Across two experimental studies with Black Americans (<i>n</i> = 272), and Asian Americans (<i>n</i> = 279), we examined how environmental ISCs and confrontations jointly shape perceptions of Identity Threat and Ally Sincerity using a 2 (ISC: Present, Absent) × 2 (Confrontation: Present, Absent) between-subjects design. Results revealed that while ISCs can reduce Identity Threat and increase Ally Sincerity, prejudice confrontations are more consistent and effective. Additionally, there is no evidence for a backlash effect whereby having an ISC without a confrontation is worse than doing nothing. Results suggest US racial minorities value confrontations and environmental ISCs, highlighting the importance of using both high- and low-cost prejudice reduction strategies.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":17008,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Social Issues","volume":"82 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2026-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148024216","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using both qualitative and quantitative measures, we assessed how women of color, men of color, White women, and White men US undergraduate students perceived their institution's real, on-the-ground efforts to increase diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). We assessed the specific diversity initiatives undergraduates recalled and how effective they perceived those efforts to be. We also linked these perceptions to students’ feelings of identity safety (i.e., belonging, authenticity, and fit) and their beliefs about their institution's genuine commitment to diversity.

Grzanka","doi":"10.1111/josi.70050","DOIUrl":"10.1111/josi.70050","url":null,"abstract":"<p>Five years before the U.S. Supreme Court's landmark <i>Dobbs</i> decision, reproductive justice scholar-activist Loretta Ross used the term “Americanized fascism” to describe right-wing social movements that promote totalitarianism, the systematic erosion of civil rights, and the consolidation of a patriarchal White ethno-state. Her warning about the mainstreaming of White supremacy and aligned political projects seems obvious in retrospect now that abortion is illegal or severely restricted in most U.S. states, teaching and scholarship about anti-Blackness and racism is regularly banned or policed, and a barrage of legislation has emboldened discrimination against LGBTQ+ people, and especially transgender individuals, across registers of social and civic life. Yet much public or “mainstream” discourse and even activism about the rise of fascism fails to account for the coalitions of violence that have profoundly undermined civil rights in the United States. In this essay, I explore how single-axis logics that obscure the intersectional dimensions of fascism remain dominant in American institutions, including psychology. Despite persistent handwringing about how best to use intersectionality responsibly in psychological science, fixation on the methodological challenge of intersectionality averts attention from a far more intimidating question about how psychologists will respond to Americanized fascism today and in a deeply precarious future. If psychological science is to contribute meaningfully to social transformation and social justice, we must confront our chronic unwillingness to use tools we have readily available to disarm fascism and its techniques of structural violence.</p>","PeriodicalId":17008,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Social Issues","volume":"82 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2026-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://spssi.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/josi.70050","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147684245","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In our special issue, we tried to nurture the often-neglected intersectional roots of the neurodiversity movement by amplifying perspectives of multiply marginalized Neurodivergent people. However, nonspeaking people remain underrepresented in our special issue. Therefore, we assembled people with diverse connections to the autism constellation, including nonspeaking and minimally speaking people and people from the Global South, to write this concluding piece. Together, we generated neurodiversity-affirming policies and organized them according to these themes arising from articles in our special issue: justice, representation, and systems change. To foster justice, we call for full access to individualized, holistic communication supports, cross-disability alliances, and decolonial approaches. To improve representation, we recommend melding Universal Design, Open Scholarship, and indigenous frameworks to support Neurodivergent representation in all aspects of research and advocacy, particularly leadership. To promote systems change, we call for accessible multimodal resources and valid assessments. Across all themes we stress tech equity, transparency, and community oversight. Accessible and detailed summaries of our policy recommendations that administrators, editors, clinicians, educators, researchers, and advocates can adopt now to make inclusion the default are provided in tables (please share widely).

Under the presidency of Jair Bolsonaro, Brazil offered a geopolitical context in which these historical legacies were reactivated through three motivated social psychological processes—right-wing authoritarianism (RWA), social dominance orientation (SDO), and generalized system justification (GSJ). These processes likely fueled a reactionary backlash against egalitarian policies and an embrace of far-right ideology. The Brazilian context therefore provides a valuable opportunity to test, for the first time, the full mediational model of political ideology as motivated social cognition (MSC), while examining previously unexplored ways in which these psychological processes are shaped by historically entrenched social structures. We hypothesized and found in an online survey of Brazilian adults in August 2022 (<i>N</i> = 1481) that RWA, SDO, and GSJ mediated the associations between epistemic motives (e.g., dogmatism, need for cognition), existential motives (e.g., perceptions of a dangerous world, death anxiety), and relational motives (e.g., national identification, conformity), on one hand, and left-right ideological preferences, on the other. We also hypothesized and found that historical, macro-level indicators of structural enslavement and White privilege dating back to the 19th century moderated several of the micro-level mediational pathways specified by the theory of motivated social cognition. To our knowledge, these findings are among the first to demonstrate that longstanding historical legacies of domination and exploitation contribute to the maintenance of right-wing conservatism, illustrating that ideological preferences are not only psychologically motivated but also deeply embedded within much broader geopolitical structures.</p>","PeriodicalId":17008,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Social Issues","volume":"81 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2025-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://spssi.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/josi.70048","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145887767","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using survey and behavioral data from Palestinians (<i>N</i> = 386) in the West Bank, I investigate the effects of exposure to Israeli violence. Findings directly challenge deterrence-based assumptions: violence exposure was associated with stronger, not weaker, collective commitment, including endorsement of sacred values and willingness to engage in collective action. The results also adjudicate the psychological pathway. Exposure to violence was associated with greater ingroup warmth and generosity, but was not associated with outgroup hostility. The association between violence and collective commitment was consistently explained via ingroup warmth, not outgroup hostility. Findings challenge dominant narratives by showing that oppression strengthens rather than weakens commitment, and suggest that this commitment is sustained not by outgroup hostility, but by ingroup love.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":17008,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Social Issues","volume":"81 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2025-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145887890","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
