Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) should not be peripheral goals for organizations and educational institutions but essential components of just and effective policy. Psychological, sociological, and historical evidence highlight how Whiteness is preserved as the invisible dominant cultural norm that structures US institutions—from education to governance—to serve White interests. This system marginalizes Black Americans and other racially a…
Tolerance of homonegativity and transnegativity predicts negative evaluations of LGBT people and LGBT‐supportive policies among US‐based heterosexual, cisgender participants
Many people in the United States express anti‐LGBT attitudes and oppose LGBT rights. These views are perpetuated when others, including allies, tolerate expressions of anti‐LGBT bias. In this study, we adapted and validated a measure of tolerance of homonegativity and transnegativity (TOHT), and assessed its associations with evaluations of LGBT people, straight people, support for LGBT rights, and system‐justifying ideologies among heterosexual,…
Responding responsively
Responsive and supportive RSS predicted positive cross-race friendship outcomes, and responsive RSS, especially among same-race friends, predicted improvement in Black support-seekers' affective reactions associated with psychological well-being. Moreover, the role of seeking and providing support might be dynamic, particularly when Black friends talk about racism with other friends of color. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights res…
A measure of hypervigilance in LGBTQ-identified individuals
The relationships of belonging and task socialization to GPA and intentions to re-enroll as a function of race/ethnicity and first-generation college student status
Racial bias confrontation in the United States
Contemporary racial inequities rooted in historically biased systems (e.g., policing) have largely been confronted by those directly affected. We argue, however, that the US response to the COVID-19 pandemic created a context that led many White Americans to recognize the direct impact that systems and structures have on individuals – particularly in the case of systemic anti-Black racism. This recognition was accompanied by large-scale confronta…
Tolerance of racism
Often people who may not personally express racist beliefs nevertheless have a passive orientation to racism and tolerate racist statements and acts by others. We examine individual differences in willingness to accept racist views or acts in others, labelled tolerance of racism (TOR), in four online survey studies (total N = 2,008). We demonstrate that TOR is distinct from, although correlated with, established forms of bias, such as symbolic an…
A Mixed Method Examination of Gender Differences in Perceptions of STEM among Iranian Americans
Much of the research on gender differences in STEM pursuit has been conducted on predominantly White samples in the United States and Western Europe, where women are underrepresented in STEM. Little is known about the factors that influence STEM participation in cultures where women are overrepresented in STEM, as they are in Iran (Masood, 2006). Iranian American students ( N = 92) completed measures of cultural orientation, agentic and communal …
Global Perspectives on Women and Work
The vast majority of psychological research on gender and work focuses on WEIRD (i.e., Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, and Democratic) women, which impedes global efforts to promote gender equality and devalues the experiences of the majority of working women across the world. In this article, I first review cross‐cultural psychological research on gender and work in three general domains: stereotyping and gender roles, discrimination, h…
