Question #1
MICHAEL HUGHES and STEVEN A. TUCH，Dec 20013, Gender Differences in Whites ' Racial altitudes:Are Women 's Attitudes Really More Favorable?, at Source: Social Psychology Quarterly, Vol. 66, No. 4, Special Issue: Race, Racism, and Discrimination, pp. 384-401.
Question #2
The theory which is tested in this journal is whether women 's racial attitudes are much more positive than men 's.
In this article there are multiple theoretical perspectives. I feel social role theory is one of the most important theoretical perspectives used in this article.
In the social role theory it s said that people’s actions can be understood in terms of different expectations society imposes on members in patterned …show more content…
Question #3
In this article the hypothesis tested is “expect gender differences in racial attitudes to be small and inconsistent.”(Hughes and Tuch, 2003, p387)
Moreover, the gender is the independent variable, racial attitudes are the dependent variable in this article.
In this journal article the major finding suggests that women’s care and concern for others is only one of a number of factors that might explain the small gender differences in racial attitudes.
Question #4
I feel here have enough data collected in the study seem sufficient for answering the research question. “We use the 1988-2000 General Social Surveys(GSS) and the 1988,1990,1992,and 1994 American National Election Studies (ANES) to examine gender differences in racial affect. We combine several years from each data set to ensure sample sizes large enough to sustain our analyses. As described below, the use of two data sets provides the opportunity to test the association between gender and racial attitudes with multiple measures of the empathy orientation that presumably underlies this relationship.”(Hughes and Tuch, 2003, …show more content…
Group processes focus on how individuals interact in groups. Power and justice are the two of predominant orienting frameworks in the group processes. In another way, black people is a group, white people is another group. Therefore, black people want to join in to the white people group to get higher social status and more job opportunities for higher wages, however white people resist black people to join in because the racial problems and the reason for decreasing rivals. That makes white people have the racial attitudes for black people. Maybe, when black people’s group becomes stronger enough, white people want to join in their group. There will be black people’ racial attitude for white
