The present study used secondary analyses of NORC national probability data to test the generalizability of the earlier findings. We found that married men and women across the nation do infact claim to like their jobs more than single people do. The quality of the marriage has little apparent effect.

Relative to White males, men and women of color and White women are more often unemployed and underemployed. When they do find employment, people of color and women are often relegated to low status, ill-paying occupations. At all occupational levels members of these groups are paid less than comparable White men.

We found that, overall, Latino students generally endorsed affirmative action and did not feel undermined by it. Of primary interest to us was variation in support for affirmative action as a function of ethnic identity. The more the Latino students identified with their ethnic group, the more they endorsed affirmative action. As a public policy, affirmative action is not universally popular among U.S. citizens (Crosby & Skedsvold & Mann, 1996). Social scientists have attempted to identify the factors that reliably predict support for or opposition to affirmative action, Understanding the predictors of attitudes toward affirmative action is a matter of both applied and conceptual interest . One factor that predicts attitudes toward affirmative action is one's group position in U.S. society. Some groups support the policy more vigorously than do other groups. Opinion polls as well as academic surveys have shown that women support affirmative action more strongly than do men (Clayton & Crosby, 1992) and that people of color almost invariably support affirmative action more strongly than do Whites in the United States (Bell, Harrison,

The research showed that individuals (or at least North American people) seek to preserve the illusion that people get what they deserve and deserve what they get; they preserve this belief in justice even when there is no material benefit to themselves. Lerner was already recognized by 1980 as the father of the nascent field that had already come to be known as "the social psychology of social justice," and so, it was natural that his book should receive a lot of attention and should foster ever-increasing amounts of research in the field. One line of justice research showed even more compellingly than the original studies that people have a need to preserve the delusion that they are being justly treated and that need can lead people into modes of behavior that are downright costly to the self in a material sense. Work on the denial of personal discrimination conducted by Susan Clayton and her coworkers occurred within this tradition (Crosby, Clayton, Hemker, & Alknsis, 1986). So, to some extent, did the work on symbolic politics that gained prominence throughout the social sciences in the 1980s and the work of system justification that is currently exciting interest . Despite strong evidence of a justice motive (also known as the "need to believe in a just world" or BJW), some researchers have continued to question its existence. Might not the apparent impulse toward justice, with its attendant justifications, derive from the human need to wrap some hard-fisted truths in pretty velvet gloves? Might not BJW be just a socially acceptable expression of base self-interest, distinguishable in form-but not in substance-from other,

We agree that it is a mistake to justify affirmative action solely in terms of diversity, and we think it is vital to note the continuing disparities in the educational opportunities afforded to White students and to other students. We believe that the views expressed by Renner and Moore present an opportunity to think critically about a number of issues related to affirmative action. Renner and Moore ( ) have written a provocative and timely article. In terms of both specific points of information and general conceptualizations, the article by Renner and Moore should help scholars and activists who wish to continue the fight for social justice generally and for racial parity in particular. In clear and succinct language, they describe a problem that confronts American society. They show, furthermore, how important it is-for economic and demographic reasons as well as for reasons of justice-to address this problem. In work that we have done, together and separately, over the last 15 years or so, we have presented theory and research that ally us to scholars like Renner and Moore. We have conducted empirical research that documents the need for affirmative action (e.g., and that helps to explicate people's reactions to affirmative action (e.g.

Data from a community survey of 405 women and men are presented to elucidate the strengths and weaknesses of the various explanations. The methodology improves upon previous research by separating gender from confounding factors and by examining the relationship between depression and emotional experiences at home and at work. Results (1) show that when gender, occupational prestige, and adult roles are disentangled, the gender difference in depression disappears: and (2) offer strongest support for a "paucity of roles" explanation, suggesting that a lack of multi ple outlets for pleasure and support leads to symptoms of depression. Women may have traditionally been reported to have higher rates of depression because, in the past, they have typically been limited to one role that of housewife. The potential benefits, for both women and men, of functioning within multiple roles are discussed. Time anci again, systematic studies have found that women suffer from depression more often and more severely than do men. Researchers have consistently reported gender differences in both psychiatric and community samples (Dohrenwend & Dohrenwend, 1975; Radloff, 1975). Furthermore, the gender difference has not seemed to be limited to any one class or culture (Weissman & Klerman, 1977).

But in most cases, the women appeared to imagine—quite erroneously—that they personally avoided sex discrimination. After documenting the basic phenomenon, the article discusses cognitive and emotional barriers to the acknowledgment of personal discrimination. Ways to surmount the barriers are discussed.

One of her central premises is that, although girls are better educated for peace than boys, “training girls in the values of caring, sharing, and love for humankind does not help the world very much as long as girls and women remain universally oppressed (p. ix). This overview sets the stage for discussions of women’s involvement in peace activities, the nature of peace education, the relationships between science, higher education, and peace research, and, finally, the role of feminism in the disarmament movement. Rrock-Utne eventually reiterates the point she makes early in the text about girls being better educated for peace than boys, stating that this knowledge can be used to educate for peace by educating all for cooperating, caring, sharing, and solving conflict by nonviolent means. She states, however, that this education is not sufficient to make societies peace-oriented as long as societies extol competition and dominance. She adds that educating for peace must involve a commitment to a system that encourages and rewards sharing and nurturing instead of competition. A frequent reprise is the theme that the feminist concern for equality of rights leads ineluctably to concerns about structural violence, militarism and other threats to peace. Conversely, the author argues repeatedly that even if women are initially concerned exclusively with combatting war, such a concern over time will lead them to the recognition that peace is unattainable as long as women’s rights are suppressed. The author chides feminists for being annoyed that some women peace activists have not called themselves “feminists”. As long as women become politically active on any issue, she asserts, they will usually end up being feminist. The author devotes an inspiring chapter to describing major peace activities in various countries that were initiated and organized by women. She makes a persuasive case that historians and reporters have consistently under-reported and ignored the contribution of women to promoting peace. She cited the writer and pacifist Bertha von Suttner as an example. Von Suttner’s 1889 anti-war novel was a best-seller that went through 31 German editions and countless more editions in other languages. Her novel and her continuing campaign against militarism made her a household name in Europe. Yet when current history books discuss peace activities in her day, they mention names of contemporaries such as Alfred Nobel and Leo Tolstoy but
