Oates, Gary, and Natalee Gooden. "Self-Directed Work, Black

Project Narrative: Collectively, the five separate research questions

addressed in this project add an intriguing dimension to the issue of

the "protectiveness" vs. "inhibitiveness" of whiteness or blackness to

healthy psychological functioning: i.e., the question of whether the

"self-directedness" of individuals' jobs is an important mechanism

through which such advantages / disadvantages come about. Analyses are

based on data from the National Survey of American Life (NSAL)

augmented by occupational self-direction data from the Dictionary of

Occupational Titles (DOT).
