Area of Science:

  • Social Sciences
  • Psychology
  • Sociology

Background:

  • Couples research lacks diversity, overrepresenting white, middle to upper-income participants.
  • Researchers often do not mirror the diverse populations they study, especially underrepresented minority and historically marginalized (URM-HM) groups.
  • Existing research practices may not adequately empower URM-HM participants.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a framework for emancipatory research practices tailored for including URM-HM couples.
  • To guide researchers in critically reflecting on their engagement with URM-HM populations.
  • To promote research that empowers and benefits URM-HM communities.

Main Methods:

  • Discussion of five critical considerations for emancipatory research with URM-HM couples.
  • Incorporation of practical strategies based on community-effectiveness studies with diverse couples.
  • Emphasis on researcher positionality, understanding of populations, power dynamics, accountability, and benefit to communities.

Main Results:

  • Identified five key areas for emancipatory research: positionality/reflexivity, population understanding, power/empowerment, accountability/voice/engagement, and benefit/systemic change.
  • Provided actionable strategies for implementing these considerations.
  • Highlighted the importance of researcher self-awareness and community-centered approaches.

Conclusions:

  • Emancipatory research is crucial for equitable and empowering engagement with URM-HM couples.
  • Researchers must adopt reflexive and accountable practices to challenge systemic inequities.
  • Implementing these practices can lead to more beneficial and ethical research outcomes for diverse populations.
