Historically, the leaders of mainstream U.S. Women's Movements have struggled to effectively manage the racial/ethnic diversity among women in order to form and maintain coalitions. Previous research indicates the reason behind this struggle is that mainstream feminist leaders fail to recognize the fact that women with different social positions have different preferences about how intragroup differences should be managed within the movement. Advantaged subgroups of women (e.g., White women) prefer movements that focus on shared experiences with gender discrimination, while the disadvantaged subgroups of women (e.g., Latinas) prefer movements that account for the interaction of gender discrimination with other axes of marginalization. While these patterns have been well-established in the literature, we know less about the psychological processes that facilitate these effects.In this dissertation, I argue that diversity management strategies (DMS) that recognize women's intragroup differences across race/ethnicity increase WoC's sense that women can address the issues they face (i.e., increase WoC's perceived group efficacy), which then results in higher levels of cooperation with White women. In contrast, these multicultural DMS should decrease White women's sense of perceived group efficacy, which then later results in lower levels of political support for women of color. To test my arguments, I use three sets of parallel survey experiments with adult Latinas and adult White women. In the first set of experiments, I find that Latinas and White women who prefer the recognition of intragroup differences tend to express a stronger sense of group efficacy, which then later results in a stronger interest in coalition formation. In the second set of experiments, I find that organizers need to be careful when recognizing intragroup differences as misapplying this recognition has the potential of deterring or neutralizing the levels of political support that Latinas and White women expressed for one another. In the last set of experiments, I find that Latinas' responses to diversity management strategies are not conditioned by their preferences for maintaining group hierarchies. I find, however, that White Women's responses to diversity management strategies are conditioned by the degree to which they favor group hierarchies.
