We also explored related cognitive/affective processes by collecting information regarding participants’ social identities (e.g., race, class, gender), experiences (e.g., activism participation), depression symptoms, and beliefs (e.g., political cynicism, social justice orientation). Participating Democrats were gathered via social media ads (N = 106, 80.2% white, 42.5% cis-female). We found that those likely to devalue reward (measured via fear of happiness (FHS; Joshanloo, 2013)) reported having been less likely to vote for Biden-Harris but more likely to vote for Harris-Walz, ΔR2 = .03, F(1, 102) = 7.58, 𝛽 = –.030, SE = .011, t = -2.75, p = .007. We also found that FHS was positively associated with likelihood of voting third-party before Biden stepped down, rho = .243, p = .012. We discuss unpredicted findings and exploratory analyses. Overall, these findings suggest reward devaluation offers a promising avenue for future research to explore how aversions to positivity can shape democratic participation.","PeriodicalId":46799,"journal":{"name":"Analyses of Social Issues and Public Policy","volume":"26 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2026-08-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148752869","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the context of migration, this challenge is often exacerbated by counterproductive emotional dynamics, such as the perception of threats from the host society towards immigrants, which can hinder the development of supportive and empowering relationships. The present research examined whether an interdependence mindset—the perception that immigrants and members of the receiving society are mutually reliant and benefit from each other's contributions—promotes autonomy-oriented helping (but not dependency-oriented helping). Across two experiments conducted in the United States (total N = 801), perceiving immigrants as positively contributing to society was consistently associated with greater autonomy-oriented helping. In Study 2, we experimentally examined whether interdependence framing would sustain autonomy-oriented helping when system threat was made salient in the context of a real-world education policy. Although the overall interaction between threat and framing condition did not reach conventional levels of statistical significance, additional analyses indicated that allocations to the education fund was lower in the threat vs the control condition within the independence condition, whereas allocations in the interdependence condition were statistically comparable across threat contexts. These findings suggest that interdependence framing may help sustain autonomy-oriented helping in contexts where threat narratives are salient. Results are discussed in terms of communication strategies and their practical implications.","PeriodicalId":46799,"journal":{"name":"Analyses of Social Issues and Public Policy","volume":"26 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2026-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/asap.70082","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148467062","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Turner","doi":"10.1111/asap.70080","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1111/asap.70080","url":null,"abstract":"Social and political activities take many forms with some efforts centered on the promotion of social justice. Critical consciousness underlies many social justice efforts. Critical consciousness refers to the perception of social and economic inequities and engagement in actions to reduce inequities. Diemer's model of critical consciousness suggests that critical reflection, efficacy, and critical action are interrelated. Additionally, researchers have demonstrated that experiencing discrimination is an important predictor of critical action. The goal of the current study was to examine predictors of critical action and determine if these predictors differed for Black and White students. College students reported critical reflection (perceptions of inequality), internal (personal) efficacy, external (government responsiveness to people) efficacy, discrimination, and critical action. For the Black students (n = 165), critical action was positively predicted by discrimination and external efficacy. For the White students (n = 418), critical action was positively predicted by discrimination and critical reflection. To further elucidate these findings, participants were asked to describe why they chose to either work to reduce injustice or why they chose not to get involved. The themes for students that reported they work to reduce injustice centered on values. They stressed the importance of fairness and justice, they reported a sense of responsibility to help others and to make the world better. Even when experiencing discrimination, they reported a desire to protect others from similar experiences. Themes from participants who do not get involved focused on the self. Students reported the desire to avoid conflict, fearing repercussions, lacking interest, and lacking resources. These findings demonstrate the diversity in predictors of critical action among college students. Efforts to support emerging adults social/political engagement may need to be refined to fit the participants being addressed.","PeriodicalId":46799,"journal":{"name":"Analyses of Social Issues and Public Policy","volume":"26 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148237454","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This research examines how perceived economic inequality is associated with tolerance of gender-based violence through status anxiety and sexualization processes. Across three studies involving Italian heterosexual women, results showed that higher levels of perceived economic inequality, combined with a low socioeconomic status, were associated with increased status anxiety, self-sexualization, and enjoyment of sexualization. These psychological factors, in turn, predicted greater tolerance of gender-based violence, particularly in terms of minimizing male behavior. Study 1 (N = 300) provided correlational evidence of these relationships. Through an experimental design, Study 2 (N = 218) confirmed the role of perceived inequality and low socioeconomic status in reinforcing these dynamics. Study 3 (N = 211) replicated the effect of inequality and status on attitudes toward gender-based violence using an implicit measure. By revealing the psychological mechanisms linking perceived economic inequality and socioeconomic position to violence acceptance, this research underscores the urgency of addressing economic disparities to drive social change and highlights potentially harmful adaptive strategies that women may adopt in response to unequal social and economic contexts.","PeriodicalId":46799,"journal":{"name":"Analyses of Social Issues and Public Policy","volume":"26 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/asap.70079","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148174228","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We investigate how different pride flags influence perceptions of allyship and identity-safety in STEM environments. In Study 1, LGBTQIA+ identifying STEM employees viewed an STEM workplace with a manager that displayed an inclusive pride flag, a straight ally flag, or no flag and reported their impressions of the manager and anticipated identity-safety at the organization. Study 2 replicated and extended Study 1 in a non-STEM sample of LGBTQIA+ individuals. Results indicated that both inclusive pride flags and straight ally flags signal allyship; however, the straight ally flag was both associated with perceptions that the manager wished to show humility toward the LGBTQIA+ community and also distance themself from the LGBTQIA+ community. We discuss how differing perceptions due to displaying the straight ally flag or the inclusive pride flag may impact LGBTQIA+ individuals’ belonging in STEM.","PeriodicalId":46799,"journal":{"name":"Analyses of Social Issues and Public Policy","volume":"26 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/asap.70076","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148174229","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The current study conducted an intersectional, subgroup analysis by ethnicity of women's experiences with gender-based everyday discrimination and the associations with their reported mental health, emotional problems, and physical health. Social support was examined as a possible moderator of the associations. Analyses included 45,638 women of diverse identities in the All of Us Research Program. Experience with gender-based discrimination was associated with poorer mental and physical health and more emotional problems for women of all races/ethnicities. Increased social support was associated with better mental and physical health. Furthermore, social support moderated the association between gender-based discrimination and health for Black women's mental health and emotional problems and for Hispanic women's mental and physical health. This suggests that social support buffers gender-based discrimination for women who identify as Black and Hispanic.

We investigated whether a representational identity safety cue could mitigate experiences of threat and stigma, and prompt feelings of belonging. In two preregistered studies with fat women samples (N = 1512), we manipulated physician demographics to examine the function of physician concordance as an identity safety cue. Target physicians varied on gender (woman, man) and body size (fat, thin); Study 2 incorporated an additional factor of physician race (Black, White). We examined how these physician characteristics shaped outcomes, including anticipated weight stigma, belonging, and anxiety. Fat doctors consistently elicited less anticipated weight stigma than thin doctors, suggesting that doctor body size can serve as an identity safety cue for fat patients. Gender, however, appeared to be a more salient safety cue than body size, with fat women consistently reporting greater identity-safety expectations from women doctors relative to men doctors. Black physicians, relative to White physicians, elicited more favorable expectations of belonging, comfort, anxiety, warmth, and competence—though did not elicit decreased weight stigma concerns. Overall, physician diversity in body size, gender, and race strengthened belonging and decreased weight stigma concerns.","PeriodicalId":46799,"journal":{"name":"Analyses of Social Issues and Public Policy","volume":"26 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/asap.70077","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148166984","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
