This review serves as a primer for conducting intersectionally-informed research within social psychology, using the intersection of race and gender within the United States as a case study.
Across two studies, the present work tests hair texture as one possible perceptual mechanism by which the exclusion of Black women from the category of women might occur in children.
Examining gender normative stereotypes at the intersection of sexual orientation (Study 1) and race (Study 2), we find evidence of prototypicality biases and muted gender differences between men and women of non-prototypical groups.
The present research investigates whether benevolent and hostile sexism are applied differently by Black and White U.S. Americans to Black and White women.
Using semi-auditory implicit association tests (IATs), we find that implicit representations of nigger and nigga in White and Black Project Implicit participants were decidedly negative. However, Black and Latinx youth who use these words in socially sanctioned environments showed less implicit negativity.
