We use Critical Race Theory (CRT) to frame the historical context of racism in the U.S. and the emergence of racist ideologies. We examine the extent to which White privilege awareness mediates the relationship between CBRI and antiracist practices among White people. We found that (1) participants’ antiracist practices were increased the more they rejected power-evasive forms of CBRI, (2) people who were more aware of their White privilege were also more driven toward antiracist practices, and (3) respondents’ awareness of their White privilege was enhanced as they rejected power evasive forms of CBRI. We also found that White people were more likely to participate in antiracist practices when they rejected power evasion CBRI partly because rejecting CBRI enhanced their awareness of White privilege. Our results suggest that the fight against racism requires White people to acknowledge and dismantle the privileges that come with being a member of a dominant group. We contend that CRT is a powerful framework for psychology because it helps resolve the problem of understanding how structural phenomena become ideologies that shape the way people believe and behave.</p>","PeriodicalId":17008,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Social Issues","volume":"80 2","pages":"651-669"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139758678","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}

Compared to the general population, extremists referred more often to values of security, conformity, tradition, universalism, and power, and less often to values of benevolence, stimulation, and achievement. In extremist manifestos, ingroup descriptions referred more to security and universalism values, whereas power values dominated outgroup descriptions. Non-extremists referred to the same values in conjunction with “us” and “them” (benevolence and self-direction). The values that extremists referenced suggest interpersonal detachment and a clear delineation of value narratives around “us” and “them”.</p>","PeriodicalId":17008,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Social Issues","volume":"79 4","pages":"1440-1455"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2023-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://spssi.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/josi.12593","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135197614","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}

Due to these concerns and the need to examine them from a scientific perspective, we announced a call for empirical and theoretical investigations into how women around the world were experiencing this time of disaster. We were especially interested in investigations that provided information that afforded intersectionality analyses; that is, those that recognized overlapping socially-constructed systems of oppression such as patriarchy, white supremacy, and classism and how they impact the structures, institutions, agencies, and policies that change women's lives. We received an overwhelming response to our call from scholars around the world whose empirical and theoretical works focused on women's lives during the height of the global COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in a two-installment Special Issue on how the COVID-19 pandemic magnified existing gender inequities.

These abrupt changes impacted women in particular, shifting how families navigated roles. Even pre-pandemic, US women were responsible for the majority of household labor and childcare, and daughters bore greater chore responsibility than sons. We surveyed 280 families early in the pandemic (Spring 2020) and another 199 families more than a year later (Summer 2021) about pre-pandemic versus current work-family conflict (WFC), division of labor and schooling, and children's daily activities. Early on, mothers reported increased WFC (especially family impacting work), mothers assumed primary responsibility for children's education at home, and daughters spent more time doing chores and educating siblings. One year in, WFC remained high but mother's stress was lower, parents reported working less from home, and children largely returned to face-to-face schooling. Yet, children, especially daughters, actually spent more time caring for siblings than early in the pandemic, though less time on chores overall. We conclude that policies that support families such as paid family leave and subsidized childcare are needed to right the gender inequalities exacerbated by the pandemic.</p>","PeriodicalId":17008,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Social Issues","volume":"79 3","pages":"971-996"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2023-07-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48247207","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}

In this issue, authors use empirical, review, and policy implication work to demonstrate how women, particularly those with other minoritized intersecting identities, were impacted by COVID-19. The authors of this special issue examine the impacts of COVID-19 on women's physical, emotional, and reproductive health, along with issues of safety.

Hogg's SPSSI Kurt Lewin Award Address","authors":"Dominic Abrams","doi":"10.1111/josi.12583","DOIUrl":"10.1111/josi.12583","url":null,"abstract":"&lt;p&gt;It is a great pleasure to write this introduction to Michael Hogg's Kurt Lewin Award address. I first met Michael Hogg (Mike) in 1983 at the University of Bristol where he had just completed his PhD supervised by John Turner, and where Mike and I were appointed as assistant professors responsible for the whole social psychology program. We were temporary substitutes for Turner (who had moved to Australia) and Howard Giles, who had moved to California. We became great friends and lifelong collaborators. In 1985 Mike moved to a postdoc with Turner at Macquarie University in Sydney, and subsequently an associate professorship at the University of Melbourne in 1986 and then on to the University of Queensland, from 1991. There he founded the Centre for Research on Group Processes. After a period as visiting professor at Princeton University from 1997 to 1998, and an Australian Research Council Professorial Fellow at Queensland from 2004 to 2006, he moved to Claremont Graduate University in Los Angeles where he directs the prestigious social identity research laboratory.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Mike's phenomenal research output has earned him fellowships and recognition from all of the major professional societies in his field. These include his election as a fellow of the Academy of the Social Sciences in Australia (1991), the Society for the Psychological Study of Social Issues (SPSSI, 2003); the Society of Personality and Social Psychology (SPSP, 2009); the Society of Experimental Social Psychology (SESP, 2009); and the Association for Psychological Science (2010). He served as council member of the Society of Experimental Social Psychology in 2012, and was then elected its president in 2013, a rare example of a non-North American holding that position. His achievements have also been recognized through the 2020 &lt;i&gt;Distinguished Lifetime Career Award&lt;/i&gt; from the International Society for Self and Identity, the 2021 SPSP &lt;i&gt;Campbell Award&lt;/i&gt; for distinguished achievement and sustained excellence, and, celebrated here, the 2022 SPSSI &lt;i&gt;Kurt Lewin Award&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As one of the most direct descendants of the Tajfel/Billig/Turner/Giles group, Mike has been a central figure in bringing social identity theory to international prominence. His early work with Turner provided one of the cornerstones of self-categorization theory, establishing both the empirical foundations and communicating the details of the theory. But most importantly it is his subsequent work to connect and engage with researchers in other parts of the discipline, by inviting contributions to edited collections, arranging conferences and seminars, and engaging with their interests so energetically, that enabled the social identity perspective to shift from being a niche European theory to a central and mainstream part of social psychology. In fact it is hard to envisage any current social psychological work on intergroup relations or group processes in social psychology that does not invoke social i","PeriodicalId":17008,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Social Issues","volume":"79 2","pages":"822-824"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2023-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/josi.12583","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45539080","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}

This article overviews <i>uncertainty-identity theory</i>’s analysis of the motivational role played by self-uncertainty in group identification and group/intergroup behavior, and focuses on how self-uncertainty can motivate zealous identification with “extremist” groups and identities. People need a clear sense of who they are to understand the world and their place within it, and to plan action and anticipate others’ behavior. They strive to reduce self-uncertainty, and can achieve this by identifying with distinctive groups that have unambiguously defined social identities. Tumultuous social change can create identity threat, self-uncertainty, and alienation from and marginalization in society. To reduce self-uncertainty people zealously identify with ethnocentric, populist and xenophobic groups that are intolerant of dissent and have autocratic leaders—effectively building identity silos and walls between hyper-polarized groups. Under these circumstances breaking down walls to reconcile polarized and hostile groups and identities is a challenge.

Before Goffman's influential book only a handful of papers used the term in the abstract or title of a paper—in 2020 there were 3464. While the reason for stigma's dramatic growth is likely over determined two possibilities are suggested. The first is the usefulness that the concept carries for understanding the shame, social awkwardness, rejection, misunderstanding, and exclusion that people frequently experience across so many stigmatizing circumstances. The second is that the complexity of the stigma experience provides an enormous number of research puzzles in need of investigation as there are so many different stigmatizing circumstances that are affected at multiple levels across multiple outcomes. The current special issue addresses this complexity by focusing on the particularly important domain of social relationships but at the same allows complexity in the types of stigmatizing circumstances considered and the levels at which they are investigated.
