How Diversity Approaches Affect Ethnic Minority and Majority Adolescents: Teacher-Student Relationship Trajectories and School Outcomes.

This study aimed to relate school diversity approaches to continuity and change in teacher-student relationships, comparing Belgian-majority (N = 1,875, M  = 14.56) and Turkish and Moroccan-minority adolescents (N = 1,445, M  = 15.07).

Elizabeth Deutsch Capaldi Phillips (1945-2017).

Presents an obituary for Elizabeth Deutsch Capaldi Phillips (1945-2017). Always known as Betty, she was an important contributor to the scientific literature and a force in higher education. Beginning as an assistant professor at Purdue University in 1969, Betty rose through the ranks and served as head of the Department of Psychological Sciences (1983-1988) and assistant dean of the Graduate School (1982-1986).

Being smart or getting smarter: Implicit theory of intelligence moderates stereotype threat and stereotype lift effects.

This research explores implicit theory of intelligence (TOI) as a moderator of stereotype activation effects on test performance for members of negatively stereotyped and of favourably stereotyped groups. In Germany, Turkish-origin migrants are stereotyped as low in verbal ability. We predicted that on a test diagnostic of verbal intelligence, endorsement of an entity TOI predicts stereotype threat effects for Turkish-origin students and stereotype lift effects for German students.

Janet Taylor Spence (1923-2015).

The long and remarkable life of Janet Taylor Spence, the sixth woman to serve as president of the American Psychological Association (APA), ended on March 16, 2015, after a short illness. Janet's 1978 book, Masculinity & Femininity, coauthored with Robert Helmreich, was a major contribution to our understanding of the complex relationships between personal attributes, self-esteem, and attitudes toward women, as well their links to both achievement motivation and parental characteristics. Janet's interest in achievement motivation was an extension of her gender work, as she attempted to learn more about the ways in which presumed differences in achievement motivation might be related to the key dimensions of instrumentality and expressiveness.

Through which looking glass? Distinct sources of public regard and self-esteem among first- and second-generation immigrants of color.

How we think other people see us has long been believed to influence how we see ourselves, a phenomenon known as reflected appraisal. Among members of ethnic minority groups and immigrant groups, however, inconsistent patterns have been found. This study examined how immigrants' views of their ethnic group and of themselves are tied the appraisals of specific others.

Born in the USA: how immigrant generation shapes meritocracy and its relation to ethnic identity and collective action.

Endorsing meritocracy can make low-status group members more accepting of inequality. This study examined whether rejecting meritocracy is related to increased ethnic identification among Latino immigrants, and whether identity in turn is related to increased support for collective action. We hypothesize that these relationships depend upon immigrant generation.

An organizing framework for collective identity: articulation and significance of multidimensionality.

The authors offer a framework for conceptualizing collective identity that aims to clarify and make distinctions among dimensions of identification that have not always been clearly articulated. Elements of collective identification included in this framework are self-categorization, evaluation, importance, attachment and sense of interdependence, social embeddedness, behavioral involvement, and content and meaning. For each element, the authors take note of different labels that have been used to identify what appear to be conceptually equivalent constructs, provide examples of studies that illustrate the concept, and suggest measurement approaches.
