Ethnic identification in response to perceived discrimination protects well-being and promotes activism: A longitudinal study of Latino college students (2012, background): “Although group members may be motivated to avoid perceiving unfair events to be the result of discrimination (Schmitt & Branscombe, 2002), when perceptions of discrimination do occur they are associated with increased activism (Simon et al., 1998; Wright & Tropp, 2002).”
Tackling Educational Inequalities with Social Psychology: Identities, Contexts, and Interventions (2020, background): “However, those adopting this approach must be cautious; attributing underperformance to pervasive and continuing discrimination and prejudice can be particularly harmful (Schmitt & Branscombe, 2002).”
Support for Multiculturalism and Minority Rights: The Role of National Identification and Out-group Threat (2009, background): “Further, survey research among racial and ethnic minority groups shows that increased perceptions of discrimination predicts increased in-group identification (Schmitt & Branscombe, 2002; Verkuyten & Yildiz, 2007).”
Social Identity, Health and Well-Being: An Emerging Agenda for Applied Psychology (2009, background): “…identity underpins the capacity for members of disadvantaged groups to work together to buffer themselves from the negative consequences of their circumstances (Blaine & Crocker, 1995; Branscombe et al., 1999; James, Lovato, & Khoo, 1994; Schmitt & Branscombe, 2002; Postmes & Branscombe, 2002).”
The social psychology of stigma. (2005, background): “…are likely to respond in dramatically different ways to being the target of negative stereotypes and/or discrimination, even though the immediate situation seems the same (Branscombe 1998, Inzlicht & Ben-Zeev 2000, Schmitt & Branscombe 2002, Schmitt et al. 2002, Sekaquaptewa & Thompson 2002).”
Community identity as resource and context: A mixed method investigation of coping and collective action in a disadvantaged community (2013, background): “These resources include a) social support, b) perceptions of collective efficacy, and c) the means to effect collective action (Haslam & Reicher, 2006; Reicher & Haslam, 2006; Outten, Schmitt, Garcia & Branscombe, 2009; Schmitt & Branscombe, 2002).”
Multicultural recognition and ethnic minority rights: A social identity perspective (2006, unknown): “The model has received quite some empirical support, including from studies that have examined self-esteem among racial and ethnic minority groups (see Schmitt & Branscombe, 2002).”
`They Don't Like Our Kind': Consequences of Being Ostracized While Possessing a Group Membership (2009, methodology): “This is somewhat puzzling, because previous research would suggest that individuals might make attributions for why they were ostracized based on their group membership (e.g. Crocker & Major, 1989; Major et al., 2002; Schmitt & Branscombe, 2002a, 2002b).”
Intragroup and Intergroup Evaluation Effects on Group Behavior (2002, background): “Such devaluation of the ingroup by an outgroup has been linked with greater group consciousness and collective responses to intergroup threat in a variety of devalued social groups (Schmitt & Branscombe, 2002).”
Ethnic discrimination and global self-worth in early adolescents: The mediating role of ethnic self-esteem (2006, background): “For example, feelings of ethnic group belonging and connection may compensate for, or buffer against, the rejection involved in prejudice and discrimination (e.g., Cross, 1991; Schmitt & Branscombe, 2002; Sellers et al., 1998).”
A Longitudinal Study of Social Status, Perceived Discrimination, and Physical and Emotional Health Among Older Adults (2012, background): “Despite the utility of perceived discrimination for research on health effects, the requirement of awareness implies potential for a discrepancy between the effect of an action and the comprehension of that action (Schmitt & Branscombe, 2002).”
Reactions to Discrimination, Stigmatization, Ostracism, and Other Forms of Interpersonal Rejection (2009, unknown): “Schmitt and Branscombe (2002) described processes by which group identification protects the well-being of disadvantaged (and chronically rejected) groups.”
