Dr. Ashley Ramsey, Faculty Mentor
This research looks at the ingroup vs. outgroup attitudes of people in the gender majority and gender minority based on four dimensions of social attitudes: prejudice, acceptance, comfort, and trust. Gender majority is defined as anyone who identifies with the gender that they were assigned at birth; this includes cisgender men and women. Gender minority includes anybody who does not identify with the gender they were assigned at birth; this includes trans men and women, non-binary people, and other genderqueer people. This research contains data that was collected using a survey of students at Truman State University and adults from the general population.
