Warren, M. A., Bordoloi, S. D., Bock, H.*, & Warren, M. T. (in progress). An exploration of socio-economic status, education level, and urban/rural residence on allyship behavior in the United States and Canada

Perceptions of one’s effectiveness as an ally in the workplace, imposterism (i.e., feeling like a “fake” when acting as an ally), and psychological safety (i. e., feeling safe to discuss bias) may vary depending on one’s socio-economic status, education level, and geographic region in which one is located (e.g., urban vs rural areas). In this study, we are exploring how these different demographic characteristics may influence (or not) allyship behaviors across three different workplace samples in Michigan (n=779), California (n=504), and Canada (n=1003).
