Integrating diverse perspectives in psychological science can enhance innovation in research and allow research teams to better study diverse populations of individuals through an authentic lens. Despite recent efforts to better address issues of race and ethnicity in research samples, the field of psychology broadly-and the area of mathematics cognition specifically-has largely failed to support scientists from diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds. In this essay, we consider the unique contributions that scholars of color can make to psychological research in mathematics cognition. Next, we reveal common challenges faced by scholars of color and challenges to recruiting and maintaining scholars of color in our community with a focus on Black scholars. Finally, we propose actions for diversifying the "pipeline" of promising scholars.
将不同的观点融入心理学科学可以提高研究的创新性，并使研究团队能够通过真实的视角更好地研究不同人群的个体。尽管最近在研究样本中更好地解决种族和民族问题方面做出了努力，但心理学领域-特别是数学认知领域-在很大程度上未能为来自不同种族和族裔背景的科学家提供支持。在这篇文章中，我们考虑了有色人种学者可以为数学认知心理学研究做出的独特贡献。接下来，我们揭示了有色人种学者所面临的共同挑战，以及在我们的社区中招募和留住有色人种学者的挑战，重点是黑人学者。最后，我们提出了使有前途的学者群体多样化的行动方案。
