Stay Healthy for Your (Our) Community
Many communications during the pandemic emphasized COVID-19’s disproportionate impact on Black Americans. Articles highlighting such racial health disparities can act as a form of health information targeting , which can be threatening when aimed at marginalized identities. In Study 1, Black participants indicated a greater level of anger and distrust when reading a targeted article from a White male doctor, focusing on racial health disparities …
Considering the role of allyship in healthcare
The majority of the article will be dedicated to explaining (a) strategies that clinicians use that more (vs. less) effectively convey allyship during clinical encounters, (b) interventions implemented at the practice level that can effectively signal allyship, as well as the limitations of these approaches, and (c) policies established by national medical organizations and governmental agencies to dismantle disparity‐producing practices. Therefo…
You May Be an Ally, But Can I Trust You? Exploring the Consequences of Source and Message Cultural Targeting Among Black Women
Black women experience unique stressors and mental health challenges that intensified during the COVID-19 pandemic, raising critical questions such as who acts as a trustworthy therapist for Black women and what messaging is most effective for encouraging self-care and therapy. Four experiments with Black U.S. women ( N = 1,961) aimed to answer these questions. Receiving messages from Black (vs. White) sources/therapists led to consistently posit…
We Are (Not) All in This Together
Black women feel connected to leaders whom they view as having shared adversity. Examining this phenomenon in the U.S. during the COVID‐19 pandemic, Study 1 found that when a Black (but not White) female leader expressed her personal struggles, Black women participants identified with her, viewed her as having a shared reality about the pandemic, and anticipated more identity‐safety in her company. Participants with relatively higher awareness of…
Examining the Context and Content of Organizational Solidarity Statements on Black Americans’ Expectations of Identity Safety
Despite the increasing use of organizational solidarity statements following instances of social injustice, little-to-no research has examined whether these statements signal inclusion for minoritized groups. The present work investigates how different types of solidarity statements affect Black Americans’ sense of identity safety and assesses mechanisms underlying their responses. Across three online experiments, Black Americans recruited from P…
Understanding the Benefits and Drawbacks of Harnessing Identity‐Targeted Interventions in Health Contexts
Persistent health disparities within the U.S. indicate that members of minoritized groups experience disproportionately worse physical and mental health outcomes than their majority counterparts. One proposed approach to mitigate these disparities is employing identity‐targeted interventions —interventions that are subtly or more explicitly directed toward a particular social group and aim to encourage healthcare engagement and increase feelings …
Signaling Allyship Via Ears
Low-quality patient-provider interactions contribute to and further exacerbate Black women's poor maternal health outcomes. Perceiving one's provider as an ally, or someone that acknowledges and addresses racial inequities can potentially transform the quality of patient-provider encounters; yet little research has investigated how to effectively convey racial allyship among Black women. In the present investigation we examined the utility of a n…
Signaling safety and fostering fairness
Exposure to an organizational diversity cue may help attract Black women to professional spaces. The cue transfer framework contends that because intergroup attitudes co-occur, both cues congruent or incongruent with one's minoritized identity signal an environment that welcomes all minoritized persons. Critically, the utility of such cues had yet to be explored among Black women. Integrating cue transfer with social identity complexity theory, a…
Black (patients') lives matter
Two online experiments investigated whether hypothetical physicians' use of an identity-safety cue acknowledging systemic injustice (a Black Lives Matter pin) improves Black Americans' evaluations of the physician and feelings of identity-safety. Across studies, findings showed that when a White physician employed the identity-safety cue, Black Americans reported stronger perceptions of physician allyship and increased identity-safety (e.g. trust…
Inspiring visibility
We explored whether a Black female politician would alleviate feelings of invisibility among Black women even when they believed the politician deviated from the ingroup prototype by not supporting ingroup interests or by being low in ingroup solidarity. Study 1 demonstrated that relative to Black men and White men and women, Black women identified the most with Vice-President Kamala Harris and reported feeling the highest invisibility in politic…
Ally endorsement
Many science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) domains are White-male-dominated; yet, investigations exploring how White men scientists can counter women’s underrepresentation are lacking. We examined whether exposure to a White male scientist endorsed as an ally by a gender ingroup member (i.e., an allyship cue) encouraged identity-safety and positive STEM beliefs among White female students. Relative to a White male scientist without an…

An ally you say? Endorsing White women as allies to encourage perceptions of allyship and organizational identity-safety among Black women
Black women often question their belonging in organizational environments, and exposure to an allyship cue, such as a White woman endorsed as an ally, may help mitigate such concerns. We examine whether ally endorsement can help a White female employee cue allyship, and in turn, serve as an effective organizational identity-safety cue for Black women high in stigma consciousness. We found that, relative to viewing a White female employee, Black w…
Maybe He Is Relatable Too
Successful exemplars can act as guides to help women navigate environments where they have traditionally been underrepresented. For an exemplar to be a guide, it is important for women to feel similar to the exemplar. When women identify with an exemplar, that person also can become a role model to promote belonging. Because men are overrepresented in many STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) fields, we aimed to understand whe…

Exploring Identity-Safety Cues and Allyship Among Black Women Students in STEM Environments
Black women are underrepresented in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) and report feeling unwelcome in STEM. A successful scientist exemplar or role model may signal to Black women they are valued in STEM environments. We investigated who acts as an identity-safety cue for Black women. In Study 1, Black women students who learned about a Black man or a Black woman professor in a hypothetical School of Science and Engineering report…
Who encourages Latina women to feel a sense of identity-safety in STEM environments
Maybe She Is Relatable
In the current research, we explored whether informing women about gender bias in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) would enhance their identification with a female scientist and whether this increased identification would in turn protect women from any adverse effects of gender bias information. We found that, relative to a control information condition, gender bias information promoted beliefs that a successful woman (but…

Just say no! (and mean it)
The present research compared the effectiveness of meaningful negation—“That’s wrong”—and simple negation—“No”—to alter automatic prejudice. Participants were trained to negate prejudice-consistent or prejudice-inconsistent information, using either simple or meaningful negation, and completed an evaluative priming measure of racial prejudice before and after training. No significant changes in automatic prejudice in the simple negation condition…
