Summary: This qualitative study explored nurses' experiences of workplace discrimination based on race, ethnicity, culture, or religion. The findings revealed that nurses faced a wide range of discrimination, from insensitive jokes to overt exclusion, from various individuals including patients, colleagues, and physicians. The long-term effects of discrimination on nurses included avoidance of perpetrators, disconnection from colleagues and their professional role, and leaving the workplace. Understanding and addressing these experiences are crucial for creating safer and more equitable workplaces for nurses.

Summary: The study suggests that explicit prejudice and resentment are distinct constructs, and explicit prejudice has a clear impact on behavior. It was found in the experiment that whites engaged in anti-Black discrimination, and explicit prejudice was able to explain this discrimination. Additionally, explicit prejudice is widespread among white Americans and is significantly less partisan compared to resentment.

Summary: Past research has shown that older adults are stereotyped as less malleable than young adults. This study aimed to integrate previous findings and demonstrate that endorsing ageist beliefs about older adults' malleability would result in a lower confrontation of anti-Black prejudice expressed by older adults. Four experimental studies involving 1,573 participants revealed that people were less likely to confront age-related prejudice when it was expressed by an 82-year-old compared to younger individuals, partially due to beliefs about older adults' limited malleability. Furthermore, these beliefs were found across different age groups. These findings highlight how stereotypes about older adults can hinder racial equality.

Summary: With the increase in global migration, developed countries are seeking migrant nurses to supplement their workforces. However, these migrant nurses are often undervalued, underutilized, and experience deskilling and unmet expectations. Limited research has been done on the experiences of Migrant African nurses, so this study aims to synthesize existing studies to gain deeper understanding of their transitioning experiences and career progression, as well as highlight gaps for future research and inform policies.

Summary: The research highlights the negative impact of racism-related stress on the psychological resilience of Black/African American nurses. Participants perceived low resilience in stressful situations, particularly due to lived and vicarious racism. Additionally, the study found a significant positive correlation between participants' perceived psychological resilience and their ability to assess and mitigate the harmful effects of racism-related stress through coping resources.

Summary: The essay explores the dehumanizing portrayals of Black people in various aspects of society and argues that contemporary political science research has not adequately addressed the historical roots and ongoing practices of white people's dehumanization of Black people. The authors aim to rectify this by drawing on historical research and connecting prevailing conceptions of racial attitudes to long-standing processes of dehumanization. They conclude by proposing directions for future scholarship to challenge mainstream notions of racial attitudes.

Summary: This study found that African American women experience faster cellular aging, and the Superwoman Schema and racial identity have an impact on cellular aging. Higher resistance to vulnerability and higher private regard are associated with longer telomeres, while higher public regard is associated with shorter telomeres. Among women with high public regard, emotion suppression and motivation to succeed are associated with longer telomeres, while the interaction between high centrality and emotion suppression is associated with shorter telomeres.

Summary: This study examined the relationship between experiences of racial discrimination and parenting among African American mothers, and identified psychological mediators and moderators of this relationship. The results showed that experiences of racial discrimination were associated with increased parenting stress, mediated by stress overload and depressive symptoms. However, racial discrimination was not associated with parenting styles, and coping strategies did not significantly moderate the relationships examined.
