System justification, subjective well-being, and mental health symptoms in members of disadvantaged minority groups.

Although system justification-believing that the societal status quo is legitimate and desirable-is positively associated with subjective well-being and mental health outcomes for members of advantaged groups, the picture is more complicated for members of disadvantaged minority groups. According to system justification theory, believing that the social system is legitimate and desirable is a way of coping with one's own and fellow in-group members' state of disadvantage. At the same time, it is also a potential stressor, insofar as it implies that there are deficiencies of the individuals and groups who "fail" to succeed in a fair system.

The Double Role of Religiosity on Subjective Well-Being of Lesbians, Gays, and Bisexuals: A Moderated Mediation Model.

The aim of the present study was to propose an explanatory model on the influence of religiosity on the subjective well-being of lesbians, gays, and bisexuals (LGB), testing internalized homonegativity as a mediator variable and LGB and religious identities' integration as a moderator variable. The study included 409 cisgender Brazilian religious LGBs. The findings show that for individuals without integrated LGB and religious identities, there is both a positive direct effect of religiosity on the subjective well-being and an indirect negative effect mediated by internalized homonegativity, so that higher levels of religiosity lead to higher levels of internalized homonegativity, which, in turn, leads to a reduction of levels of subjective well-being.

Black people are convicted more for being black than for being poor: The role of social norms and cultural prejudice on biased racial judgments.

Black and poor people are more frequently convicted of committing crimes. However, the specific role played by skin color and social class in convicting a person has yet to be clarified. This article aims to elucidate this issue by proposing that belonging to a lower social class facilitates the conviction of black targets and that this phenomenon is because information about social class dissimulates racial bias.
