Reaction to Penn et al.'s "On the Desirability of Own-Group Preference."

Taylor, Jerome

Journal of Black Psychology, v19 n3 p333-35 Aug 1993

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, linkages between preferences and institutionalized racism, and cultural preconsciousness and cognitive schema.
