Being singled out for special attention from the police because of your racial or ethnic identity, rather than your actions, seems profoundly inconsistent with the principle of equal treatment under the law. Yet some racial and ethnic groups, most notably African Americans, have protested what they perceive as manifestly unequal treatment from law enforcement agencies. One area of law enforceme...

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 id...

An existing measure of Deaf cultural identity, the Deaf Acculturation Scale (DAS), was used to evaluate these questions. Review of the measure's normative sample (n...

The model minority myth (MMM) has far-reaching implications for Asian Americans in many settings, including medicine. For clinicians working with first-generation American college students, this article considers 3 factors that affect how the MMM plays out clinical care: clinicians' racial identity awareness, cross-racial dynamics, and extent to which a patient internalized racism or oppression.

Yet because of their ability to maneuver among their multiple identities, multiracials also adopt flexible cognitive strategies in dealing with their social environments—demonstrating a benefit to having multiple racial identities. The current a...

Extending previous theorizing on cultural diversity’s organizational effects by integrating value-in-diversity and social identity perspectives with the framework of Blau’s (1977) theory of heterogeneity, we hypothesized curvilinear relationships between racial and gender diversity in management and firm performance. We evaluated relationships within the context of firm-level entrepreneurial or...

This paper examines the impact of racial identity on behavior in trust games played by public high school students in South Africa. There is a systematic pattern of distrust towards Black partners, even by Black proposers, partially attributable to mistaken expectations. Non-Black proposers are significantly less likely to engage in a strategic interaction at all when paired with a Black partne...
