from the Society for Personality and Social Psychology 2007 Kurt Lewin Memorial Award from the Society for the Psychological Study of Social Issues, distinguished address titled To be American: Immigration, Hyphenation, and Incorporation 2001 American Psychological Association (APA) Committee on Women in Psychology Leadership Award The award citation noted that "Dr. Deaux's pioneering scholarship on women and gender combines elegant and rigorous research design with insightful analysis of women's life experiences. Her work has fundamentally shaped the study of gender in all its complexities [...] Dr. Deaux was among the first to direct psychology's attention to the problems of blue-collar women, reflecting her tireless commitment to bettering women's lives." 1993 APA Heritage Research Award 1987 APA Carolyn Wood Sherif Award Research Deaux's research and writing interests center on the social psychological aspects of immigration, and in particular the issues that immigrants face in negotiating identities in new circumstances. Examples of this work include stereotype threat processes among West Indian immigrants in the United States and Turkish immigrants in Germany, the relation of ethnic identity to social/political beliefs, support for collective action and the development of national identity. She has a career-long interest in gender, including issues combining gender and immigration. Deaux began to shy away from traditional research to focus on issues related to sexism in the workplace, feminism and other gender issues. She helped start a Women's Program at Purdue University. Her research on stereotypes and discriminatory practices was used in a US Supreme Court case. Deaux researched men's patriarchal role in society and the earliest mentions of sexist behavior, specifically in religion. Her work compares these traditional roles and behaviors with modern stereotypes and today's gender roles. The practices that Deaux studies include how women rely on men financially and for physical protection. Deaux wrote about immigration and self-esteem and found that immigrants have no regard for White Americans' perception of their culture due to repeat appraisal from members of the same cultural heritage.
