authors also address the usefulness of a multimethod research design with these approaches, especially in developing responsi…
Patterns of Attachment and Responses to Accommodative Dilemmas among Interethnic/Interracial Couples
In the present study, partners from 103 heterosexual inter-ethnic/interracial couples (103 men and 103 women) completed categorical measures of attachment style and continuous measures of responses to accommodative dilemmas. Consistent with hypotheses, there was a significantly higher proportion of secure over insecure individuals among both sexes. Further, the difference between secure and insecure individuals’ accommodative tendencies was great…
Romanticism and Interpersonal Resource Exchange among African American-Anglo and Other Interracial Couples
The present study examines the extent to which romanticism (i.e., an orientation toward the welfare of one's romantic relationship dyad) is reflected in patterns of interpersonal resource exchange (i.e., the reciprocity of affection and respect as interpersonal commodities or resources) in a sample of 91 interracial couples. Results indicated that consistent with predictions, (a) men and women in interracial relationships as a whole exchanged aff…
Links between race/ethnicity and cultural values as mediated by racial/ethnic identity and moderated by gender
Two studies examined whether individualism (orientation toward one's own welfare), collectivism (orientation toward the welfare of one's larger community), and familism (orientation toward the welfare of one's immediate and extended family) are distinct cultural values predicted by race/ ethnicity. The 3 constructs proved to be separate dimensions, although collectivism and familism were positively correlated. In Study 1, persons of color scored …
