A call for standardization: A case study of theoretical ambiguity in mental illness labeling and stigma research via systematic review
What Is the Effect of an Inferred Mental Illness Label on Stigma? Theoretical and Empirical Challenges
One of the strengths of vignette-based experimental research is that it captures the mental illness labeling process in the way it often occurs-inference without full information. Unfortunately, because the process of inferring a label is associated with confounding variables, such as perceived deviance and prior contact, it is difficult to measure the causal effect of inferred mental illness labels. To address these confounding variables, we adv…
Measuring Team Hierarchy During High-Stakes Clinical Decision Making: Development and Validation of a New Behavioral Observation Method
Mapping the Content of Asian Stereotypes in the United States: Intersections with Ethnicity, Gender, Income, and Birthplace
How are people of Asian origin perceived in contemporary U.S. culture? While often depicted as a “model minority”—competent and hardworking but also quiet, unsociable, or cold—little work measures whether and how these stereotypes vary for Asians in different social locations. We use a large (n ≈ 4,700) quota sample of the United States, matched to key U.S. demographics, to map the content of Asian stereotypes across ethnicity, gender, income, an…
Preregistration and Registered Reports in Sociology: Strengths, Weaknesses, and Other Considerations
Both within and outside of sociology, there are conversations about methods to reduce error and improve research quality—one such method is preregistration and its counterpart, registered reports. Preregistration is the process of detailing research questions, variables, analysis plans, etc. before conducting research. Registered reports take this one step further, with a paper being reviewed on the merit of these plans, not its findings. In this…
Cultivating contact: How social norms can reduce mental illness stigma in college populations
Racial and Ethnic Status Distinctions and Discrimination: The Effects of Prior Contact and Group Interaction
Although racial and ethnic inequalities are consistently reproduced on both macro and micro levels, intergroup contact theory (ICT) and status characteristics and expectation states theory (SC-EST) identify opportunities for intervention. SC-EST most often limits its scope to examining deferential behavior and attitudes toward out-group members in specific interactions; ICT has a broader scope, including measures of attitudes, affect, and behavio…
The Stigma Discourse-Value Framework
Although stigma was first theorized as a basic social process, its contemporary developments have been highly compartmentalized. Understanding the nature of stigma—how it operates across subjects and circumstances—requires a return to general theory. The authors take this general turn, focusing on stigma’s discursive element. Through combined case studies of race, disability, and fat stigma (134 interviews with 146 parents), they develop the stig…
The past, present, and future of experimental methods in the social sciences
The status and stigma consequences of mental illness labels, deviant behavior, and fear
Can You Really Study an Army on the Internet? Comparing How Status Tasks Perform in the Laboratory and Online Settings
Laboratory experiments have a long history within sociology, with their ability to test causality and their utility for directly observing behavior providing key advantages. One influential social psychological field, status characteristics and expectation states theory, has almost exclusively used laboratory experiments to test the theory. Unfortunately, laboratory experiments are resource intensive, requiring a research pool, laboratory space, …

Evolving Public Views On The Likelihood Of Violence From People With Mental Illness: Stigma And Its Consequences
Highly publicized acts of violence routinely spark reactions that place blame on the perpetrator's presumed mental illness. Despite solid evidence that people with mental illness are unlikely to be dangerous, such prejudice can lead to support for inappropriately using legal means to force people into treatment. We examined trends in public perceptions of violence and support for coerced treatment across a twenty-two-year period using data from t…
Groups, Inequality, and Synergy
We combine insights from the sociological and psychological traditions of social psychology to examine how status inequality may affect group performance. Specifically, we examine how synergy, that is, performance gains produced through group interaction, is realized in ethnically diverse groups. Research suggests that diverse work groups struggle to capitalize on the strengths of all group members, and in turn, achieve synergy less frequently th…
The Stereotype Content of Sexual Orientation
The stereotype content model provides a powerful tool to examine influential societal stereotypes associated with social groups. We theorize how stereotypes of gender, sexuality, and a group’s status in society combine to influence societal views of sexual orientation groups—placing particular emphasis on stereotypes of warmth and competence. In two survey experiments, we collect quantitative measures of stereotype content and open-response items…
Distribution and disavowal: Managing the parental stigma of Children's weight and weight loss
Precarious Sexuality: How Men and Women Are Differentially Categorized for Similar Sexual Behavior
Are men and women categorized differently for similar sexual behavior? Building on theories of gender, sexuality, and status, we introduce the concept of precarious sexuality to suggest that men's-but not women's-heterosexuality is an especially privileged identity that is easily lost. We test our hypotheses in a series of survey experiments describing a person who has a sexual experience conflicting with their sexual history. We find that a sing…
Discourse in Action: Parents' use of medical and social models to resist disability stigma
Discursive Entwinement: How White Transracially Adoptive Parents Navigate Race
Through 47 interviews with 56 White parents who attend culture camps, the authors analyze race discourse and practices in transracially adoptive families. The authors document parents' use of two discursive frames, colorblindness and race consciousness, and find that small subsamples of parents use either race consciousness or colorblindness exclusively, while the majority (66 percent) entwine the two discursive frames together. Because the sampl…
Implications of Changing Family Forms for Children
This paper explores what it means to do a sociology of families, that is, one that acknowledges and considers a wider array of family forms than typically has been explored. We begin by reviewing the existing sociological research on a range of alternative family forms, ultimately focusing on older-parent, adoptive, same-sex, and multiracial families. We describe and critically assess four theoretical approaches to examining family forms-family s…
