- When Group Identities Intersect: Group Identification, Discrimination and Threat
Dr. Joseph D. Wellman, Associate Professor of Psychology & Director of Experimental Training, University of Mississippi
This talk presents findings from several lines of research examining how discrimination and threat shape group identification among individuals with intersecting identities. Three studies investigate how experiences of COVID-19 discrimination influence Asian Americans’ national and ethnic identification. Another study explores how the source of discrimination affects gay Black men’s identification with their sexual and racial groups. Finally, two studies examine how masculinity threat influences gay men’s identification with their gender and sexual identity groups. Together, these projects demonstrate how analyzing group identification across intersecting identities advances our understanding of identity processes and their social consequences.
Faculty hosts: Clara Wilkins & Cynthia Levine
