Discussions about diversity and multiculturalism are commonplace in education, organizations, and all levels of public policy and government. The current paper discusses new developments in the psychological literature on the implications of diversity and multiculturalism for intergroup relations by considering: (a) demographic diversity, (b) national policies on diversity and multiculturalism, and (c) ideological beliefs and discourse about diversity and multiculturalism. After considering the nuanced effects of diversity and multiculturalism for intergroup relations, we consider the nature and implications of interculturalism, a new and emerging diversity approach that has received little attention in the psychological literature. We conclude by highlighting the importance of studying diversity across multiple levels of analysis, perspectives, and intergroup outcomes.
关于多样性和多元文化主义的讨论在教育、组织以及各级公共政策和政府中很常见。本文通过考虑以下三个方面，讨论了多样性和多元文化主义对群体间关系的心理学文献中的新发展：(a) 人口多样性，(b) 多样性和多元文化主义的国家政策，以及(c) 多样性和多元文化主义的意识形态信仰和话语。在考虑了多样性和多元文化主义对群体间关系的细微影响之后，我们考虑了跨文化主义的性质和意义，这是一种新的、正在出现的多样性方法，在心理学文献中几乎没有得到关注。最后，我们强调了在多个分析层次、视角和群体间结果上研究多样性的重要性。
