    Dear Netters,


    Here are the responses I received to my "managing diversity" inquiry:

    John Hollwitz recommended the following research streams:

    1) strong series of studies by Madeline Heilman and her research team
    at NYU during the 1990s on potential attributional biases that may
    follow from proactive diversity programming, under certain conditions.

    2) The National Urban League surveys on differences in attitudinal
    responses between exempt and non-exempt employees on the intentions
    and effectiveness of corporate diversity initiatives. Wish I could
    remember more.

    Corinne Post suggested the research on stereotype suppression and its
    consequences:

    Bodenhausen, G. V. & Macrae, C. N. 1996. The self-regulation of
    intergroup perception: Mechanisms and consequences of stereotype
    suppression. In C. N. Macrae & N. Stangor & M.Hewstone (Eds.),
    Stereotypes and Stereotyping. New York: The Guilford Press.

    Macrae, C. N., Bodenhausen, G. V., Milne, A. B., & Wheeler, V. 1996.
    On resisting the temptation for simplification: Counterintentional
    effects of stereotype suppression on social memory. Social Cognition,
    14(1): 1-20.

    Mustafa F. Ozbilgin recommended Academy of Management Learning and
    Education’s special issue on Diversity Education and Training, guest
    edited by Myrtle P Bell and David Kravitz.

    Arthur Brief recommended a review by Kulik and Roberson in
    Brief's(2008) Diversity at Work book published by Cambridge.

    Marcus Stewart recommended the following article:
    Stewart, M., Crary, M., & Humberd, B. K. (forthcoming) "Teaching
    value in diversity: On the folly of espousing inclusion, while
    practicing exclusion" Academy of Management Learning and Education.

    Finally, two working papers were recommended:

    Goncalo, J. A., Chatman, J. A., & Duguid, M. M. “On the Unintended
    Consequences of Political Correctness in Work Groups.” Working paper
    at Cornell University.

    Bezrukova , K. , Joshi, A. & Jehn, K. A. “Diversity Training Research
    in Organizational Settings: A Theoretical Review and Integration.”
    Paper presented at the Society for Industrial and Organizational
    Psychology. (I don't have the year)


    Thanks very much to everyone who responded.

    Best.
