In this investigation of a national sample of undergraduate psychology majors, we directly compare the experiences and perceptions of students of color with those of European Americans. Our aim was to identify factors that might contribute to our discipline's educational pipeline, in which the relative lack of ethnic diversity is a recognized problem. We found that students of color and European American majors are similar in a number of ways but also different in others. Students of color are challenged by less encouragement from and interaction with faculty, perceive a lack of respect, and wish to see more attention to diversity in curriculum, research, faculty, and textbooks. It is not surprising that students of color were significantly less satisfied than European Americans with their studies in psychology.
在这项对全国本科生心理学专业的调查中，我们直接比较了有色人种学生和欧洲裔美国学生的经历和看法。我们的目的是确定可能有助于我们学科教育管道的因素，因为少数民族裔的相对缺乏是一个公认的问题。我们发现，有色人种学生和欧洲裔美国专业学生在许多方面相似，但在其他方面也有所不同。有色人种学生受到的教师鼓励和互动较少，他们感到不受尊重，并希望看到课程、研究、教师和教材更加注重多样性。因此，有色人种学生对他们在心理学方面的学习满意度明显低于欧洲裔美国人，这并不奇怪。
