“…One possible explanation for the present findings is that empathic responses to others’ pain might be sensitive to their physical condition ( Fisher and Ma, 2014 ). Empathy for pain to healthier ( Carrito et al, 2016 ; Bixley et al, 2018 ; Dias, 2020 ) and younger ( Tamm et al, 2017 ) individuals have shown to be reduced. It is possible that people with more attractive dark-skinned faces may be considered healthier and younger than other people, and thus be perceived as having better physical fitness.…”

“…Skin color, especially facial skin color, plays an important role in judgments of physiological health, which include fitness, immunity, and fertility ( Bixley et al, 2018 ). There have been numerous studies that have suggested that individuals’ perceptions of physical fitness are influenced by skin color ( Carrito et al, 2016 ; Dias, 2020 ), and physical fitness has important implications for resisting potential threat and harm ( Ogunjimi et al, 2020 ). One study showed that when participants were asked to select the healthiest person from photographs of individuals with different skin color, they consistently chose dark skin over fair or wheatish skin ( Cairns et al, 2020 ).…”

Although racial in-group bias in empathy for pain has been reported, empathic responses to others’ pain may be influenced by other characteristics besides race. To explore whether skin color and attractiveness modulate empathy for pain, we recorded 24 participants’ reactions to painful faces from racial in-group members with different skin color (fair, wheatish, or dark) and attractiveness (more or less attractive) using event-related potentials (ERPs). Results showed that, for more attractive painful faces, dark skin faces were judged as less painful and elicited smaller N2 amplitudes than fair- and wheatish-skinned faces. However, for less attractive faces, there were no significant differences among the three skin colors. Our findings suggest that empathy for pain toward racial in-group members may be influenced by skin color and attractiveness.

“…Kang et al (2016) have demonstrated that racialized applicants were aware of the risk of getting filtered out and up to 40% of them had resorted to "résumé whitening" in order to conceal racial cues in their applications. Other studies have also demonstrated that racialized applicants get filtered out because of their name (Watson et al, 2011), names and address (Davis & Muir, 2003), skin tone (Derous et al, 2017), and skin color, class, and gender (Dias, 2020).…”

This paper qualitatively examines “privation of inclusion” at work in the lived experiences of racialized participants hired in publicly funded places of employment. Taking the position that the dualistic inclusion-exclusion paradigm fails to capture their lived realities with inclusive exclusions and exclusive inclusions, it presents privative inclusion as a third space, between inclusion and exclusion, for a more robust framework in understanding how racialized bodies were marked and targeted for differential treatment. The paper then outlines and discusses findings as key indicators of privative mechanisms that had undermined life chances by limiting career mobility of racialized participants of this study. It concludes by emphasizing the need for additional research in this area given the salience of racism at work as well as the demographic changes that Canada is currently experiencing.

“…In most societies, social members are often divided into different classes formally or informally due to their different characteristics such as power [ 1 ], property [ 2 ], education [ 3 ], family [ 4 ], race [ 5 ], gender [ 6 ], age [ 7 ], and occupation [ 8 ], that is, there is a system that gives different social members different social status. Occupational stratification is a very key feature to distinguish social members [ 9 , 10 ].…”

Background The emerging information and communications technology (ICT) and society 5.0 have integrated digital innovation and imaginative creativity to solve social problems and create social value in an aging society. Especially in China, the penetration rate of internet use has become more prominent. Nevertheless, the role of internet use in the relationship between occupational status and depression remains unknown. The purpose of this study was to estimate how internet use moderates the relationship between occupational status and depression in a sample of older adults in China. Methods A cross-sectional design was used to assess the relationship between occupational status, internet use and depression. This study employed data from the Chinese General Social Survey (CGSS) conducted in 2017. The full sample size of this study is 2,403. OLS regression was adopted to explore the correlation between occupational status and depression and the moderating role of internet use. Meanwhile, a heterogeneity analysis based on residence registration was implemented to explore the difference between rural and urban sample groups. Results The findings suggested that higher occupational status was related to lower depression level. By playing an inhibitory moderating role between the association of occupational status and depression, internet use and occupational status formed a substituting effect. Meanwhile, the above moderating effect was only significant in urban group and insignificant in rural group. Besides, being male and having higher social class were significantly and negatively correlated with depression. Conclusion This study began with the theory of social stratification and social mobility, added the theory of social capital, constructed an analytical framework of regulatory effect, put forward two basic assumptions, selected measurement indicators taking into account Chinese cultural factors, and conducted empirical tests using authoritative statistical software and national representative data, providing a new theoretical contribution to our understanding of the impact of occupational status and depression in developing countries.
