Shifting Demographics, Shifting Perceptions: How Race and Politics Shape Reactions to the Majority-Minority Future
Racial minorities are expected to be a majority of the U.S. population by 2044. We examined predictors of Americans’ perceptions towards this racial demographic shift (RDS), how accurately they estimate others’ perceptions, and whether an intervention corrects people’s misperceptions. In Study 1, in a nationally representative sample ( N = 1,600), most Republicans, Independents, and Democrats viewed the RDS as neutral or good. Being White, conser…
Changes in dangerous and competitive worldviews during the coronavirus epidemic: Evidence from a large-scale U.S. panel study
In a large ( N = 1,600) nationally representative and longitudinal survey of the American population, conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic we investigated whether dangerous or competitive worldviews shifted. Results show that across the span of one year (i.e., the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic), dangerous but not competitive worldviews, as measured via the dual-process of prejudice framework, significantly increased. This increase was sig…
Climate Change Stress Leads to Diverse Coping Approaches Depending on Political Beliefs
Climate change is a source of anxiety and stress. To be resilient to the changes that are occurring, individuals must cope with that stress. Two studies (Study 1 N = 340, Study 2 N = 274) conducted via MTurk examined variation in coping strategy use among Americans who reported some concern about climate change to understand generally how people cope with such stress, and whether it can be predicted from their level of climate change concern, pol…
Individual–Community Misalignment in Partisan Identity Predicts Distancing From Norms During the Covid-19 Pandemic
This study investigated whether misalignment between an individual and their community in partisan identity predicted psychological and behavioral distancing from local COVID-19 norms. A nationally representative sample of Republicans and Democrats provided longitudinal data in April ( N = 3,492) and June 2020 ( N = 2,649). Democrats in Republican communities reported especially heightened better-than-average estimates, perceiving themselves as m…
Rooted in Racism? Race, Partisanship, Status Threat, and Public Opinion Toward Statehood for Washington, D.C
In recent years, a number of prominent elected officials on both sides of the partisan divide have weighed in on the possibility of making Washington, D.C., the nation’s fifty-first state. While Democratic supporters of statehood for D.C. emphasize issues of equal representation, some Republican opponents have stressed the partisan and ideological consequences of D.C. statehood. Other Republican opponents, in justifying their position, have made …

Guilt Enhances the Persuasive Effects of Injunctive But Not Descriptive Social Norms
The focus theory of normative conduct asserts that distinct processes are involved in responding to injunctive norms versus descriptive norms. This research tested the prediction that guilt would be more strongly involved in motivating conformity to injunctive than descriptive norms. Study 1 demonstrates that people anticipate feeling guiltier following injunctive than descriptive norm violations. Studies 2 and 3 demonstrate that guilt proneness …
Will others approve? Effects of an injunctive norms intervention on intentions to use protective behavioral strategies during drinking games
Background Playing drinking games is associated with increased alcohol consumption and negative consequences. Using protective behavioral strategies while playing drinking games (e.g. alternating alcoholic and nonalcoholic drinks) may reduce consumption and consequences. We hypothesized that an injunctive norms intervention, conveying peer approval for using protective strategies during drinking games, would increase perceptions of approval for s…

Discrimination and excessive weight gain during pregnancy among Black and Latina young women
Changes in Experiences With Discrimination Across Pregnancy and Postpartum: Age Differences and Consequences for Mental Health
Our results support a life course approach to understanding the impact of experiences with discrimination on health and when to intervene
Discrimination and sexual risk among young urban pregnant women of color
This is the first investigation establishing a link between discrimination and STI diagnosis, not just risk behavior. It does so among a sample of at-risk, young, pregnant, women of color. Findings suggest implications for sexual risk during pregnancy and across the life span, and risks for the pregnancy and fetus. It is vital to reduce discrimination to eliminate disparities in HIV and STIs. Future research should continue examining the role of …

Associations of a Sexually Transmitted Disease Diagnosis During a Relationship with Condom Use and Psychosocial Outcomes: (Short) Windows of Opportunity
Few studies have examined whether and how receiving an sexually transmitted disease (STD) diagnosis while in a romantic relationship relates to condom use and psychosocial sexual outcomes. Using dyadic data, we examined associations of a personal or a partner's STD diagnosis during a relationship with condom use, monogamy intentions, condom intentions and attitudes, and STD susceptibility and communication. Because beliefs about how the STD was a…
Maternal Experiences with Everyday Discrimination and Infant Birth Weight: A Test of Mediators and Moderators Among Young, Urban Women of Color
