“…The GSS, an annual nationwide survey, is drawn from the population of noninstitutionalized English-speaking adults 18 years or older in the U.S. Previous research reveals that the interactions between race, fundamentalism, region, and gender attitudes are complex and require detailed attention (Kane 1992;Moore 1999;Ransford & Miller 1983;Rice & Coates 1995). Given this study's focus on the contextual effects of fundamentalism on gender attitudes, we are not able to give the race interaction issues adequate attention.…”

“…Insights gleaned from this approach have more recently been applied to the study of other groups such as Asian-American women (Lien 1994), Asian-American sexual minorities (Chung amd Katayama 1998), African-American sexual minorities (Bowleg et al 2003;Carbado 2000a), Latino immigrant women (Salgado de Synder et al 1990), and NativeAmerican lesbians (Witt 1981). Other models claim that a person's class status inextricably defines their race and gender and thus must be included in double jeopardy scholarship (Jeffries and Ransford 1980;Ransford and Miller 1983;see also Carbado 2002;McLeod and Owens 2004 for intersectionality and class). Despite their differences in modeling the nature of intersectional oppression, both the additive and interactive models of double jeopardy predict that people with multiple subordinate identities will be subjected to more prejudice and discrimination than those with a single subordinate identity.…”

Intersectional Invisibility: The Distinctive Advantages and Disadvantages of Multiple Subordinate-Group Identities

2008

The hypothesis that possessing multiple subordinate-group identities renders a person "invisible" relative to those with a single subordinate-group identity is developed. We propose that androcentric, ethnocentric, and heterocentric ideologies will cause people who have multiple subordinategroup identities to be defined as non-prototypical members of their respective identity groups. Because people with multiple subordinate-group identities (e.g., ethnic minority woman) do not fit the prototypes of their respective identity groups (e.g., ethnic minorities, women), they will experience what we have termed "intersectional invisibility." In this article, our model of intersectional invisibility is developed and evidence from historical narratives, cultural representations, interest-group politics, and anti-discrimination legal frameworks is used to illustrate its utility. Implications for social psychological theory and research are discussed.If the most violent punishments of men consisted of floggings and mutilations, women were flogged and mutilated, as well as raped. (Davis 1981, p. 7) Without in any way underplaying the enormous problems that poor African American women face, I want to suggest that the burdens of African American men have always been oppressive, dispiriting, demoralizing, and soul-killing, whereas those of women have always been at least partly generative, empowering, and humanizing. (Patterson 1995 pp. 62-3)

“…For example, other sociological research has found few racial differences in gender role attitudes (Kluegal and Smith 1986;Wilke 1993); however, when items are combined into scales reflecting employmentbased attitudes, African Americans have sometimes been found to be more egalitarian than Whites (Bielby and Bielby 1984;Blee and Tickamyer 1995). Even so, on other aspects of gender role attitudes (i.e., family roles or leadership) African Americans, especially African American men, have been shown to be more traditional than Whites (Blee and Tickamyer 1995;Ransford and Miller 1983). All told, although African Americans may be more gender egalitarian than Whites in some arenas, results from past studies are not so definitive that we would expect wholesale group differences in individuation patterns for women and men based on ethnic differences in attitudes toward women.…”

Interethnic Differences (or Similarities?) in the Relative Individuation of Women and Men

What roles do ethnicity, gender, and attitudes play in determining whether a person will be perceived as a unique individual versus a homogenized group member? Attitudes toward women's roles have been found to predict Whites' relative individuation of women and men; however, African Americans were found to individuate women and men equally, regardless of attitude . Using a name-trait matching paradigm, the present research found that when targets were identified as African American, African American participants' (18 male and 35 female college students) attitudes toward women's roles predicted their individuation of men and women. These results suggest that an ethnic out-group homogeneity effect, rather than gender-egalitarian attitudes, contributed to the previous finding of equivalent individuation.
