Who belongs in America? Latinxs’ skin tones, perceived discrimination, and opposition to multicultural policies
Findings suggested that skin tone biases may be tied to men's engagement on border security issues and women's support for language and border policies. Therefore, colorism may be implicated in important processes that shape American politics and Latinx public opinion. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2021 APA, all rights reserved)
Social contexts and Black men’s cardiovascular health: The role of gender norms and college attendance
The relationship between endorsement of traditional masculinity with adverse physical health outcomes warrants more research scrutiny among Black men because enactment of masculine behaviors in predominantly White, educated settings has unique consequences. To better understand these relationships, the present exploratory study compared college-educated Black men with their non-college educated counterparts in cross-sectional analyses of the Nati…
Who desires in-group neighbors? Associations of skin tone biases and discrimination with Latinas’ segregation preferences
Although racial residential segregation and colorism, independently, strongly shape the lives of Latinas, previous studies rarely bridged both lines of research directly. This paper begins to fill this gap by examining within-group differences in perceived unfair treatment and preferences for housing segregation across Latinas of varying skin tones. Using the National Politics Survey ( N = 222) and the Chicago Area Study (CAS; N = 152), cross-sec…
Dark and sick, light and healthy: Black women’s complexion-based health disparities
Objective: Although research on skin tone inequalities suggest that darker-skinned Black women should experience worse health outcomes than lighter-skinned women, findings have been mixed. The present study investigates the possibility that the manner that stress and health are measured (i.e. global versus count measures) may explain the conflicting findings. Design: Black American women of different skin tones were investigated in two cross-sect…
A comparison of skin tone discrimination among African American men: 1995 And 2003
This study investigated perceptions of skin tone discrimination among adult African American men. Research suggests that through negative African American stereotypes, out-group members (Whites) perceive light-skinned African Americans favorably and dark-skinned African Americans unfavorably. However, it is unclear how treatment by in-group members (other African Americans) uniquely affects men. Using data from the 1995 Detroit Area Study and the…
What does it take to have sustained use of decision aids? A programme evaluation for the Breast Cancer Initiative
Background The Breast Cancer Initiative (BCI) was started in 2002 to disseminate breast cancer decision aids (PtDAs) to providers. Methods We analysed BCI programme data for 195 sites and determined the proportion of sites involved in each of five stages of dissemination and implementation of PtDAs. We conducted cross‐sectional mail and telephone surveys of 79 sites with the most interest in implementation. We examined barriers associated with su…
