Solidarity through shared disadvantage: Highlighting shared experiences of discrimination improves relations between stigmatized groups.
Journal of personality and social psychology, 2017Co-Authors: Clarissa Cortland, Jennifer A Richeson, Maureen A Craig, Jenessa R. Shapiro, Rebecca Neel, Noah J. GoldsteinAbstract:Intergroup relations research has largely focused on relations between members of dominant groups and members of disadvantaged groups. The small body of work examining intraMinority intergroup relations, or relations between members of different disadvantaged groups, reveals that salient experiences of ingroup discrimination promote positive relations between groups that share a dimension of identity (e.g., 2 different Racial Minority groups) and negative relations between groups that do not share a dimension of identity (e.g., a Racial Minority group and a sexual Minority group). In the present work, we propose that shared experiences of discrimination between groups that do not share an identity dimension can be used as a lever to facilitate positive intraMinority intergroup relations. Five experiments examining relations among 4 different disadvantaged groups supported this hypothesis. Both blatant (Experiments 1 and 3) and subtle (Experiments 2, 3, and 4) connections to shared experiences of discrimination, or inducing a similarity-seeking mindset in the context of discrimination faced by one's ingroup (Experiment 5), increased support for policies benefiting the outgroup (Experiments 1, 2, and 4) and reduced intergroup bias (Experiments 3, 4, and 5). Taken together, these experiments provide converging evidence that highlighting shared experiences of discrimination can improve intergroup outcomes between stigmatized groups across dimensions of social identity. Implications of these findings for intraMinority intergroup relations are discussed. (PsycINFO Database Record

on the precipice of a majority Minority america perceived status threat from the Racial demographic shift affects white americans political ideology
Psychological Science, 2014Co-Authors: Maureen A Craig, Jennifer A RichesonAbstract:The U.S. Census Bureau projects that Racial Minority groups will make up a majority of the U.S. national population in 2042, effectively creating a so-called majority-Minority nation. In four experiments, we explored how salience of such Racial demographic shifts affects White Americans’ political-party leanings and expressed political ideology. Study 1 revealed that making California’s majority-Minority shift salient led politically unaffiliated White Americans to lean more toward the Republican Party and express greater political conservatism. Studies 2, 3a, and 3b revealed that making the changing national Racial demographics salient led White Americans (regardless of political affiliation) to endorse conservative policy positions more strongly. Moreover, the results implicate group-status threat as the mechanism underlying these effects. Taken together, this work suggests that the increasing diversity of the nation may engender a widening partisan divide.

coalition or derogation how perceived discrimination influences intraMinority intergroup relations
Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 2012Co-Authors: Maureen A Craig, Jennifer A RichesonAbstract:: Five studies explored how perceived societal discrimination against one's own Racial group influences Racial Minority group members' attitudes toward other Racial minorities. Examining Black-Latino relations, Studies 1a and 1b showed that perceived discrimination toward oneself and one's own Racial group may be positively associated with expressed closeness and common fate with another Racial Minority group, especially if individuals attribute past experiences of discrimination to their Racial identity rather than to other social identities (Study 1b). In Studies 2-5, Asian American (Studies 2, 3, and 4) and Latino (Study 5) participants were primed with discrimination against their respective Racial groups (or not) and completed measures of attitudes toward Black Americans. Participants primed with Racial discrimination expressed greater positivity toward and perceived similarity with Blacks than did participants who were not primed. These results suggest, consistent with the common ingroup identity model (Gaertner & Dovidio, 2000), that salient discrimination against one's own Racial group may trigger a common "disadvantaged Racial Minority" (ingroup) identity that engenders more positive attitudes toward and feelings of closeness toward other Racial minorities.

intra Minority intergroup relations in the twenty first century
Daedalus, 2011Co-Authors: Jennifer A Richeson, Maureen A CraigAbstract:Recent projections indicate that by the year 2050, Racial minorities will comprise more than 50 percent of the U.S. population. That is, the United States is expected to become a “majority-Minority” nation. This essay adopts a social psychological approach to consider how these dramatic demographic changes may affect both Racial minorities and white Americans. Specifically, drawing from theoretical work on social identification, the essay examines the likely psychological meaning (if any) of a majority-Minority nation for Racial minorities' self-concepts and the resulting effects on their evaluations of members of other Racial Minority groups. In addition, the potential reactions of white Americans to the possibility of becoming a numerical Minority are explored. Drawing on reactions to the election of Barack Obama as the first black president of the United States, the authors conclude by discussing the implications of America's shifting Racial demographics for the U.S. Racial hierarchy.

contributions of the integrative model for the study of developmental competencies in Minority children what have we learned about adaptive culture
American Psychologist, 2018Co-Authors: Norma J Perezbrena, Deborah Rivasdrake, Russell B Toomey, Adriana J UmanataylorAbstract:The integrative model for the study of developmental competencies in Minority children (Garcia Coll et al., 1996) is considered by many to have signaled a landmark shift in conceptualizing the normative development of Minority children. Since its publication, the model has been widely used in child development scholarship to challenge deficit perspectives of ethnic-Racial Minority children and families, which were-and arguably still are-pervasive. In this article, we provide a systematic qualitative review of the research pertaining to what Garcia Coll and colleagues (1996) termed adaptive culture, which refers to "a social system defined by sets of goals, values, and attitudes that differs from the dominant culture" (p. 1896), and which on its own has been discussed in 93 studies. We conclude with a critical discussion of areas of inquiry informed by the integrative model and recommendations for future directions in theory and empirical work. (PsycINFO Database Record

a post Racial society in which ethnic Racial discrimination still exists and has significant consequences for youths adjustment
Current Directions in Psychological Science, 2016Co-Authors: Adriana J UmanataylorAbstract:Ethnic and Racial Minority youths in the United States are at risk for experiencing unfair treatment and other forms of marginalization based on their ethnic-Racial background. The current article discusses the prevalence of perceived ethnic-Racial discrimination among ethnic-Racial Minority children and adolescents in the United States, provides an overview of the potentially negative consequences of such experiences for youth, and explains how youths’ ethnic-Racial identity may protect against the negative effects of ethnic-Racial discrimination.

making a difference in science education the impact of undergraduate research programs
American Educational Research Journal, 2013Co-Authors: Kevin M Eagan, Sylvia Hurtado, Mitchell J Chang, Gina A Garcia, Felisha A Herrera, Juan C GaribayAbstract:To increase the numbers of underrepresented Racial Minority students in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), federal and private agencies have allocated significant funding to undergraduate research programs, which have been shown to increase students’ intentions of enrolling in graduate or professional school. Analyzing a longitudinal sample of 4,152 aspiring STEM majors who completed the 2004 Freshman Survey and 2008 College Senior Survey, this study utilizes multinomial hierarchical generalized linear modeling and propensity score matching techniques to examine how participation in undergraduate research affects STEM students’ intentions to enroll in STEM and non-STEM graduate and professional programs. Findings indicate that participation in an undergraduate research program significantly improved students’ probability of indicating plans to enroll in a STEM graduate program.

ETHNIC-Racial SOCIALIZATION MAPPING IN ETHNIC-Racial Minority POPULATIONS: EXPLORING THE EFFICACY OF AN INTERVENTION TO INCREASE WELL-BEING AND SECURE ETHNIC-Racial IDENTITY
DigitalCommons@University of Nebraska - Lincoln, 2020Co-Authors: Minniear MackensieAbstract:In this dissertation, I explore the benefits of developing an intervention entitled ethnic-Racial socialization mapping. Previously, researchers have developed the importance of establishing a secure ethnic-Racial identity in ethnic-Racial Minority populations, as it is tied with increased well-being. Additionally, researchers have called for interventions that highlight the role of ethnic-Racial socialization in Minority populations, as this process is connected with a secure ethnic-Racial identity. I answer these calls by reviewing current research, leading to the creation of ethnic-Racial socialization mapping as an identity intervention. In chapter 1, I explore how ethnic-Racial identity and ethnic-Racial socialization has been conceptualized, as well as why ethnic-Racial socialization mapping offers a unique, visual intervention. In chapter 2, I overview my methodology for answering my hypotheses and research questions. Using a three-group pre-test posttest experimental design, I tested the efficacy of the use of ethnic-Racial socialization mapping for improving participant secure ethnic-Racial identity and well-being. In one treatment group, participants engaged in ethnic-Racial socialization mapping. In another treatment condition, participants engaged in ethnic-Racial socialization mapping and reflected on their familial conversations about ethnicity and race. In chapter three, I overview the efficacy of the ethnic-Racial socialization intervention. I found partial support for ethnic-Racial socialization mapping as an intervention. In chapter four, I examined the ethnic-Racial socialization maps to see if there were different types of families. I developed a four-group typology of maps that indicate different dimensions of ethnic-Racial socialization. I also compared family types ethnic-Racial identity measures and well-being measures. In chapter 5, I overview discourses of ethnic-Racial socialization in participant interviews. Overall, I found five themes that characterized participant experiences. Lastly, in chapter 6, I explore the implications of these findings for future researchers, as well as how family communication can move forward using these findings. Superviser Professor Jordan E.
