“…While Communism increased representation of women in the job market, it sustained gender inequality by employing them mostly in low-status jobs and increasing the burdens placed on them (Marsh 2009; Mathews et al 2005; Olson et al 2007). Enduring these burdens and sacrificing oneself for the family has been seen as a unique virtue expected from Polish women (Graff 2007).…”

“…Because of these similarities, our examination of the effects of social identity and threat on feminists’ attitudes towards victims of gender discrimination can be informative not only for the movement in Poland but also for feminists in other countries. Moreover, it has the potential to provide information about feminism in the understudied post-Communist region (notable exceptions of studies from Sex Roles include Henderson-King and Zhermer 2003, on Russia, and Mathews et al 2005, on Hungary).…”

Threats to Feminist Identity and Reactions to Gender Discrimination

The aim of this research was to examine conditions that modify feminists’ support for women as targets of gender discrimination. In an experimental study we tested a hypothesis that threatened feminist identity will lead to greater differentiation between feminists and conservative women as victims of discrimination and, in turn, a decrease in support for non-feminist victims. The study was conducted among 96 young Polish female professionals and graduate students from Gender Studies programs in Warsaw who self-identified as feminists (Mage = 22.23). Participants were presented with a case of workplace gender discrimination. Threat to feminist identity and worldview of the discrimination victim (feminist vs. conservative) were varied between research conditions. Results indicate that identity threat caused feminists to show conditional reactions to discrimination. Under identity threat, feminists perceived the situation as less discriminatory when the target held conservative views on gender relations than when the target was presented as feminist. This effect was not observed under conditions of no threat. Moreover, feminists showed an increase in compassion for the victim when she was portrayed as a feminist compared to when she was portrayed as conservative. Implications for the feminist movement are discussed.

“…All over the world, in LGBTQ nonprofit organizations and communities, one can find references to WEIRD-informed LGBTQ experience (e.g., Coming Out in Moscow; Triangle Project in South Africa, Sappho India). Research suggests, however, that the utilization of Western themes and terms, often is done through a functional process of integration with preexisting local meanings, resulting in an amalgamation or a reinforcement of indigenous experience (Mathews et al, 2005; Stella, 2015). In interviews with LGBTQ activists from 35 countries, participants described how they received inspiration and psychological support from learning about Western LGBTQ activists and movements, but rarely described the adoption of these concepts in informing the day to day strategies and directions of their activism (Horne, Maroney, et al 2020).…”

This article explores the influence of psychology developed in WEIRD (Western, educated, industrialized, rich, and democratic) contexts and its relationship to transnational lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) concerns. It covers several points associated with an LGBTQ movement forward fallacy, including the limitations of identitarian methods of analysis; presumption of visibility as a necessary aspect of LGBTQ emancipation; the centering of oppression narratives in LGBTQ international scholarship; the assumption of the relevance and desirability of WEIRD concepts; and the difficulties in applying human rights discourses to achieve LGBTQ emancipation. A transnational LGBTQ psychology that honors the authentic lives of LGBTQ people and decolonizes and dismantles context-specific homophobia/transphobia-related stigma is discussed. Finally, the promising directions of transnational LGBTQ psychology through research directions, networking, and advocacy are described. Public Significance StatementThis article suggests that there are ways that psychology, with its origins primarily in Western and industrialized countries, is thought to influence and sometimes limit how we understand lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) transnational experiences. International LGBTQ concerns are complex and often impacted by regional, political, and cultural factors, and this article discusses variations in LGBTQ rights around the world, and the ways psychology can unite globally to support LGBTQ emancipation.

“…As indicated, qualitative researchers who are humanistic at heart have had a tendency to publish their empirical work in the literature of their fields more than in the explicitly humanistic psychological literature. For example, this tendency can be seen in work of humanistic-inclined feminist researchers (e.g., Madill, 1996; Mathews, Horne, & Levitt, 2005), counseling and psychotherapy researchers (see, e.g., Rennie, 2004a), and work on recovery from schizophrenia (e.g., Davidson, 2003). Indeed, an aspect of Davidson's publication record is telling: In the aforementioned book, he cited 18 of his publications.…”

A reply is given to the charge made by the originators of the current positive psychology movement that humanistic psychology has not provided an adequate empirical base for its positive psychology. It is observed that although it is more about ontology, or the nature of being, than a scientific field as such, there is an extensive body of empirical qualitative research pertinent to humanistic psychology, including the positive psychology it originated. It is argued that the visibility of this research has been occluded, however, for two main reasons. The first is that humanistic qualitative research is often published in outlets not directly connectable to humanistic psychology. The second is that representatives of humanistic psychology have failed to take into account relevant returns from some qualitative research methods. The argument is supported by studies of the publication of qualitative research. A call is put out for broader surveys of humanistic qualitative research and for more publication of it in mainstream outlets. As well, an invitation is extended to positivistic positive psychologists to try their hands at qualitative research because of its reach into the meaning of human experience and action.
