The reproductive rights of pregnant people: Abortion attitudes and gender‐inclusive language
Debate over abortion care in the US has intensified since the June 2022 Supreme Court decision that curtailed abortion rights. Concurrently, Americans are divided over the legitimacy of gender identities other than woman and man. These two issues have coincided in calls for gender‐inclusive language such as “pregnant person” when discussing reproductive issues. I examined whether abortion attitudes are affected by such gender‐inclusive language. …
(Mis)Matching Expectations: The Effects of Claimant Gender Identity and Harassment Form on Perceptions of Sexual Harassment Claims
Laypeople often assume a typical sexual harassment incident involves a cisgender man directing sexual advances toward a cisgender woman. Alternatively, when people learn that a transgender woman was sexually harassed, they tend to assume she experienced gender harassment. How are harassment claims that do not match these expectations evaluated? In two preregistered studies, participants ( N = 630 and 638) read a social media post from a transgend…
Are beliefs about “being a man” associated with White men’s self-perceptions about confronting racism
Do Sexual Harassment Claimants’ Gender Identity and Race Influence Third-Party Observers’ Assumptions About the Harassment Incident
Sexual harassment research typically focuses on White cisgender women. Are harassment targets who are not White cisgender women perceived similarly? In three preregistered studies, participants (Study 1: N = 442; Study 2: N = 2,088, nationally representative U.S. sample; Study 3: N = 577) read about a formal (Studies 1 and 2) or informal (Study 3) sexual harassment claim made by a woman whose gender identity (cisgender vs. transgender) and race (…
How Cisgender People Define “Transgender” Is Associated with Attitudes Toward Transgender People
How Do Non-Black U.S. College Students Think They Would Feel After Committing a Race-Related Interpersonal Transgression
Mixed Evidence for Interactive Effects of Outgroup Proportions and Intergroup Contact on Racial Bias in the United States
Dominant majority-group members living in areas with larger proportions of outgroup members tend to express more ingroup bias. However, prior research has rarely considered this in tandem with the bias-reducing effects of intergroup contact or tested whether outgroup proportions have similar effects for oppressed minority-group members. In two preregistered studies, we tested whether contact moderates the association between outgroup proportions …
When group members dissent: A direct comparison of the black sheep and intergroup sensitivity effects
Evoking gender distinctiveness threat in cisgender women lowers their support for gender-inclusive bathroom policies
Some cisgender women oppose policies granting transgender women access to women-only bathrooms. We examined whether this opposition stems from perceiving that transgender women threaten the distinctiveness of the social category “women” (gender distinctiveness threat). Cisgender women ( N = 520) read about a state bill enabling transgender women to use women’s bathrooms. Participants further read that enacting the bill would mean their state offi…
Has social psychology lost touch with reality? Exploring public perceptions of the realism and consequentiality of social psychological research
Likert, slider, or text? reassurances about response format effects
Few experiments in the domain of addictive behaviors address how response format might impact self-reports of drug use, drug problems, or their correlates. In a preregistered study, participants (N = 1,546) reported on their drinking habits, problematic drinking behaviors, cigarette smoking, Big Five traits, and some additional health behaviors using either a Likert scale, slider, or free-response text entry format. Response format exerted little…
Attachment to groups: Relationships with group esteem, self‐esteem, and investment in ingroups
We apply a model of interpersonal attachment style to the group domain, examining how attachment to ingroups relates to self‐views, group esteem, and ingroup investment. In Study 1 ( N = 306), participants completed measures of self‐esteem, group esteem, group attachment insecurity, and investment. Study 2 ( N = 316) implemented a within‐subjects experimental design in which participants completed the same measures as in Study 1 with regard to in…
When groups do not cure: Group esteem moderates the social cure effect
Group membership enhances well‐being. In two preregistered studies, we tested the assumption that only positively viewed groups yield this “social cure” effect and explored the impact of membership in negatively viewed groups, proposing that the social cure effect is qualified by group esteem (the degree to which ingroups are valued and liked). In Study 1 ( N = 396), we manipulated social identity gain (vs. loss) and measured group esteem, and fo…
Preference for high status predicts implicit outgroup bias among children from low-status groups
Whereas members of high-status racial groups show ingroup preference when attitudes are measured implicitly, members of low-status racial groups--both adults and children--typically show no bias, potentially reflecting awareness of the ingroup's low status. We hypothesized that when status differences are especially pronounced, children from low-status groups would show an implicit outgroup bias, the strength of which might relate to attitudes to…
The dynamics of intergroup helping: The case of subtle bias against Latinos
Despite the traditional importance of Latinos in the U.S., the growing Latino population, and evidence of group-based disparities, psychological studies of discrimination against Latinos are surprisingly rare. The present research investigated the relationship between prejudice against Latinos and subtle bias, specifically the degree to which people offer autonomy-oriented relative to dependency-oriented assistance to a Latina in need. Participan…
