这篇文章更新了之前的内容分析，发现美国对有色人种女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋和变性人（LGBT）的心理学研究相对缺乏，将研究时间延长到2018年。除了记录有多少这样的研究发生和何时发生，它还考虑了所提出的研究问题、资金来源、影响和期刊渠道。对这一研究领域的更丰富的描述使我们不仅可以从历史上描述美国有色人种的LGBT人群是何时被研究的，还可以描述他们为什么被研究，哪些期刊发表了这项工作，哪些发表的研究最有影响力。我们发现，有关有色人种LGB人群的文献始于1988年，有色人种变性人的文献始于2009年，2009年发生了重大转变，大部分文章都是在最近10年发表的。研究结果表明，美国联邦政府对LGBT研究的资助和支持，以及美国心理协会关注少数群体身份的部门和他们的期刊在最近的增长中发挥了作用。一半的研究调查了心理症状，超过三分之一的研究研究了与持有多种少数民族身份有关的经历和心理过程，其中许多研究集中在这些身份的潜在有害方面。这些发现表明，这一文献有显著的关注病理。未被充分代表的群体包括顺性和变性女性；变性人。老年人;亚裔美国人、夏威夷原住民和太平洋岛民；美洲印第安人和阿拉斯加原住民；以及多种族个体。
This article updates previous content analyses that identified a relative paucity of U.S.-based psychological research on lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people of color by extending the period covered to 2018. In addition to documenting how many such studies occurred and when, it considers the research questions asked, funding sources, impact, and journal outlets. This richer description of this research area allowed us to describe historically not only when LGBT people of color in the United States were studied but why they were studied, which journals published this work, and which published studies were most influential. We found that the literature starts in 1988 for LGB people of color and in 2009 for transgender people of color and that a significant shift occurred in 2009, with the majority of the articles being published in the last 10 years. Findings suggest that U.S. federal funding and support for LGBT research as well as divisions of the American Psychological Association focused on minoritized identities and their journals played a role in the recent increase. Half of the studies investigated psychological symptoms, and more than a third of studied experiences and psychological processes related to holding multiple minority statuses, many of which focused on potentially deleterious aspects of these identities. These findings indicate that this literature has a significant focus on pathology. Underrepresented groups included cisgender and transgender women; transgender men; older individuals; Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders; American Indians and Alaska Natives; and multiracial individuals.
