These adaptations enhanced the survival and reproductive success of our ancestors, thereby becoming embedded in the...

Area of Science:

  • Psychological Science
  • Sociology of Science
  • Racial Inequality Studies

Background:

  • Previous analysis revealed a lack of racial diversity among editors, authors, and participants in psychological science.
  • This racial homogeneity raises concerns about representation and inclusivity within the field.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the drivers and consequences of racial inequality in psychological science.
  • To propose actionable steps for journals and authors to mitigate racial disparities.
  • To integrate insights from race scholarship to inform these proposed solutions.

Main Methods:

  • The study is a commentary analyzing existing research and scholarship on race.
  • It draws on race scholarship from within and outside the field of psychology.
  • It identifies key phenomena contributing to racial inequality.

Main Results:

  • Identified three primary phenomena perpetuating racial inequality: racial ignorance, threats to belonging, and racial-progress narratives.
  • Highlighted the interconnectedness of these phenomena in maintaining the status quo.
  • Emphasized the need for proactive interventions.

Conclusions:

  • Journals and authors can implement specific strategies to foster greater racial equity.
  • Addressing racial ignorance and enhancing a sense of belonging are crucial.
  • A critical examination of racial-progress narratives is necessary to dismantle systemic barriers.
