“…The 2016 presidential election was experienced as largely negative by minorities (e.g., Flitter & Kahn, 2016; Phoenix & Arora, 2018). For racial and ethnic minorities, the election brought to the surface preexisting hostile attitudes toward racial and ethnic groups, including immigrants (e.g., Flitter & Kahn, 2016).…”

The 2016 U.S. presidential election was an especially difficult election for many Americans, particularly individuals with one or more marginalized identities. This qualitative study explores the experiences of sexual minority adoptive parents (n = 50), many of whom were members of multiracial families. Parents completed an online survey 2-3 weeks after the November 2016 presidential election, and 2.5 months later (1-2 weeks after the January 2017 inauguration). Through an integrated minority stress and intersectional theory lens, we examined participants' emotional responses to this stressful, ambiguous political event, their perceptions of how immediate and extended family relationships shifted during the election and its aftermath, and how they coped with stress, including relationship stress, exacerbated by the election and the political climate. Most participants reported experiencing negative emotions such as fear/ anxiety, anger, and sadness upon learning the outcome of the election. Many participants reported that the election impacted family dynamics, including conflict with extended family, partners, or children. Adoptive sexual minority parents coped in a variety of ways, including by pursuing activism, connecting with others, and disengaging from thinking about the election. These findings have implications for how mental health care providers may support adoptive sexual minority parent families to cope with stressful political events.

“…Recent scholarship identifies how group-based emotions shape the political engagement and decision making of African Americans, revealing distinctions in the translation of emotions such as anger, enthusiasm and shame to participation in costly political actions (Banks, White, & McKenzie, 2018;Burge, 2014;Collins & Block, 2018;Phoenix & Arora, 2018;Thompson, 2017). Building on this work, I present findings from experimental and survey data that reveal racial differences in the mobilizing effects of hope on participation.…”

Drawing upon theories of group based emotion, group based efficacy and appraisal, I propose a model of racial emotion regulation to explain variations in how Black and White Americans respond emotionally and behaviorally to policy opportunity cues. I test the major claims of this model with data from an original experiment and national survey. Findings from the studies indicate that expressions of hope carry a strong and consistent mobilizing effect on the political participation of African Americans, while producing null effects on White participation. I discuss the implications of this model for our understanding of the potential of hope to shape appraisals and perceptions of efficacy among socially marginalized groups, opening up a distinct pathway through which they can be mobilized for political engagement.

“…Likewise, a handful of studies focuses on examining the role of group consciousness and linked fate within the Asian American population (Junn and Masuoka 2008;Le et al 2020;Lien et al 2004;Masuoka 2006;Phoenix and Arora 2018). Yet the effects of these variables may be less clear for Asian Americans.…”

Asian Americans’ Perception of Intergroup Commonality with Blacks and Latinos: The Roles of Group Consciousness, Ethnic Identity, and Intergroup Contact

This study explores the factors that influence Asian Americans’ perception of interracial commonality with Blacks and Latinos. Using the 2018 Civic Engagement and Political Participation of Asian Americans Survey, this research tests a model of competing theoretical explanations for Asian Americans’ intergroup commonality: group consciousness, group identity, views of discrimination, and intergroup contact. Results from ordered logistic regression analyses suggest that group consciousness, ethnic identity, and intergroup contact via friendship are robust predictors of Asian Americans’ feelings of closeness to Blacks and Latinos. However, Asian Americans’ perceptions of discrimination are unlikely to result in higher levels of the perceived commonality with outgroups. This study provides a valuable addition to the existing literature on interminority relations by identifying opportunities for Asian Americans to join cross-racial alliances. The conclusion of the article points to the important role that community-based organizations can play in bringing specific Asian American ethnic groups into such coalitions and promoting direct interactions between Asian Americans and other racial groups.
