Abstract

For this study, the authors analyzed the contents of 16 psychology journals for the presence of empirical articles on African Americans, Latinos, Asians, and Native Americans during the period ranging from 1990 to 1999. In 6 APA journals, there was a low percentage (4.7%) of such articles. African Americans were the most studied ethnic group. Data collected for this study also indicated that minority research has been increasing more in non-APA journals than in APA journals. In both APA and non-APA journals, counseling-oriented journals had higher percentages of minority articles than did journals of other subdisciplines. Possible explanations, consequences, and suggestions for future research are discussed.

摘要

在本研究中，作者分析了16种心理学杂志在1990年至1999年期间有关非裔美国人、拉丁裔、亚裔和美国原住民的实证文章的内容。在6种美国心理学会（APA）的期刊中，此类文章的比例较低（4.7%）。非裔美国人是研究最多的种族群体。本研究收集的数据还表明，非APA期刊上的少数族裔研究比APA期刊上的增长更多。在APA和非APA期刊中，以咨询为导向的期刊上少数族裔文章的比例高于其他子学科的期刊。文中讨论了可能的解释、后果以及对未来研究的建议。
