![]() ![]() Black women and Black men also were considered to be more similar to each other than to White women or White men. The typical woman was considered to be much more similar to a typical White woman than a typical Black woman. The clustering of the responses showed how Black women were viewed in relation to the other groups. Then other groups were asked about a combination of race and gender (Black women, Black men, White women, and White men). Some participants were asked about stereotypical attributes just for men and women or for Black people or White people. Participants were told that their responses were not an admission that they believed these stereotypes so they would answer honestly. The study was conducted online with more than 1,000 participants from the United States who were asked whether 41 positive or negative stereotypical attributes (such as hostile, sexually promiscuous, or determined) were associated with different races or genders. The research was published online in the APA journal Translational Issues in Psychological Science. “This ‘intersectional invisibility’ means that movements that are supposed to help Black women may be contributing to their marginalization.” “Black women are often overlooked in people’s conversations about racism and sexism even though they face a unique combination of both of these forms of discrimination simultaneously,” said lead researcher Stewart Coles, a PhD candidate at the University of Michigan’s Department of Communication and Media. WASHINGTON – Black women are often less likely to be associated with the concept of a “typical woman” and are viewed as more similar to Black men than to White women, which may lead to some antiracist and feminist movements failing to advocate for the rights of Black women, according to new research published by the American Psychological Association.
