Validating Whites’ Reactions to the “Racial Shift”
A prominent paradigm demonstrates many White Americans respond negatively to information on their declining population share. But this paradigm considers this “racial shift” in a single hierarchy-challenging context that produces similar status threat responses across conceptually distinct outcomes, undercutting the ability to both explain the causes of Whites’ social and political responses and advance theorizing about native majorities’ respons…
Proving Her Strength
Why do some legislators continue to obstruct despite public support for compromise? We suggest that legislator gender and voter partisanship are key but often overlooked determinants of how voters process obstructive behaviors by legislators. Since Republicans value masculinity more than Democrats, and obstruction is a masculine behavior, we theorize that Republicans are more likely to reward obstructive behavior, especially from women legislator…
The Partisan Effects of News Coverage Highlighting Inclusion in Congress
After US elections, news stories frequently highlight how the US Congress has a higher proportion of women and is more racially and ethnically diverse than at any point in history. While some literature suggests that this coverage may diminish legitimacy and support for democratic norms, other research suggests that as descriptive representation increases, citizens—including white people and men—have more trust in their institutions and perceive …
Diversity politics
Although the importance of diversity is hotly contested in U.S. politics, political parties have increasingly embraced descriptive representation as an important ideal. Indeed, in recent years both Democratic and Republican political leaders have even publicly committed to selecting underrepresented candidates for powerful roles. We examine how different types of elite rhetoric promoting racial diversity can influence evaluations of the governmen…
When Push Comes to Shove
What factors do Americans find most important when evaluating acts of political violence? Normatively, details regarding the violent act (e.g., the target and violence severity) should determine the punishment for political violence. However, recent work on polarization and identity suggests evaluations of political violence may depend on the perpetrator’s characteristics. In two pre-registered conjoint experiments, we vary both perpetrator chara…
Dress and the Public, Private and Secret Self Model during emerging adulthood
This research is a new application of Dress and the Public, Private and Secret Self (PPSS) Model. From a symbolic interaction theory approach, dress and parts of the self were developed in 1981 and expanded in 1994 from three categories to nine. According to the literature, adolescents use dress in two cells of the PPSS Model while older adults use dress in nine cells. To find out whether there is a different stage of dress between adolescence an…
