Congratulations to Zoey Eddy on receiving the Outstanding Master's Student Award from the Rutgers School of Graduate Studies!

We are so happy for our lab manager, Tose who will be working with @sarahegaither at Duke this coming Fall. We will miss you terribly but we are so proud!

We have created a Slack space so that those interested in Multiracial research can continue to discuss with like-minded scholars. If you would like more information about how to possibly join the Slack group please feel free to DM us!

This semester we had the pleasure of hosting the second multidisciplinary Multiracial research conference @RutgersU. It was amazing to have leading scholars convene to discuss topics such as Multiracial socialization, health, discrimination, and identity.

Congratulations to our very own @grace__wetzel on a successful 4th year talk!

In our recently published study, we set out to understand what questions and uncertainties young people have about sex. We found that girls had questions and concerns about whether sex was painful, while boys had heard that sex was pleasurable. 🔗: authors.elsevier.com/a/1hu2o_,2PPRy…

In celebration of National Orgasm Day, we wanted to share our recent publication on how feasibility cues during a sexual encounter shifted heterosexual women’s motivation for pursuing an orgasm. @grace__wetzel @Dr_DSanchez  @DrShanaCole

Excited to announce that we are hosting our second annual Diversifying Psychology Day at @rutgers_psych! sites.rutgers.edu/rdpd/ Prospective Psych PhDs with minoritized identities are invited to fill this out (due Sept 8) to attend 👇 rutgers.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3x…

Shout out to the Lay Theories of Prejudice Lab for leading this important work.@KimEChaney @mdphamm

Another new paper this month 🌈🌈. Essentially, we found that multiply stigmatized people (especially LGBTQ+ women of color) endorsed a lay theory of generalized prejudice and intraminority coalitions MORE than singly stigmatized and non-stigmatized people.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.108…

New paper alert 👇 👇. In short, people with stigmatized identities infer A LOT from disagreeable traits (a person’s level of prejudice, hierarchy endorsing beliefs). And it’s not merely about likeability! @melanie_maimon @AnaliaAlbuja @Dr_DSanchez onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/ZWUAX8NH…

Congratulations to Diana Sanchez (@Dr_DSanchez )! She has been elected the 2025 president of the Society for Personality and Social Psychology (@SPSPnews). 🔗: spsp.org/news/spsp-news…
