Racial resentment increases support for work requirements in safety-net programs. Expanded work requirements may disproportionately harm minority groups, particularly in conservative, high-poverty, rural areas.
Area of Science:
- Social Sciences
- Public Policy
- Health Equity
Background:
- Administrative burdens can hinder access to essential safety-net programs.
- Racial resentment is a significant factor influencing public support for certain policies.
Purpose of the Study:
- To examine the link between racial resentment and support for work requirements.
- To analyze the potential impact of expanded work requirements on racial and ethnic minority groups.
Main Methods:
- The study discusses findings on racial resentment and support for administrative burdens.
- It analyzes the implications of the Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023 regarding work requirements.
Main Results:
- Racial resentment was found to increase support for work requirements.
- Expanded work requirements may disproportionately affect minority populations.
Conclusions:
- The implementation of hardship exemptions, time-limit waivers, and work requirements by states and counties is crucial.
- Racial and ethnic minority groups, especially in conservative, high-poverty, rural areas, may face adverse effects from expanded work requirements.

Humans are very diverse and although we share many similarities, we also have many differences. The social groups we belong to help form our identities (Tajfel, 1974). These differences may be difficult for some people to reconcile, which may lead to prejudice toward people who are different. Prejudice is a negative attitude and feeling toward an individual based solely on one’s membership in a particular social group (Allport, 1954; Brown, 2010). Prejudice is common against people who...

The Stereotype Content Model (SCM) was first proposed by Susan Fiske and her colleagues (Fiske, Cuddy, Glick & Xu, 2002; see also Fiske, 2012 and Fiske, 2017). The SCM specifies that when someone encounters a new group, they will stereotype them based on two metrics: warmth—or that group’s perceived intent, and how likely they are to provide help or inflict harm—and competence—or their ability to carry out that objective. Depending on the warmth-competence...

Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

According to obedience research, we may harm others under the forceful pressures of an authority figure (Milgram, 1974). How about if the inappropriate orders were delivered with less force? The increasing interdependence between nurses and physicians compelled Hofling and his colleagues to explore nurses’ reactions to a potentially harmful medical request made by the perceived authority figure, the doctor (Hofling, Brotzman, Dalrymple, Graves, & Pierce, 1966). In this situation,...
