• Self-esteem and multiculturalism: An examination among ethnic minority and majority groups in the Netherlands (2009, result): “The similar findings for the two types of study is consistent with research on lay theories that has found that assessing these theories by self-report provide similar findings as temporarily inducing lay theories (e.g., Haslam & Ernst, 2002; Levy et al., 2006; Plaks et al., 2000).”
• Discrimination Across the Ideological Divide (2013, background): “Also, Protestant work ethic (a measure of self-reliance) is positively related to egalitarianism when presented in abstract or definitional forms, but related to intolerance and discrimination when presented as justifications (Levy et al., 2006).”
• Lay Theories and Intergroup Relations (2006, methodology): “Yet, in this issue, Levy et al. (2006) showed that PWE appears to function differently for White Americans of different ages.”
