Examining the Antecedents, Prevalence and Trajectories of Reactionary Collective Action Intentions Among Europeans Over Time
Reactionary movements—movements that effectively increase inequality by advancing the rights of structurally advantaged groups—are of increasing concern in contemporary politics. Yet few studies assess support for these movements over time. We address this oversight in two studies examining reactionary collective action intentions over 9 years in a nationwide sample of New Zealand Europeans ( N total = 54,561). Random intercept cross‐lagged panel…
Age, ethnicity, life events and wellbeing among New Zealand women
By the year 2030, 19–21 per cent of the population of New Zealand (NZ) is projected to be aged 65 and over. Like many countries, life expectancy in NZ differs by gender but also ethnicity: in 2019, life expectancy for Māori (indigenous) women was 77.1 years compared with 84.4 years for non-Māori women. If Māori and NZ European women are to flourish in later life, examining the factors associated with their wellbeing is paramount. The current stud…
New Zealand’s Waitangi Day divided? Support for national Day predicts in-group and out-group warmth for Pākehā but only in-group warmth for Māori
Why Do We Hold Mixed Emotions About Racial Out-Groups? A Case for Affect Matching
A four-wave survey on a national probabilistic sample ( N = 17,399) tested novel predictions about how positive and negative contact with racial out-groups predicts warmth and anger toward those groups. Three competing hypotheses were tested: (a) that negative contact will outweigh positive contact when predicting both emotions ("bad is stronger than good"); (b) that negative and positive contact will similarly predict each emotion; and (c) that …
To Be at One with the Land: Māori Spirituality Predicts Greater Environmental Regard
Māori, New Zealand's indigenous population, have a unique connection to the environment (Harris and Tipene 2006). In Māori tradition, Papatūānuku is the land-the earth mother who gives birth to all things, including Māori (Dell 2017). Māori also self-define as tāngata whenua (people of the land), a status formally recognised in New Zealand legislation. Māori have fought to regain tino rangatiratanga (authority and self-determination; see Gillespi…
The Prevalence and Impact of Racism Toward Indigenous Māori in New Zealand
Intolerance toward indigenous people is a common feature of colonial societies, and New Zealand is no exception. Despite aspirations of equality, evidence suggests that discrimination toward Māori remains pervasive and may relate to continued inequalities in social, economic, and psychological domains. This article analyzes self-report questionnaire data from 1,790 Māori sampled as part of the New Zealand Attitudes and Values Study. We describe a…
Bias and tracking accuracy in voting projections using the New Zealand attitudes and values study
We introduce a method for assessing the overall level of bias and relative tracking accuracy in time series analysis of polling data on voter intentions by comparing two data sets: the New Zealand Attitudes and Values Study (NZAVS; N = 13,936) and the One News Colmar Brunton election polls (N = 10,210). The NZAVS is a national probability longitudinal postal panel survey started in 2009. It was set up to track stability and change in values, with…
Cultural Connection Predicts Perceptions of Financial Security for Māori
What you can't see can hurt you: How do stereotyping, implicit bias and stereotype threat affect Māori health
A number of studies demonstrate Mori receive a poorer standard of healthcare than Pkeh and other non-Mori in New Zealand. Implicit bias on the part of healthcare providers has been cited as a key contributor to health inequities internationally; however, the concept has not yet been explored in relation to Mori health. This paper addresses that research gap and describes a theoretical basis for further research on the role of bias for Mori health…
