in lecture we discussed a study of penner and saperstein (2008) about racial classification. the study investigated the role of three factors: employment, incarceration, and poverty status, in people's racial (self-)classifications. interviewers had to assess participants' race at various points in time, and participants had do assess their own race at various points in time. how were interviewers' classifications of participants' race and participants' self-classification of their own race affected by participants' employment, incarceration, and poverty status?
