Own-Group Preferences as a Function of Self-Affirmation: A Reaction to Penn et al.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Parham, Thomas A. – Journal of Black Psychology, 1993
Penn, Gaines, and Phillips in their article "On the Desirability of Own-Group Preference" (1993) should be applauded for their efforts toward more universal level of acceptance and accord. Their goal is not challenged, but their vision is lacking. True respect for and acceptance of others can never be achieved in the absence of respect…

Phillips, Layli; And Others – Journal of Black Psychology, 1993

Sellers, Robert M. – Journal of Black Psychology, 1993
Bottom line regarding veracity of assertion of Michael L. Penn, Stanley O.

Claim of Michael L. Penn, Stanley O. Gaines, and Layli Phillips (1993) in their article "On the Desirability of Own-Group Preference"--that self-esteem and identity achievement are unrelated to own-group preference--is a matter of controversy. Recommendations are made for research that considers physical features beyond skin color,…

Helms, Janet E. – Journal of Black Psychology, 1993
Argues that little of what Michael L. Penn, Stanley O. Gaines, and Layli Phillips (1993) have to say in their article "On the Desirability of Own-Group Preference" about ethnic own-group preference is new and that it is distorted and naive interpretation of social history to carry on the tradition of blaming African Americans for the…

Can the Social Historian Get It Right?
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Diggins, John Patrick – Society, 1997
The "National Standards for History in Schools" is nearly racist in its categories in that it concentrates on group identity and the individual nearly becomes a prisoner of ethnic identity. It suffers from the illusion that all historical phenomena deserve equal treatment. (SLD)

Penn, Michael L.; And Others – Journal of Black Psychology, 1993
