“…For example, Hispanics did not differ from Caucasians in support of capital punishment (Boots, Heide, & Cochran, 2004). Similarly, Caucasians and Hispanics shared the opinion that Affirmative Action laws are unfair, and that Hispanics are not very likely to be discriminated against when applying for jobs (Kravitz & Klineberg, 2000). What is surprising about the findings from these studies is that these laws are ethnically controversial.…”

Hispanics are now the largest minority group in the United States, yet research examining the impact this will have on the American legal system is limited. The first purpose of this article was to synthesize the studies that have been conducted, which have found that Hispanics have a perspective toward the police, the courts and the law, and jury decision making that is unique from those of Caucasians and other ethnic groups. The second purpose of this article was to analyze whether psychology and law research has been conducted in a manner conducive to identifying this unique Hispanic perspective. An analysis of 800 articles published in five psychology and law journals revealed that, while Hispanics were typically conceptualized properly, the proportion of articles devoted to the Hispanic perspective is disturbingly low. To increase understanding of the Hispanic perspective, psychology and law researchers must increase the amount of empirical attention given to Hispanics.

Although the importance of diversity in organizations is widely recognized, diversity training is under attack. Drawing from self-efficacy theory and research, we developed a questionnaire to measure one's efficacy of successfully coping with widely recognized diversity initiatives. Then we conducted a study examining the effect of self-efficacy-based diversity training on the level of participant's measured diversity self-efficacy (DSE) and the possible mediation of this DSE on intentions to pursue positive diversity-related initiatives. The field experimental design showed that training incorporating efficacy components significantly increased trainees' (N = 276) measured DSE. Diversity training was also shown to be positively related to the trainees' stated levels of difficulty and magnitude in coping with diversity initiatives. Finally, the DSE was found to mediate training and intentions. Importantly, one-year follow-up data supported the impact of the intentions. The practical implications of these findings for HRD in general and diversity training in particular conclude this article.

“…In terms of the policy, previous research has shown that attitudes towards affirmative action may vary depending on whether the policy is addressing race or gender (Sniderman & Piazza, 1993;Kravitz & Klineberg, 2000), as well as veteran status (Skretny, 1996). The very phrasing of the survey item has an impact on respondents, with individuals less likely to support the policy if the words such as "quota" or "preference" are used in descriptions (Golden, Hinkle, & Crosby, 2001;Le, Lee, & Sawyer, 2006).…”

PageSuggested key words: affirmative action, race, political attitudes, diversity, students, politics This paper examines student attitudes towards affirmative action over four years of college. Asian American and Latino/a students were more likely than White students to disagree strongly or somewhat with abolishing affirmative action after four years of college. A student's attitude towards the policy as a first-year student, peer group influence, and political orientation were significant predictors of student attitudes of affirmative action during the fourth year of college. The findings suggest that while college plays some role in shaping affirmative action attitudes, its influence is somewhat limited in comparison to the background traits and attitudes that students bring to college.3
