2.	Can Incarceration Really Strip People of Racial Privilege? Sociological Science published online (18 March 2016): DOI: 10.15195/v3.a10. Also: https://www.sociologicalscience.com/v3-10-190/ Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Sociological Science Keyword(s): Incarceration/Jail; Modeling, Fixed Effects; Racial Studies Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. We replicate and reexamine Saperstein and Penner's prominent 2010 study which asks whether incarceration changes the probability that an individual will be seen as black or white (regardless of the individual's phenotype). Our reexamination shows that only a small part of their empirical analysis is suitable for addressing this question (the fixed-effects estimates), and that these results are extremely fragile. Using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, we find that being interviewed in jail/prison does not increase the survey respondent's likelihood of being classified as black, and avoiding incarceration during the survey period does not increase a person's chances of being seen as white. We conclude that the empirical component of Saperstein and Penner's work needs to be reconsidered and new methods for testing their thesis should be investigated. The data are provided for other researchers to explore.

3.	Just Skin Deep? The Impact of Interviewer Race on the Assessment of African American Respondent Skin Tone Race and Social Problems 6,4 (December 2014): 356-364. Also: http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s12552-014-9128-z Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Springer Keyword(s): Discrimination; General Social Survey (GSS); Interviewer Characteristics; Racial Differences; Racial Equality/Inequality; Skin Tone Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Over the last decade, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has seen a significant increase in the number of discrimination claims based on skin shade. However, in some ways, substantiating colorism has proven to be more difficult than documenting racism, as skin tone data are rarely collected and few existing skin tone measures have been validated. The present study examines an increasingly popular skin tone scale that includes a professionally designed color guide to enhance rater consistency. Logistic regression analysis of data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth and General Social Survey indicates that despite the addition of the color guide, the race of the interviewer matters for the assessment of respondent skin tone. On average, African American respondents with a white interviewer were about 3 times more likely to be classified as dark than those with an African American interviewer. We argue that failing to appropriately account for this race-of-interviewer effect can significantly impact colorism findings.

4.	The Relationship Between Skin Tone and School Suspension for African Americans Race and Social Problems 5,4 (December 2013): 281-295. Also: http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s12552-013-9104-z Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Springer Keyword(s): Black Studies; Discrimination; National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (AddHealth); Racial Differences; School Suspension/Expulsion; Skin Tone Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This study contributes to the research literature on colorism–discrimination based on skin tone—by examining whether skin darkness affects the likelihood that African Americans will experience school suspension. Using data from The National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, logistic regression analyses indicated that darker skin tone significantly increased the odds of suspension for African American adolescents. Closer inspection of the data revealed that this overall result was disproportionately driven by the experiences of African American females. The odds of suspension were about 3 times greater for young African American women with the darkest skin tone compared to those with the lightest skin. This finding was robust to the inclusion of controls for parental SES, delinquent behavior, academic performance, and several other variables. Furthermore, this finding was replicated using similar measures in a different sample of African Americans from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health. The results suggest that discrimination in school discipline goes beyond broad categories of race to include additional distinctions in skin tone.

5.	Do White People See Variation in Black Skin Tones? Reexamining a Purported Outgroup Homogeneity Effect Social Psychology Quarterly published online (2 November 2020): DOI: 10.1177/0190272520961408. Also: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/0190272520961408 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: American Sociological Association Keyword(s): General Social Survey (GSS); Interviewer Characteristics; Racial Differences; Skin Tone Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Previous research has reported that white survey interviewers remember black respondents' skin tones in a much narrower range than recollections by black interviewers. This finding has been used to suggest that, in line with the one-drop rule, whites do not perceive meaningful differences between light- and dark-skinned black people. The authors reanalyze evidence thought to demonstrate relative homogeneity in white interviewers' evaluation of black skin tones. In contrast to previous studies, this examination of several data sources reveals significant heterogeneity in the ratings assigned by white interviewers when taking into account the ordinal nature of the skin tone measures. The results are consistent with theories of social cognition that emphasize that beyond formal racial classification schemes, skin tone is used to implicitly categorize others along a continuum of "blackness." The findings also align with research suggesting that rather than nullifying within-race skin tone, increases in white racism intensify white colorism.
