In winter 2025, Distinguished Professor Campbell Leaper co-published an article in the Journal of Latinx Psychology with former doctoral student Dr. Brenda Gutierrez, which examined the socialization of sexist attitudes among Mexican-heritage college youths. Endorsing sexism was less likely if both their cultural identity was important and their familial peers (e.g., cousins, siblings) had conveyed gender-egalitarian messages. Thus, same-aged relatives may help Mexican-heritage youths maintain a strong ethnic identity while endorsing nontraditional gender attitudes.
