abstract: 'Sociologists'' principal contribution to our understanding of ascriptive
inequality has been to document race and sex disparities. We have made
little headway, however, in explaining these disparities because most
research has sought to explain variation across ascriptive groups in
more or less desirable outcomes in terms of allocators'' motives. This
approach has been inconclusive because motive-based theories cannot be
empirically tested. Our reliance on individual-level data and the
balkanization of research on ascriptive inequality into separate
specialties for groups defined by different ascriptive characteristics
have contributed to our explanatory stalemate. Explanation requires
including mechanisms in our models-the specific processes that link
groups'' ascribed characteristics to variable outcomes such as earnings.
I discuss mechanisms that contribute to variation in ascriptive
inequality at four levels of analysis-intrapsychic, interpersonal,
societal, and organizational. Redirecting our attention from motives to
mechanisms is essential for understanding inequality and-equally
important-for contributing meaningfully to social policies that will
promote social equality.'
