“…In addition, immigrants with U.S. citizenship or immigrants who have the legal right to be in the country may be evaluated differently from those who are not legally in the country (Wright, Levy, & Citrin, ), but we do not explore variation across immigrants with different legal status . Nonetheless, our selection of Mexican immigrants is a group that is often considered one of the most difficult to integrate (Ditlmann & Lagunes, ; Pérez, ). Therefore, Mexicans are a hard case of immigrant integration which is biased towards finding evidence of salient foreign origins.…”

We examine immigrant integration by analyzing how natives evaluate immigrants' character. Most literature examines how natives distinguish between immigrants with different levels of assimilation, which is best suited to identifying integration boundaries between different types of immigrants. We shift the analysis and examine the boundary between immigrants and natives, which measures integration by the extent to which immigrant status is relevant for character evaluations. We compare how natives respond to national insults that come from immigrants as opposed to natives. We focus on insulting the nation because it highlights the salience of national identity and clarifies the importance of group boundaries. We measure responses to national insults with vignette experiments from three original surveys in the United States. Our results are consistent with situationist theories of interpersonal interactions because they suggest that character evaluations are more dependent on the situational distinction between people who do and do not insult the nation than the demographic distinction between whether the insult comes from a native or immigrant. These findings have multiple implications for our understanding of national identity, immigrant integration, and immigrant-native boundaries.

“…While these barriers are serious, researchers have found creative ways to address both microand macrolevel variables. For a study that overcame the microlevel problem by assessing nonverbal displays of emotion in a field setting (see Ditlmann and Lagunes, 2014). Another study addressed the macrolevel problem of gaining insight into institutional corruption processes by studying requests for drivers' licenses in India (Bertrand et al, 2007).…”

Field experiments are experiments in settings with high degrees of naturalism. This article describes different types of field experiments, including randomized field trials, randomized rollout designs, encouragement designs, downstream field experiments, hybrid lab-field experiments, and covert population experiments, and discusses their intellectual background and benefits. It also lists methodological challenges researchers can encounter when conducting field experiments, including failure to treat, selective attrition, spillover, difficulty of replication, and black box causality, and discusses available solutions. Finally, it provides an overview over current and emerging directions in field experimentation and concludes with a brief history of field experiments.

“…Health-promoting resources with ID requirements may include housing (e.g., applying for leases and viewing housing); healthcare (e.g., proving health insurance status); pharmaceutical and financial (e.g., opening bank accounts and cashing checks) 3 ; political enfranchisement (e.g., voting) 4 ; governmental records (e.g., getting birth certificates); goods and services, 5 age-restricted goods, and community resources (e.g., library cards and food banks) 3 , 6 ; and governmental safety net programs (e.g., Medicaid and food stamps). 1 , 7 IDs are also needed to safely prove identity to law enforcement to prevent detention or interactions with other law enforcement agencies.…”

“…24–27 Local IDs hold promise for disrupting the health equity implications of restrictive ID policies. However, few local ID policies have been evaluated 5 , 17 , 28 to ensure local IDs improve access to resources that are contingent upon having government-issued ID and unbiased treatment in acceptance of local IDs. Among the intended benefits of local ID policies is the reduction of racial/ethnic inequities linked with restrictive ID policies.…”

Purpose: Policies that restrict access to U.S. government-issued photo identification (ID) cards adversely affect multiple marginalized communities. This context impedes access to health-promoting resources that increasingly require government-issued IDs and exacerbates health inequities. In 2015, Washtenaw County, Michigan, implemented the Washtenaw ID to improve access to resources contingent upon having an ID. We employed an audit study to examine whether Washtenaw ID users experienced racially biased treatment in carding experiences and acceptance of the Washtenaw ID.Methods: Seven 25- to 32-year-old mystery shoppers (two Latina, three black, and two white women) attempted to purchase a standardized basket of goods, including an age-restricted item in Washtenaw County stores (n=130 shopping experiences). We examined whether experiences of being asked for ID and acceptance of the Washtenaw ID varied by race/ethnicity.Results: Each shopper visited 9–22 stores. Shoppers were asked for ID in 63.1% of shopping experiences. Of these, the Washtenaw ID was accepted 91.5% of the time. Among those who were asked for ID, a higher percentage of Latina (16.0%) shoppers had their Washtenaw IDs rejected than black (6.3%) and white (4.0%) shoppers, although differences were not statistically significant (p=0.27). Latina shoppers had 2.9 times the odds of receiving a comment about their Washtenaw ID relative to white shoppers (OR=2.92, p=0.08), comments that were nonpositive.Conclusion: Local IDs may improve access to resources contingent upon having an ID. However, racialization processes, including anti-immigrant sentiments, may inhibit the mitigating goal of local IDs. Continued attention to the health equity impacts of equity-driven interventions is warranted.
