Despite increased popular and academic interest, there is conceptual ambiguity about what allyship is and the forms it takes. Viewing allyship as a practice, we introduce the which organizes the diversity of ways that advantaged individuals seek to support those who are disadvantaged. We characterize as reactive (addressing bias when it occurs) and proactive (fostering positive outcomes such as feelings of inclusion, respect, and capacity), both of which can vary in level of analysis (i.e., targeting oneself, one or a few other individuals, or institutions). We use this framework to profile six productive yet largely independent bodies of social psychological literature on social action and directly compare relative benefits and constraints of different actions. We suggest several future directions for empirical research, using the typology of allyship to understand when, where, and how different forms of allyship might succeed.
Despite increased popular and academic interest in the word, people differ in what they believe allyship is and the forms it takes. Viewing allyship as a practice, we introduce a new way (the ) to describe how advantaged individuals seek to support those who are disadvantaged.

We use this framework to profile six large yet mostly separate areas of social psychological research on social action and directly compare the relative benefits and limitations of different actions. We suggest several future directions for how the typology of allyship action can help us understand when, where, and how different forms of allyship might succeed.
尽管公众和学术界的关注度有所提高，但关于盟友关系是什么以及它所采取的形式存在概念上的模糊性。将盟友关系视为一种实践，我们引入了[具体内容未给出]，它梳理了优势个体寻求支持弱势群体的多种方式。我们将[具体内容未给出]描述为反应性的（在偏见出现时加以应对）和主动性的（促进诸如包容感、尊重感和能力感等积极结果），这两者在分析层面上都可能有所不同（即针对自身、一个或几个其他个体或机构）。我们使用这个框架来概述关于社会行动的六个富有成效但在很大程度上相互独立的社会心理学文献主体，并直接比较不同行动的相对益处和限制。我们提出了几个实证研究的未来方向，利用盟友关系的类型学来理解不同形式的盟友关系何时、何地以及如何可能取得成功。
