Stressors may be exacerbated for individuals with historically marginalized social identities within the academy (e.g., female students, students from low-income backgrounds, and people of color). We predicted that female students and students of color would report more negative program experiences, and that these identities, along with financial status, would be associated with decreased intentions to pursue an academic career. In a survey of 1798 psychology doctoral students from 155 U.S. institutions, we examined students’ finances, program experiences, mental health, and intentions to remain in academia. On average, students reported feeling underpaid. Additionally, 29% of the sample reported that their stipends did not cover basic needs and 17% lacked university-issued health insurance. Female students and students of color also reported more negative program experiences and worse mental health outcomes in comparison to male and White students, respectively. In a logistic regression including all factors predicting future career intentions, we found that female students, students who did not have university-issued health insurance, and those with more negative program experiences were less likely to pursue an academic career after graduation.

While many observers were surprised by this development, a historical look at Latines’ complex and shifting political allegiances exposes motivational processes amenable to social-psychological analysis. Using two samples of U.S. Latines, we argue that their political behavior is traceable, in part, to differences in racial phenotypicality (i.e., the tendency to be perceived as “White” vs. “non-White”) and desires for individual-level power. Racial phenotypicality is theorized to influence the <i>plausibility</i>, and power motives the <i>desirability</i>, of psychological ties to the hegemonic national (i.e., American) group. Latines’ prioritization of national over ethnic identity, in turn, acts as a proximal determinant of pro-Republican political affinities. In Study 1 (<i>N</i> = 3753), greater physical resemblance to a prototypical (White, non-Hispanic) American indirectly predicted affinity for Republicans in 2020 via increased feelings of inclusion in U.S. society and prioritization of American over Latine identity.

This matters both for positive audience experience and for crowd safety. Whilst some previous studies have examined violence in music audiences, there is almost no research looking at the current phenomenon of varied forms of disruption, the psychological antecedents of disruptive behavior, and potential mitigations. We report three studies addressing these questions experientially, observationally, and statistically, with interviews (<i>n</i> = 27), an ethnographic field study at a live music festival (<i>n</i><sub>performances</sub> = 13, <i>n</i><sub>interviews</sub> = 44), and a pre-registered questionnaire survey (<i>n</i> = 2,025). Results suggest that audience perceptions of disruption are sometimes contingent upon perceived group norms. Reports of disruption can occur where there is normative misalignment between disparate groups in attendance at the same event. Audience members do attempt to regulate each other's behavior, based on expectations of support, but some interventions can themselves be disruptive. We offer recommendations to venues and event organizers on how to reduce disruptive behavior, based on social identity and group norms.

This experiment investigates how exposure to media portrayals of political violence (i.e. violent and destructive protesting) impacts political support among both real-world contexts. In Experiment 1, exposure to violent MAGA protests decreased MAGA support from MAGA's staunchest supporters, an effect mediated by perceptions of violent behavior and tendencies of the protestors. In Experiment 2, exposure to violent BLM protests had virtually no impact on political support and an inconclusive impact on perceptions of violent behavior and tendencies in the protestors. The asymmetric effects observed suggest differential baseline exposure to violent political content: MAGA supporters appear responsive to violent media portrayals because media exposure to violent MAGA behavior is relatively novel within conservative media streams, whereas BLM supporters’ relative lack of response is consistent with media saturation where BLM violence was exaggerated within the media. Consequently, underexposure to MAGA-associated violence and overexposure to BLM-associated violence may help explain recent political shifts both toward MAGA and away from BLM. More broadly, media suppression and exaggeration of political violence represent two methods for shaping political support and political power, highlighting the importance of accurate media coverage of political violence.</p>","PeriodicalId":46799,"journal":{"name":"Analyses of Social Issues and Public Policy","volume":"26 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-02-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146256441","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}

Two experiments (<i>N</i><sub>total</sub> = 716) conducted in Shanghai partially supported the hypotheses. Results showed that Shanghai residents reminded of the urban population changes (vs. irrelevant information) reported higher status and entitativity threats to their urban identity, which in turn predicted increased prejudice toward migrant workers and non-locals.
