Punishing "gender deviants"? Women born in the year of the white horse and college selectivity.

Belief in the Chinese zodiac, a cultural belief widely held in East Asian cultures, posits that people are fated to have different traits according to the zodiac animal attached to their birth year. As a white horse is culturally associated with masculine traits, Korean women born in the White Horse year are presumed to be argumentative, headstrong, and born with "too much" Yin energy. In this study, we analyze a nationally representative sample of Korean college graduates to examine whether and how being born in the White Horse year, thereby being chronically exposed to gender stereotype-violating stigma, affects women's higher educational attainment.

The Concealment of Health Information at the Intersection of Sexual Orientation and Race.

Sexually and racially minoritized people often have mistrust toward the healthcare system due to both perceived and actual experiences of discrimination. This may result in increased privacy concerns and a reluctance to share health-related information with health care providers. Drawing upon minority stress and an intersectionality framework, this study examines how rates of concealing health information differ between non-Hispanic White heterosexual people, non-Hispanic White lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) people, racially minoritized heterosexual people, and those who are both sexually and racially minoritized.
