Major is known for her research into social stigma and psychological resilience. Specific subjects she has researched include the relationship between abortion and mental health. For example, she chaired a 2008 American Psychological Association task force on the subject, which found major flaws in many of the relevant studies available at the time. The same panel found that the best available evidence indicated that a single abortion did not increase the risk of mental health problems relative to giving birth. She has also studied differences in self-perception of one’s abilities and performance between men and women. In 2016, she published a study showing that white Americans who identify strongly as white become more likely to support Donald Trump in the 2016 U.S. presidential election if they are reminded that America’s demographics are changing.
