  • The Measurement of Racial Colorblindness

    Open AccessBernard E Whitley, Andrew Luttrell et al.ARTICLEPersonality and Social Psychology…2023

    Although there is consensus that the intergroup ideology of multiculturalism is negatively related to prejudice and that assimilation is positively related to prejudice, research regarding the relationship of racial colorblindness to prejudice has produced mixed results. We investigated whether these mixed results might stem from colorblindness being a multifaceted construct despite typically being treated as unidimensional. Exploratory and confi…

    This meta-analysis summarizes the results of research on the relationships of majority group members’ endorsement of assimilation, colorblindness, multiculturalism, and the relative relationships of colorblindness and multiculturalism to ethnic prejudice. Random effects analyses found that assimilation was positively related to explicit prejudice ( g . = 0.80), multiculturalism was negatively related to both explicit ( g . = −0.26) and implicit p…

  • Bullying in Graduate School: Its Nature and Effects

    Open AccessRachel H Gentry, Rachel Gentry et al.ARTICLEQualitative Report2014References: 4

    Does bullying exist in graduate school? If so, what does it look like? Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 22 graduate students from various departments at a medium-sized, Midwestern U.S. university. Grounded Theory methodology (Glaser, 1978) was utilized to gain insight into the terms and behaviors students used to define bullying in the graduate school context. Through constant comparative analysis (Stern, 1980), categories emerged t…

    Sherry A M Steenwyk, David C Atkins et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal for the…2010Cited by: 6References: 7

    The purpose of the present study was to (a) re-evaluate a model of God images based on masculine and feminine characteristics and (b) examine how God images relate to hopelessness and life satisfaction, while controlling for additional religious variables. Participants were 254 college students. A factor analysis indicated that God images did not fall into primarily masculine or feminine factors, rather into Loving, Controlling, and Permissive Go…

  • Religiosity and Attitudes Toward Lesbians and Gay Men: A Meta-Analysis

    Bernard E WhitleyARTICLEInternational Journal for the…2009Cited by: 159References: 36

    Meta-analysis was used to examine the relationships between seven forms of religiosity (fundamentalism; frequency of attendance at religious services; endorsement of Christian orthodoxy; self-ratings of religiosity; and intrinsic, extrinsic, and quest orientations) and attitudes toward lesbians and gay men. All forms of religiosity except quest and extrinsic orientation had at least small negative relationships with these attitudes. Higher quest …

  • Attitudes Toward Younger and Older Adults: An Updated Meta‐Analytic Review

    Open AccessMary E Kite, Gary D Stockdale et al.ARTICLEJournal of Social Issues2005Cited by: 97References: 6

    This meta‐analytic review of 232 effect sizes showed that, across five categories, attitudes were more negative toward older than younger adults. Perceived age differences were largest for age stereotypes and smallest for evaluations. As predicted by social role theory ( Eagly, 1987 ), effect sizes were reduced when detailed information was provided about the person being rated. The double standard of aging emerged for evaluations and behavior/be…

Study I, a meta‐analysis, found that all 4 variables were related to attitudes toward homosexuality, with RWA having the largest relationship. Study 2 examined the relationships of the 4 variables to attitudes toward lesbians and gay men in a colleg…

  • Right-wing authoritarianism, social dominance orientation, and prejudice

    Bernard E WhitleyARTICLEJournal of Personality and Social…1999Cited by: 93

    Right-wing authoritarianism and social dominance orientation have been proposed as 2 major individual-difference variables underlying prejudice. This study examined the relationships of these variables to 3 forms of prejudice-affective responses, stereotyping, and attitudes toward equality enhancement-directed at 2 social groups-African Americans and homosexuals. Canonical correlation analyses showed that social dominance orientation was related …

  • False consensus on sexual behavior among college women: Comparison of four theoretical explanations

    Bernard E WhitleyARTICLEThe Journal of Sex Research1998Cited by: 7References: 6

    False consensus refers to the tendency of people to overestimate the population prevalence of their own opinions, preferences, and behaviors. Four explanations have been proposed for this phenomenon: selective exposure to others who believe and act similarly, the salience of one's own beliefs and behaviors, logical information processing about the perceived causes of behavior, and motivation to justify nonnormative beliefs and behaviors. Female p…

  • Perceived erotic value of homosexuality and sex‐role attitudes as mediators of sex differences in heterosexual college students' attitudes toward lesbians and gay men

    Laura A Louderback, Bernard E WhitleyARTICLEThe Journal of Sex Research1997Cited by: 68References: 5

    Research on attitudes toward lesbians and gay men commonly shows that heterosexual women hold similar attitudes toward members of the two groups, whereas heterosexual men hold more negative attitudes toward gay men than toward lesbians. We tested the hypothesis that one reason for this sex difference is that heterosexual men attribute a high erotic value to lesbianism and that this erotic value ameliorates their attitudes toward lesbians. Fifty‐e…

  • Sex Differences in Attitudes Toward Homosexual Persons, Behaviors, and Civil Rights A Meta-Analysis

    Open AccessMary E Kite, Bernard E WhitleyARTICLEPersonality and Social Psychology…1996

    Meta-analytic techniques were used to compare men's and women's attitudes toward homosexual persons, homosexual behaviors, and gay people's civil rights. As expected, size of sex differences varied across these categories. Men were more negative than women toward homosexual persons and homosexual behavior, but the sexes viewed gay civil rights similarly. Men's attitudes toward homosexual persons were particularly negative when the person being ra…

  • Sex differences in attitudes toward homosexuality: A comment on Oliver and Hyde (1993)

    Bernard E Whitley, Mary E KiteARTICLEPsychological Bulletin1995Cited by: 19

    In a recent article, M. B. Oliver and J. S. Hyde (1993) reported the results of a set of meta-analyses of gender differences on a number of sexuality-related variables, including attitudes toward homosexuality. The small number of studies on this topic included in the review suggested that Oliver and Hyde's literature search strategy overlooked a number of studies. This article reports the results of a new meta-analysis using an expanded search s…
