Social Categories in Everyday Experience

Klappentext How do the social categories with which we identify, or to which others assign us, affect our psychological makeup, our social behaviors, and our life outcomes? This edited volume answers this broad social psychological inquiry through research on the social categories of gender and immigration, the ""intersectionality"" of these two social categories, and how people outside the two categories frame their conceptions of the two groups and of themselves. Zusammenfassung Explore how social identities like gender and immigration shape thoughts, behaviors, and life outcomes while examining intersectionality's role in discrimination and self-conception. Interdisciplinary research unveils coping strategies for bias in schools, workplaces, and everyday society.
