Intersectionality in Quantitative Psychological Research (2016, background): “Scholars remain equivocal as to whether intersectionality constitutes a research/analytic approach (e.g., Cole, 2009) or framework (e.g., Settles, 2006), a theory or hypothesis (e.g., O’Brien, Blodorn, Adams, Garcia, & Hammer, 2015; Walby, Armstrong, & Strid, 2012), or some combination of these…”
The Influences of Perceived Identity Compatibility and Social Support on Women in Nontraditional Fields During the College Transition (2011, methodology): “…social support among a racially and ethnically diverse sample of women in order to examine variability among women’s experiences and thus more fully address the challenges of disadvantaged and underrepresented groups in STEM (see Blackwell et al., 2009; Settles, 2004, 2006; Settles et al., 2009).”
What If Psychology Took Intersectionality Seriously? Changing How Psychologists Think About Participants (2019, background): “…of individuals in their own words, they can provide especially rich insight into the dynamic nature of identity, social location, multidimensional lived realities, and power-relevant social processes, such as experiences of discrimination (e.g., Marecek, Fine, & Kidder, 1997; Settles, 2006).”
The Roles of Perceived Identity Compatibility and Social Support for Women in a Single-Sex STEM Program at a Co-educational University (2011, background): “Given the importance of examining possible racial and ethnic differences in women’s experiences in STEM (e.g., Settles 2006; Settles et al. 2009) and exploring the generalizability of results, we also conducted analyses exploring whether race/ethnicity predicted sense of belonging in one’s major or…”
Intersectionality and research in psychology. (2009, background): “Silverstein (2006) found that among the publications dealing with either gender or race indexed in PsycINFO between 2002 and 2004, only a minority investigated both constructs, perhaps because psychologists generally aim to simplify models for parsimony, either by omitting variables or by statistica”
Past, Present and Future Research on Multiple Identities: Toward an Intrapersonal Network Approach (2014, background): “However, some intersectional research directly examines the subjective aspect, investigating how more than one identity is constructed and experienced (Adib & Guerrier, 2003; Bell & Nkomo, 2003; Essers & Benschop, 2007; Settles, 2006).”
Stress and Mental Health (2015, background): “Intersectional theory posits that multiple social identities work together to influence how we see ourselves and how others see and treat us (Coles, 2009; Collins, 2000; Crenshaw, 1994; Settles, 2006).”
Intersectionality in Quantitative Psychological Research (2016, background): “…(e.g., Bowleg, Teti, Malebranche, & Tschann, 2013; Calasanti, Pietilä, Ojala, & King, 2013; Diamond & Butterworth, 2008; Hurtado & Sinha, 2008; Settles, 2006; Tolhurst et al., 2012), yet few applications in quantitative methods exist, and those that do are typically not framed as…”
Prototypes of race and gender: The invisibility of Black women (2010, background): “From this perspective, Black women are assumed to be worse off than White women and Black men because they are subject to both racism and sexism (Epstein, 1973; Reid & Comas-Diaz, 1990; Settles, 2006).”
Gender: An Intersectionality Perspective (2008, positive): “There is growing interest in employing the intersectionality perspective to transform and advance empirically based research in psychology and allied disciplines, especially through using conventional empirical strategies in innovative ways to investigate intersectionality (e.g., Settles 2006).”
“I Had To Be Strong” (2016, background): “Although African American women share racial group membership with African American men and gender group membership with European American women, African American women’s experiences are differentially shaped by the intersections of race, gender, and socioeconomic status (Combahee River Collective, ”
More Than the Sum of Its Parts: A Transformative Theory of Biculturalism (2017, background): “Importantly, these discrimination experiences arise out of how two identities are combined rather than the direct influence of each, as each social identity moderates the experiences of the other social identity in an inextricable way (Settles, 2006).”
Comparing Sexual Harassment Subtypes Among Black and White Women by Military Rank: Double Jeopardy, the Jezebel, and the Cult of True Womanhood (2008, background): “Such representations may cause others to view Black women in a sexualized manner (Bell, 2004; Collins, 2000; Settles, 2006; West, 2004).”
African, Asian, Latina/o, and European Americans’ Responses to Popular Measures of Sexist Beliefs (2013, background): “In further support of this theory of intersectionality, Settles (2006) found that African American women placed equal importance on their race and gender identities.”
