Sharing Meals, Making Meanings: Foodways among 2nd and 1.5 Generation Immigrants
Second- and 1.5-generation immigrants must negotiate multiple cultures: the culture(s) of their parents and the dominant culture where they grow up. Foodways, then, play a critical role in the construction of cultural identity, marking group inclusion and/or exclusion. This study explores how people with inherited in between identities construct meaning in their everyday lives through food. It examines the intersections of diaspora, acculturation…
Unlocking Opportunities: The Influence of Entrepreneurial Motivations on the Pursuit of Training Among Black Entrepreneurs in Alberta
Effortful control is associated with ethnic minority children’s pro-wealth biases and explanations across social domains
Children's tendency to prefer rich to poor people and to view wealthy individuals more positively has been well-documented, but little is known about (a) the mechanisms underlying this "pro-wealth" bias and (b) the extent to which it holds across various social domains (e.g., friendships vs. school project partners). Using a mixed-methods approach, we examined the development of status-based social preferences in a socioeconomically diverse sampl…
Maladaptive but malleable: Gender-science stereotypes emerge early but are modifiable by language
Gender-science stereotypes emerge early in childhood, but little is known about the developmental processes by which they arise. The present study tested the hypothesis that language implying scientists are a special and distinct kind of person contributes to the development of gender-science stereotypes, even when it does not communicate stereotypic content. One cross-sectional and two longitudinal studies with racially and geographically divers…
Soil application of high-lignin fermentation byproduct to increase the sustainability of liquid biofuel production from crop residues
When digestates from anaerobic digestion of crop residues are added to soil, a considerable body of information indicates that soil organic carbon (SOC) levels are comparable to those when crop residues are left in the field. This occurs although the amount of digestate added to soil is diminished by digestion and implies that digestion increases the proportion of carbon inputs stabilized as SOC. Here we examine the likelihood and implications of…
How children’s media and teachers communicate exclusive and essentialist views of science and scientists
Language that uses noun labels and generic descriptions to discuss people who do science (e.g., "Let's be scientists! Scientists discover new things") signals to children that "scientists" is a distinctive category. This identity-focused language promotes essentialist beliefs and leads to disengagement from science among young children in experimental contexts. The extent to which these cues shape the development of children's beliefs and behavio…

The souls of Black folk (and the weight of Black ancestry) in U.S. Black Americans’ racial categorization
We theorized that from the perspective of U.S. Black Americans, a connection to Black ancestry-and the historical hardship associated with that ancestry-plays an important role in racial categorization. We found support for this across six studies. In Studies 1-3, participants categorized targets with Black ancestry and White experiences or targets with White ancestry and Black experiences. U.S. Black Americans' (more than non-Black Americans') r…
Harnessing the power of group norms to improve children’s intergroup relationships
God as a White man: A psychological barrier to conceptualizing Black people and women as leadership worthy
on May 21 2020 (see record 2020-36018-001). In the article, the phrase Mixed Effects in the table title for Tables 1-3 and Tables 6-8 is incorrect. The corrected phrase should appear instead as Fixed Effects. All versions of this article have been corrected.] In the United States, God is commonly conceptualized as the omnipotent and omniscient entity that created the universe, and as a White man. We questioned whether the extent to which God is c…
