Evidence

Contemporary research supports these ideas. For example, members of stigmatized or low status groups (e.g., African Americans, Latino Americans, women, blue-collar workers) typically report being more identified with their ingroup (i.e., say that their group is more important to them) than do members of nonstigmatized or high-status groups (e.g., Whites, men, white-collar workers) (e.g., Gurin, Miller, & Gurin, 1980). — , Rudman, Laurie A - On the Nature of…, 953
