长期以来，心理学家一直关注服务不足人群的福利和有效治疗。然而，心理学研究中使用的术语并不总是有利于文化敏感性。本文讨论了为什么术语非白人可能是不太敏感的不同人群，并提供了实际的替代方案，这种命名法。此外，作者还研究了2008年至2012年的文献，以确定非白人一词是否仍被用于描述心理研究中的人群。文章最后提出了一些建议，研究人员可以选择如何使用文化敏感和相关的语言来识别人群。
Psychologists have long been concerned with the welfare and competent treatment of underserved populations. However, terminology used in psychological research is not always conducive to cultural sensitivity. This article discusses why the term non-white may be less sensitive to diverse populations and provides practical alternatives to this nomenclature. In addition, the authors examine the literature from 2008 to 2012 to establish whether the term non-white is still used to describe populations in psychological research. The article concludes with several recommendations for how researchers could choose to proceed in regards to identifying populations using culturally sensitive and relevant language.
