“They Are the Shoulders I Stand On”: Ancestral Self-Concept Increases People of Color’s Racial Equality Activism and Intraminority Solidarity
The present research examines how the conceptualization of the self as part of one’s ancestry may enhance people of color’s activism. Two correlational studies ( N s = 593 and 160) showed that greater ancestral self-concept was associated with greater past engagement in prejudice confrontation (Study 1a) and racial equality activism (Study 1b). Follow-up experiments with Asian (Study 2; N = 220) and Black (Studies 3–4; Ns = 310 and 511) Americans…
“ Our Wars Are the Same ”: (Horizontal) Collectivism Is Associated With Lay Theory of Generalized Prejudice
The present research investigated the associations of collectivism with lay theory of generalized prejudice (LTGP) endorsement and, consequently, intraminority allyship. Study 1 recruited people from Chile, Germany, Mexico, Israel, and the United States ( N = 655) and found that higher levels of self-reported collectivism were associated with stronger LTGP endorsements. Study 2 replicated this collectivism-LTGP relationship among Chinese individu…
How Tay adolescent girls and their female carers navigate sexual and reproductive health information
Achieving equity in sexual and reproductive health (SRH) outcomes for adolescents across geography, ethnicity, and gender remains a global public health challenge. Access to accurate information is a basic and important determinant of SRH, but for many young people, social norms and expectations limit what they can access. We know little about how SRH knowledge is accessed in the Asia Pacific, a region diversely rich in culture and related norms,…
Between a prosecutor and a convicted felon? Political allegiance, abolition, and felon's rights in the context of the 2024 U.S. presidential election
U.S. Yet, following Donald Trump's 2024 convictions on 34 felony counts, Republicans questioned the legitimacy of the legal system and continued to endorse Trump as a fit presidential candidate, while Democrats praised the justice system and construed Trump as unfit for office due to his felon status. In a mixed‐method study, we examined how political allegiance and abolitionist ideology shaped perceptions of Trump's felony charges and beliefs ab…
“They are fat and want special treatment for being fat”: Backlash to and lay theories of fat activism
Fat activism is a movement that seeks to acknowledge and eliminate the oppression of fat people. The movement and those who participate face significant backlash, yet fat activism is understudied. We sought to understand lay theories about fat activism; that is, how everyday people think about the goals and motivations of fat activism, and people who engage in fat activism, to understand how these perceptions shape support for and backlash toward…
Development and validation of the Abolitionist Ideology Scale with abolitionist‐identifying and nationally representative samples
Building upon recent calls for the integration of abolition into psychology, we develop and validate a measure of Abolitionist Ideology. In two studies with abolitionist leaning ( N = 201, abolitionist‐identifying n = 58) and nationally representative ( N = 350) samples, we identify and confirm a three‐factor, 26‐item measure including subscales of Alternatives to State Violence, Revolutionary Abolitionism, and Abolitionist Identity. The Abolitio…
Seeing Beyond Whose Prejudice? Effects of Perpetrator Race on People of Color’s Willingness to Engage in Solidarity Efforts With Perpetrators of Racism
Applying the stigma-based solidarity framework in an interpersonal context, the current research examined the role of perpetrator race/ethnicity in people of color’s willingness to engage with outgroup perpetrators of racism in anti-racism solidarity. Five experiments ( N = 1,957) demonstrated that Asian, Latinx, and Black U.S. participants were more willing to discuss race, educate about ingroup-relevant racism, and work together to combat ingro…
Passing Down the Mic Signals Trustworthy Intersectional Allyship and Promotes Organizational Identity-Safety
People belonging to more privileged groups are often given the default opportunity to address oppression over multiply marginalized people, perpetuating intersectional invisibility. The present research proposes passing down the mic as a strategy to disrupt intersectional invisibility. Black women ( N total = 584; Experiments 1 and 2) perceived a White woman at an organization’s diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) meeting who passed a speaking…
White power on trial: Perceptions of antiracism organizations focusing on power versus discrimination
The present research integrates lay theories of activism and inequity-framing literatures to investigate how Black and White Americans perceive antiracism organizations with different expressed goals (i.e., tackling White power/privilege, tackling discrimination, or increasing people of color’s strengths). White Americans perceived a power-focused (vs. discrimination-focused and strength-focused) organization as less valuable, expressed less inte…
Defying carceral logics in technology-facilitated sexualized violence: Technological, legal, and intersectional progress
Technology-facilitated sexualized violence (TFSV) refers to a broad range of sexually aggressive behaviors mediated by or otherwise involving technology. The severe consequences of TFSV victimization, including victim-survivor suicidality, are particularly salient among marginalized populations (e.g. women of color) and render TFSV a source of emerging public concern. Correspondingly, an emerging literature provides recommendations for best preve…
What Are We Fighting For? Lay Theories About the Goals and Motivations of Anti-Racism Activism
I am (oppressed), therefore I see”: Multiple stigmatized identities predict belief in generalized prejudice and intraminority coalition
Integrating lay theory of generalized prejudice (LTGP) and intersectionality frameworks, the present research demonstrated that, across four samples (N = 7,121), people with a greater number of stigmatized identities (based on race/ethnicity, gender, and sexual orientation) endorsed LTGP more strongly, perceived greater similarities across marginalized groups, and ultimately indicated stronger support for intraminority coalitions (Studies 1–3) an…
Microaggressions and general health among Black and Asian Americans: The moderating role of cognitive reappraisal
Our findings highlight important differences in the types of microaggressions experienced across ethnic/racial groups, and the role of cognitive reappraisal in influencing the detrimental effects of microaggressions on general health. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)
Are you a homophobic racist?”: Applying lay theory of generalized prejudice to the discrimination-distress link
People high in LTGP may habitually expect discrimination regardless of their discriminatory experiences. By demonstrating the different pathways via which discrimination is linked with distress, this study highlights the benefit of intersectional research and underscores the need for systemic change to reduce discrimination.
