How do we judge whether individuals are allowed to engage in intergroup discrimination in their choice of housemates, friends, or organizations? Why do some people fervently support affirmative action whereas others oppose it? I propose that one way in which we can understand these disagreements is through the prism of the Oppression Lens. I define the Oppression Lens as the extent to which people consider histories of oppression and power dynamics between social groups (e.g., nationalities, genders, races, sexual orientations) when making current-day social judgments. Simply put, the Oppression Lens perspective is an analytical perspective that interprets present-day contentious intergroup relations issues as arising from different levels of consideration given to historical contexts. Those high on the Oppression Lens see the world as made and remade through the history of social and political power dynamics. For them, it is important to apply flexible standards based on the understanding that different groups (e.g., straight vs. queer individuals) along a social dimension (e.g., sexual orientation) possess different historical experiences. On the other hand, those low on the Oppression Lens do not appreciate that social groups are characterized by differential power rooted in history; rather, they see social groups as existing in the present apart from history. In this dissertation, I develop the Oppression Lens perspective drawing on intergroup relations literatures in social psychology (colorblindness, historical perspectives), and critical race theory in legal studies (Chapter 1). I highlight that the Oppression Lens perspective can complement scholarship on traditional forms of prejudice and discrimination. Then, I construct a self-report measure-the Endorsement of the Oppression Lens (EOL) scale-to capture individual differences in the Oppression Lens construct (Chapter 2). I then show that the Oppression Lens measured by EOL can predict people's judgments about the permissibility of criticism, differential judgments of the same actions carried out by actors belonging to powerful vs. marginalized groups, and differential prejudices toward social groups of different perceived power and historical victimization (Chapter 3). I seek to understand the extreme ends of the Oppression Lens by interviewing those extremely low and high on the Oppression Lens (Chapter 4). Lastly, I show that a short, one-time intervention is not successful in increasing people's endorsement of the Oppression Lens (Chapter 5). To conclude, I discuss the strengths, limitations, and implications of the Oppression Lens perspective learned through the studies and discuss future directions of the research program (Chapter 6).
