In their analysis in a previous issue of , Roberts and colleagues argued that the editors, authors, and participants throughout subfields of psychological science are overwhelmingly White. In this commentary, we consider some of the drivers and consequences of this racial inequality. Drawing on race scholarship from within and outside the field, we highlight three phenomena that create and maintain racial inequality in psychology: (a) racial ignorance, (b) threats to belonging, and (c) racial-progress narratives. We close by exploring steps that journals and authors can take to reduce racial inequality in our field, ending with an appeal to consider the experience of scholars of color in race scholarship and in psychological science more broadly.
在之前一期杂志中的分析里，罗伯茨及其同事认为，心理科学各子领域的编辑、作者和参与者绝大多数是白人。在这篇评论中，我们探讨了这种种族不平等的一些驱动因素和后果。借鉴该领域内外的种族研究成果，我们强调了在心理学中造成并维持种族不平等的三种现象：（a）种族无知，（b）归属感受到威胁，以及（c）种族进步叙事。最后，我们探讨了期刊和作者可以采取的减少本领域种族不平等的措施，并呼吁更广泛地考虑有色人种学者在种族研究以及心理科学中的经历。
