Procedures are used today in all areas of life
including business, education, politics and as in
this study to determine a groups ethnicity. American
Indians are the only ethnic group that must petition
to the United States government to validate legally
their ethnicity.
The purpose of the current study was to explore the
effects of social exclusion threat negative affect on
the evaluated fairness of a procedure that functions
to validate ethnic membership using the Dimensional
Voice Model (Bane, 1994). It was hypothesized that
a procedure designed to validate ethnic membership
will result in social exclusion threat negative
affect. A procedure designed to validate ethnic
membership was hypothesized as being evaluated as
unfair(Thibaut, Walker, LaTour, & Houlden, 1974).
Justifications before the procedure was tested as the
rationale for the procedure introduced as procedural
justification. The results suggest that procedures
designed to validate ethnic membership were evaluated
as unfair. Additionally, the results indicated that
procedural justifications might affect perceptions of
fairness of the procedure. Implications for Lumbee
Federal Recognition are discussed.
