Questions related to Ethnicity
Throughout history, homosexuality has been cause for rejection and discrimination, and those who had this sexual condition were labeled and stigmatized socially, prejuzgados, imprisoned and treated as criminals, being victims of assault, torture and murder. For a long time this condition has been considered even an unnatural aberration and mental illness in different psychiatric diagnostic manuals. Currently in Spain, despite the existence of laws allowing homosexuals to marry and adopt children to form a family, as well as the recognition of their civil rights, remain a social group that suffers from social exclusion and suffer the scourge of homophobia, rejection and violence of those who regard them as different or sick. Perhaps that is the reason why either time to integrate to homosexuality as a plot more than the specialized social services, to combat the situation of social exclusion, and develop the resources and means to combat it.
¿Por qué la homosexualidad no es un colectivo que se incluya dentro del ámbito de los Servicios Sociales Especializados?
A lo largo de la historia la homosexualidad ha sido motivo de rechazo y discriminación, y aquellos que tenían esta condición sexual eran etiquetados y estigmatizados socialmente, prejuzgados, encarcelados y tratados como a delincuentes, siendo víctimas de agresiones, tortura y asesinato. Durante mucho tiempo esta condición ha sido considerada incluso como una aberración antinatural y una enfermedad mental en diversos manuales de diagnóstico psiquiátrico. Actualmente en España, pese a la existencia de leyes que permiten a los homosexuales a poder contraer matrimonio y adoptar hijos para formar una familia, así como al reconocimiento de sus derechos civiles, siguen siendo un colectivo social que sufre exclusión social y padece el azote de la homofobia, el rechazo y la violencia de aquellos que los consideran como diferentes o enfermos. Quizás por ello ya sea hora de integrar a la homosexualidad como una parcela más de los Servicios Sociales Especializados, para poder combatir la situación de exclusión social que sufren, y desarrollar los recursos y medios necesarios para combatirlo.
Does anyone have any advice on conducting mixed method reviews on experiences of public stigma across ethnic groups? What are the guidelines for conducting research on racialised ethnic categories? How do you address the inconsistencies relating to the labelling and classification of ethnic groups for qualitative or quantitative comparisons?
Comments, ideas and readings much appreciated!
Independent variables are gender (male, female, other), Class (low, middle, high), Age, (18-25, 26-30, 31-35, 36+), and Ethnicity (African American, Caucasian, Asian American, Latinx, other).
Dependent variables are intrinsic motivations (self-improvement, independence, personal interest) and extrinsic motivations (Money, family, and social).
Dear Colleagues,
How many people in the USA who speak two or more languages represent ethnic minorities? I am looking for numbers and sources to cite.
Thank you!

I got set of data that includes:
Gender: categorical (classified as IV in jasp)
Ethnicity: categorical (classified as IV in jasp)
Congruent: continuous data (classified as DV in jasp)
Incongruent: continuous data (classified as DV in jasp)
I have been asked the following questions:
Is there a significant interaction between ethnicity and implicit association?
I am struggling to choose the correct test; I am trying ANOVA but actually I don’t know what I should measure to answer the question!
Is it the interaction between Ethnicity and gender? What about congruency data?
Dear fellow researchers,
I am planning to conduct a research related to Ethnic Diversity composition in schools (e.g. ethnic diversity composition per classroom). Could you please share with me a questionnaire or instrument or the formula for measuring Ethnic Diversity Composition? So I can categorize the Ethnic Diversity Composition into high Ethnic Diversity and low Ethnic Diversity (e.g. 1 for high and 0 for low).
Best,
Edita
Dear Researchers,
Preliminary data of various studies showed the proportion of the population from Black (in New York), Asian (UK) and other minority ethnic backgrounds and people from low income are highly deprived with COVID-19. These groups reported higher COVID-19 mortality rates irrespective of population density. Furthermore, most of these minority groups are aged 50-79. Since the epidemic started, several studies have confirmed these findings. It is interesting to discuss the reasons behind these adverse outcomes and also share your experience about COVID-19.
Dear colleagues,
the research literature on EFL materials and gender/ethnicity/class typically holds this (key) assumption: Representations (i.e., descriptions, images, ...) of gender, ethnicity, or social class in EFL textbooks or other EFL materials ought to influence the students' perception (or beliefs, evaluation, or assessment) of gender, ethnicity, and social class in the way in which it has been represented in the EFL materials. In this fashion, biased representations ought to impact students negatively, while redesigning EFL materials towards less biased depictions might lead to positive changes in student beliefs.
My question would be: Are you familiar with any research that has investigated this assumption in an experimental or other empirical setup? In other words, could you point out research with empirical evidence that shows how these representations of gender/ethnicity/class have had an impact on students' beliefs?
Any hints to articles or other research would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance!
Dear all,
We are working on a project looking at linguistic expressions of empathy (e.g., I'm sorry you are struggling with that issue) by students of different ethnic groups. Does anyone know of research that looks at expressions of empathy across groups? Here is a fabricated example, African American female medical students use more explicit empathy statements than other students.
thanks,
I have searched some of the top ranking nationalism studies journals (Nations and nationalism, SEN -Studies of ethnicity and nationalism, Nationalism and ethnic politics, Ethnicities, Ethnopolitics) and couldn't find any article even touching the complex relationship between nationalism and climate change.
I have only found a small number of mostly circumstantial (casual) mentions of climate change according to the following distribution:
Nations and Nationalism: 8 mentions (including a roundtable, book reviews and an introductory piece written by me).
SEN: 3 mentions (one political theory article, two case studies)
Nationalism and Ethnic Politics: 3 mentions (all case studies) Ethnicities: 2 mentions (2 theoretical articles)
Studies in Ethnicity and Nationalism: 2 mentions (including a 2009 article)
Even more worryingly, I have found no mentions of the geo-historical concept of Anthropocene, nor any of its more controversial derivates (Capitalocene, Occidentalocene, Consumerocene, and so on), despite the fact that these have been introduced and debated in nearly all the social sciences.
Where i get information about bilingual advocacy for ethnic minority elders? Especially the funding aspect?
There is evidently a salient role and corresponding impact of ethnic and religious identities on Nigerian politics, but discussion of the subject matter in the literature seems sparse. Can anyone suggest articles, journal publications or books that address the above?
Hi. I am trying to publish in Ethnicity and Health journal. The "instructions to author" does not specify whether the word limit includes tables ( my tables are nearly 700 words). There is also no email address to correspond with them. Do journal article word limits usually include tables? Thank you
The learning of the mother tongue language is deemed important in Singapore as a means of transmitting one's culture and values.
There are times when I think that articles are rejected or comments are too mean based on ethnicity and just being female.

It is well-established that a person having self-confidence and grit will tend to have educational success, as well as long-term success in life. It has also been shown by Ruben O. Martinez and Richard L. Dukes that "The greater the ethnic identity, the higher the self-esteem, purpose in life and self-confidence." in their article titled "The Effects of Ethnic Identity, Ethnicity, and Gender on Adolescent Well-Being."
So it would seem that, aside from grit, retaining one's ethnic identity will help a lot towards being a productive contributor to society.
What is genocide? A quick search gives the following definition: the deliberate killing of a large group of people, especially those of a particular ethnic group or nation.
Now, in this scenario, there's no actual killing. However, it has long been understood that race is not a biologically valid trait. We are all one species and there hasn't been time for actual biologically valid separations from groups to evolve. So, what differentiates one group of people from another is culture.
If a group of people are required to give up their cultural heritage, then that ethnicity is gone. Obviously this is a fairly charged question, but I think the RG community is up to answering it honestly and rationally.
For the sociologists and anthropologists again:
We all know that gossip can be very destructive to relationships at home and at work, yet it persists and even flourishes.
Accusations without evidence are thrown around with abandon, in the shadows, destroying people's credibility and lives. The victim is usually denied a right of reply. The principle used is: 'if enough people whisper it, then it must be true'
But is there any positive social value to gossip? eg: early alert of bad people in one's environment?
Is gossip a stealth weapon in our social environment?
Should we have a social sanction for people who spread gossip and what should the punishment be?
I have performed a case-control analysis and want to construct haplotypes from the genotype data. Is it possible to do it in R? Any R packages available for that? I have the following data columns "identifier", "Trait", "SNP1", "SNP2", "SNP3", "Sex", "Ethnicity".
Kindly help.
I am interested in knowing why many older people are abused or deceived economically by ignorance or vulnerability.
Many vulnerable elderly people are deceived by their own families in order to obtain an economic benefit.
In addition they can also suffer physical violence by relatives or carers for the simple fact of being defenseless before the physical or verbal aggressions of the same ones.
Just curious if there was a certain population you were using in your study? Rural vs city, poverty stricken vs. middle class vs wealthy? Ethnicity, religiosity? As a Sociologist, and soon to be M.A. LPC, I find this study fascinating.
Hi, I am new to MR analysis. I need to perform a two-sample MR, because my exposure and outcome variables were measured from two different datasets. My reading is that both two populations cannot be biased. Both of my populations are Caucasians in ethnicity, is this enough to satisfy the conditions?
I am really confused from reading in another paper
This study measured GWAS and EWAS both from a large population, they used a test named causal inference test. To my knowledge MR is also a causal inference test, I want to know if this is just a type of MR?
If I have a much smaller sample size, can I use the CIT as mentioned in this paper?

Is there any anthropological research addressing the question: Why may many of the female workers be aversive to their female co-workers but may have a strong preference for male co-workers in the workplace in the North America or elsewhere? Can anyone direct me relevant references or research materials?
Is someone currently carrying out research on the franchise in catering market? Italy, Spain, German?
I would like you to contribute from a sociological perspective your vision of this period that influenced so much in Spain.
People with disabilities have sexual needs that can not be met normally. In addition, families maintain their sexuality as a taboo subject. I would like to investigate people with disabilities who access prostitution, how are the relationships, what specific needs they have ... I do not find much information about it. Thanks.
I have some objects and I must make a group of some objects with known characteristics for each cluster before the analysis..
In class I study about cluster analysis but the characteristic of each cluster is known after it.
For example there are 20 students, and I want to make a group of some 'best' students , with characteristics : high GPA, tall, etc...
Thanks before..
The rise of nationalism and antiglobalism coincide. But what causes what? Is it the rise of nationalism that should be blamed for globalization's reversal - or the effects of globalism that explain the rise of nationalism?
i have a project ethnics conflicts and ecowas regional integration process ,what s the best theorique approch to beging this progect.
I have stratified my results according to Ethnicity (south asians and Europeans), Gender (Male and female) and Age (4 different age groups). So I have a Beta value (from regression) for South Asian/European male/female in a particular age group. I want to carry out a meta analysis of these non overlapping strata. i have been reading around meta-analysis of non-overlapping strata The Mantel-Haenszel Formula, But I understand that I have multiple strata and the formula is not suitable here.
Can any one suggest any possible method for combining the results across different strata please?
Thank you

I'm thinking specifically about Thai ethnic minorities but other particularly rural groups are of interest to me too.
The neologism ethnogenesis has been in use since the nineteenth century but became a regular feature of archaeological work after 1945 in Russia. There it was used to describe a very slow process (thousands of years) by which people of different 'race' and linguistic groups acquired a stable sense of self.
In more recent anthropological and theoretically inclined archaeology it has become something a code-word to indicate a belief that ethnic identities are rapidly, and self-consciously, reformulated on a a routine and regular basis.
I am aware of quite a literature on this bu wondered what people thought the best accounts of it were...
Fearon and Alesina et al. analysed these concepts and constructed some indices on these subjects. However, none of the values of the indices are not up to date now. I need more recent data. Thanks for your responses...
I'm working in some medical reseaches and we'd like to analyse some variables considering ethnia, but we need a validated scale. Is there something already in use?
Patient satisfaction scores are combined into 3 categories: 0-5, 6-8, and 9-10. Looking into if logistic regression can be run when the data is stratified by race/ethnicity and what would be the best way to go about it. (What would this achieve?) Frequencies and percentages have already been calculated. Thank you!
I am looking for any information for my bachalor thesis about Hutsuls in Ukraine and in Romania.
If I could find answers to my questions there, it would be great. My questions are:
1) Are Hutsuls regarded as a subgroup of Ruthenian or perceived as an separate ethnic group?
2) What are the common elements of a Ruthenian (Ukrainian, Romanian) culture with a Hutsuls culture, what are the main differences?
3) What are the main Hutsuls traditions and what assists (prevents) in their maintenance?
4) How do these traditions transmitted to future generations?
I am doing a comparative research on US and EU on the making and marketing of latinas identities.
I'm looking forward a french adaptation of the civic vs. ethnic identity content (see Rothi, Lyons and Chryssochoou, 2005 for a British one), does anyone have some articles to recommend ?
I need the origin of the word Ethnic.
Also require clear understanding of Ethnicity, Ethnic Identity.
How culture differs from ethnicity?
I'm working on the effects of derogatory ethnic labels on the expression of prejudice and it's really difficult to find a racism (or prejudice) scale which don't refers to specific countries laws.
I'd like to find one that can be adapted in France and that is not too much old-fashioned.
If anyone knows one, it would really help me to save time.
I am currently working on the semantics of deictic and anaphoric particles in bunong ( Phnong/ Mnong) a ethnic language spoken in the cambodian province of mondulkiri. So I am looking for articles on general description of deictis and anaphorics , but also recent descriptions of such units in little studied languages .
Student course evaluations do not usually ask for the student's ethnicity (cultural group with which student identifies e.g., African American). But, if they don't, chances are that the aggregate (sum of the different sources of data) data on course evaluations could mean course improvements in favor of the majority group. What are your thoughts?
Many thanks,
Debra
I am planning to conduct 4 focus groups for my study in London. As you know London is multi-culture city and I need to have all ethnic groups that representing the community in London in my study and I have limited time.
Hi everyone, I wanted to know how these variables affect people's willingness to seek help, primarily focusing on how students and people in general experience depressive symptoms/depression go about seeking the necessary help, if so.
Research shows that anticipation and fear of others stigmatising responses are very ordinary in people with depression; they internalise the stigmatising view perceived (Barney, Griffiths, Christensen and Jorm, 2010).
Chinese Americans with depressive symptoms 34.9% preferred seeking family and friends help following only 30.2% reporting no interest in face of mental health predicaments (Leung, Cheung, & Tsui, 2012)
Research shows that younger people within the black Afro/Caribbean minority are less likely to seek help from professionals.
The discipline of anthropology has taken much of its credit to the field data from Africa. That's, the row material for anthropological theories, and by extension, its evolutionary development, has been derived, in large measure, from African realities.
The question, however, is "Has there been any noticeable African anthropological theory or tradition as apat the continent being the data mine of the discipline, at least in its formative years?"
This question should in no anyway suggest that Africa/is was the only place where anthropological fieldwork was done given the fact Australia, Latin America and Asia have also been similar field schools.

I've found many sources that suggest racial & ethnic minorities under utilize mental health services, but I've found no recent statistical evidence. The last study I found reported on youth ages 16- 25 and was based on a 1997 survey. Any information or leads is appreciated.
I am currently working on 'ethnic/migrant entrepreneurship, ethnocultural diversity and innovation in cities'.
Within the process of the transformation of ethnic neighbourhoods into places of leisure, tourism and consumption (for example, Aytar and Rath, 2012; Hiebert, Rath and Vertovec, 2015; Rath, 2007), the commodification of ethnocultural diversity by ethnic/migrant entrepreneurs, amongst others, is crucial. However, I found no references on how such a diversity commodification takes part in the transformation of the - whole - city.
Thus, I would infer that the transformation of ethnic neighbourhoods is actually - a kind of "proxy" of - the transformation of the city itself. What you do think? Is that the only way ethnic/migrant entrepreneurship may contribute to the transformation of the city?
Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
How can a teacher be able to get international students engaged in a class if they are a minority, especially if the course is deeply on a culture completely different from theirs? Has anybody tackled the relationship between teaching and anthropology?
My proposed dissertation topic is "the low percentage of minority professors on the faculties of AACSB-accredited, doctoral degree-granting, U.S. business schools." I can find qualitative research articles on this topic, but can't locate recent (2009-2015) quantitative research articles. Your assistance is greatly appreciated. I have contacted the NCU reference library, but without success.
The answer to this question is key to better understand the cancer risk associated with some germline polymorphisms and its relation to race and ethnicity.
I am working on ethnic tourism, my sample area belong to one ethnic group. They have their own religion, but almost 60% of them converted to Islam during last century. Due to change in religion, it creates some difference among them. I was thinking that I can compare both religion in one ethnic group, Is that possible? or they will be considered as two ethnic groups? Need your kind suggestions
I am doing a research that requires this information.
In case of Pakistan, there are factions of society which demand that the government should negotiate with the terrorists and militant groups. To what extent it can be useful in your opinion?
In Pakistan, different ethnic identities live and normally have grievances against each other. Almost all the ethnic identities take pride in their respective cultures, especially language e.g., Pashtunes, Baluchis, Sindhis, etc. But Punjabis, which comprise biggest ethnic identity in the country, normally do now take pride in speaking their native language. They either use Urdu or English to interact with each other. They do not normally let their children speak Punjabi. Parents speak Punjabi with each other but speak Urdu with their kids.
What theories explain this phenomenon? One explanation is that when a community feels itself politically and economically deprived, it strives to claim a 'nationality' rather than an ethnic identity, and therefore, focuses on the native language - a characteristic of a nation. Sometimes dialects of the same language are claimed as separate language because of the political and economic differences between people speaking these dialects.
Other than that what theories can explain this phenomenon?
There are many kind of policies , Laws , Rights , Acts which are created to reduce and even eradicate Ethnic conflict and Ethnic problems in a country where there are a multicultural group living all together. But how the country helped in stabilising this peace and harmony for people to live together and prevent this Racial and Ethnic tensions among them ?
Dear colleagues,
I've been looking a long time for a source who can give me trustworthy information regarding to haplogroup frequencies of human populations, especially national populations or ethnic/native groups.
Because I'm not directly involved in genetic research, I am dependent on existing data sets. Until now, I used the data set from the McDonald Group of the Illinois School of Chemical Sciences.
Unfortunately, this source is somewhat inaccurate to read and a large number of nations or ethnicities lacking. Own research brought a lot of conflicting and strongly divergent outcomes.
Thanks in advance, David Becker.
I am doing research on migrants' social mobility in labour market and educational-occupational mismatch in migrants' population. Some of my respondents attain social mobility in labour market by using their "ethnic knowledge" e.g. mother tongue, cultural knowledge of their country of origin, ethnic social networks etc. Can anyone recommend literature, research on that?
Thank you very much in advance.
Burma has adopted a Constitution in 2008, which features fake federal system. It has a long history of ethnic conflict between majority Burman and many other ethnic minority groups. The political system under the current Constitution is 2008 semi-presidentialism (literally, it is not correct to say).
It appears that most people used the PAQ-C, but the validity differed by race (Moore et al. 2007, Pediatric Exercise Science). Any other ideas or experiences would help.
My dissertation (ongoing) is on a psychological profile of tribes in violent conflict in the Sahara/Sahel. Specifically, I'm interested in exploring (in part) cognitive imprinting on developing cultures based on extremes of geography, geology and climates of deserts, mountain habitats that are threatened with encroachment, war, desertification and the like, and one example of what I am interested in is the Ek tribe in northern Uganda.
I’m writing a research project on Tangible Cultural Expressions (TCEs), in particular on the social, economic and political issues posed by their production, use, commercialisation, and status as intellectual property. TCE include a broad range of folk art, including wood carving, baskets, textiles and folk costumes. The proposed research, taking as axiomatic the importance of material culture in shaping and expressing ethnicity, focuses on the processes through which some objects but not others become markers of ethnic distinction, and through which some of those objects become embroiled in controversies over intellectual property rights.
Much of the research to date on the conversion of cultural expressions into intellectual property has been largely theoretical, based on secondary ethnographies, and concerned primarily with the theoretical, ethical, and practical implications of commodification of the historical past or of intangible cultural heritage. Of the few studies based on observation and real-world data (e.g. Thuen 2004; Eriksen 2004; Chaumeil 2009; Brown & Nicholas 2012), almost all have been limited to one or two societies. To date, all researchers states that has been very limited application of conventional law in the protection of the intellectual property of expressions of traditional knowledge and culture because they generally fall outside the protection of copyrights and patents. ¿Do you know examples of TCE protected by intellectual property rights? ¿How western statute and customary law do or do not protect intellectual property?.
What are the accepted theories or models that can be applied to the case of minority that facing ethnic discrimination after the inter-ethnic conflict?
I am writing my MA thesis on ethnic minority discrimination after the conflict and their everyday life predicaments, as economic cultural and political discrimination. I want to use some models or a theory to this case, except of nationalism. Can you suggest me some? Thank you!
Racial consciousness work that aims to increase understanding across difference is important to all individuals regardless of race, but especially relevant to those individuals of white skin because of the overwhelming lack of explicit racial consciousness and the normative space occupied by many in the group.
