| Abstract: | Labeling theorists have argued that members of disadvantaged groups are disproportionately likely to be labeled negatively, but the authors find that in some situations members of disadvantaged groups may, in fact, be less likely than others to be labeled for the same actions. In neonatal intensive care units (NICUs), the authors argue, the process of sorting and evaluating parents of NICU patients varies with the gender, age, and race of the parents and depends on what those characteristics are taken to mean in the context of the organization. |
