“…Science communication has an immense impact, not only on the individual scientists who communicate with the public but also on the larger collective of scientists and scientific institutions (Hoffman et al, 2015). This is true, in part, because of the high-prestige social position that scientists occupy in society (Smith & Son, 2014). The messages that individual scientists communicate can be perceived or misperceived, via normative influence processes (see Tankard & Paluck, 2016), as reflecting larger views of the scientific community.…”

The field of psychology has a long history of encouraging researchers to disseminate their findings to the broader public. This trend has continued in recent decades in part because of professional psychology organizations reissuing calls to “give psychology away.” This recent wave of calls to give psychology away is different because it has been occurring alongside another movement in the field—the credibility revolution in which psychology has been reckoning with metascientific questions about what exactly psychologists know. This creates a dilemma for the modern psychologist: How is one to “give psychology away” if one is unsure about what is known or what one has to give? In the current article, we discuss strategies for navigating this tension by drawing on insights from the interdisciplinary fields of science communication and persuasion and social influence.

“…The GSS measure for occupational prestige has been used since 1989 and is created by asking a sample of respondents not surveyed in the main GSS survey to rank the “social standing” of 90 different occupations on a scale of 1–9, with 9 being the highest standing. These rankings are then averaged to create a score for that occupation, and then transformed so the ratings range from 0 to 100, with 0 being no prestige and 100 being extremely high levels of prestige (see Nakao and Treas 1994; Smith and Son 2014). Retired respondents were rated according to the prestige of their previous occupation before retiring.…”

Intersectional Stratification: Race, Religion, and Status Attainment

Research repeatedly shows that stratification occurs through racial classification and systemic racism. Scholars have also shown that stratification in wealth, education, and occupational attainment for Americans varies by religious affiliation. In this article, we incorporate theories of intersectionality and complex religion to study the ways that religion stratifies status attainment within racial groups in the United States. We hypothesize that relational proximity to predominantly white denominations increases status attainment for racial minorities in the United States. Using data from the 2000-2016 waves of the General Social Survey, we find that Black Evangelicals have higher levels of occupational prestige than Black non-Evangelicals. We argue that this is because of networks of social capital via multiracial churches that allow Black Evangelicals access to increasing levels of occupational prestige.
