“…That is, if people are not able to express who they are (feel distinctive) and also feel they are part of a group (feel included), negative outcomes are likely to result. People who are not able to express identities important to them are likely to experience negative psychological and physical health (Meyer, 2007), internalized stigma (Herek, Gillis, & Cogan, 2009), frustration and anger (Pennekamp, Doosje, Zebel, & Henriquez, 2009), and detachment from the workplace (Ragins, 2004).…”

The purpose of this study was to understand (a) how participants conceptualized lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) inclusiveness in their athletic departments, (b) the antecedents of such workplace environments, and (c) the outcomes associated with inclusion. To do so, the author conducted a collective case study of two college athletic departments located in the U.S. Northeast. Data sources included individual interviews with coaches and administrators (n = 17), a reflexive journal, websites, university materials, and external publications. Participants described the athletic departments as characterized by community and cohesion, respect and inclusion, and success oriented. Various antecedents contributed to these workplace environments, including those at the individual level, leader behaviors, inclusive organizational policies, and macro-level influences. Finally, while some negative outcomes were identified, LGBT inclusion was predominantly associated with a host of positive outcomes for the employees, athletes, and organizations as a whole.

“…These other worldviews can therefore pose a symbolic threat (Grant & Brown, 1995). When some important value or domain is threatened or criticized, people are likely to experience anger (Cottrell & Neuberg, 2005;Mackie, Devos, & Smith, 2000;Pennekamp, Doosje, Zebel, & Alarcon Henriquez, 2009;Pennekamp, Doosje, Zebel, & Fischer, 2007). Based on the intergroup emotions theory (IET; Mackie et al, 2000;Smith, 1993), research shows that when people are not directly harmed themselves, they still can experience anger when their in-group is threatened (e.g., Yzerbyt, Dumont, Wigboldus, & Gordijn, 2003).…”

Reactions to members of other groups are important in multicultural societies. In four studies (N = 725), we investigate the reactions of majority group members to minority group members who stress either their distinct identity or their shared identity when they express threatening critical messages. In Study 1, we investigate reactions to a person who stresses the importance of either his Moroccan and Muslim identity or his Dutch and non‐Islamic identity. In Studies 2 and 3, we disentangle national and religious identity. Across all studies, we find that minority group members who stress their shared identity rather than their distinct identity are evaluated more positively, are perceived as more similar to the self, and tend to evoke less anger. In Study 4, we replicate this finding and show that perceived similarity mediates the impact of identity on these evaluations, but constructiveness only partially mediates these relations. Results are discussed in terms of recategorization models and the intergroup sensitivity effect. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
