It’s not your fault: The social costs of claiming discrimination on behalf of someone else (2012, methodology): “People who claim that their outcomes are due to discrimination are perceived negatively by others even when discrimination certainly occurred (Kaiser & Miller, 2001, 2003).”
Allies against Sexism: The Role of Men in Confronting Sexism (2014, background): “People who observe confrontations of discrimination generally attribute confrontations to the confronter’s undesirable personality traits, rather than the perpetrator’s actions, even when prejudice is blatant (Kaiser & Miller, 2001, 2003).”
A Stress and Coping Perspective on Confronting Sexism (2004, background): “Interpersonal costs. The most commonly documented barrier to confronting discrimination is interpersonal costs, such as being perceived as a troublemaker or experiencing retaliation (Bergman, Langhout, Palmieri, Cortina, & Fitzgerald, 2002; Crosby, 1993; Feagin, 1991; Feagin & Sikes, 1994; Fitzgeral”
Acting in Solidarity: Cross‐Group Contact between Disadvantaged Group Members and Advantaged Group Allies (2016, unknown): “…Chasteen, Nadolny, & Noyes, 2013; Good, Moss-Racusin, & Sanchez, 2012), and again these social costs are borne more strongly by the disadvantaged, who may be disliked for speaking up, and unlikely to be taken seriously (e.g., Kaiser & Miller, 2003; Kaiser, Hagiwara, Malahy, & Wilkins, 2009).”
Linking Perceived Unfairness to Physical Health: The Perceived Unfairness Model (2006, background): “Laboratory-based experimental studies suggest that those who are seen attributing unfairness to discrimination become the targets of further discrimination (Kaiser & Miller, 2001, 2003).”
The Numbers Don’t Speak for Themselves: Racial Disparities and the Persistence of Inequality in the Criminal Justice System (2018, background): “…examine the systemic forces involved, decontextualized information about racial inequality can lead people to engage in defensive processes that instead blame the victim (Kaiser & Miller, 2003) while protecting the self and the status quo (G. Adams et al., 2006; Lowery, Knowles & Unzueta, 2007).”
A Social Psychological Perspective on Perceiving and Reporting Discrimination (2006, background): “Further, they report they often are targeted by retaliation when they make such claims (Feagin and Sikes 1994; Fitzgerald, Swan, and Fischer 1995; Kaiser and Miller 2001, 2003; Latting 1993).”
Confronting Perpetrators of Prejudice: The Inhibitory Effects of Social Costs1 (2004, background): “As noted earlier, previous research has demonstrated that dominant group members are more likely to punish targets for confronting prejudice than for confronting offensive behavior in general (Kaiser & Miller, 2003; Shelton et al., 2003).”
