长期以来，社会科学和行为科学一直受到用于研究各种现象的样本缺乏多样性的困扰。在试图走向一个更上下文知情的方法，多个子领域进行了元科学研究的多样性和包容性的代表性不足的群体在他们的文学作品。目前的研究是一个系统的审查领域的关系科学，旨在研究国家的多样性和包容性在这一领域。回顾了2014-2018年在五种顶级关系科学期刊上发表的以研究为重点的论文（N = 559篇文章，包含771项独特研究）。研究按研究方法进行编码（例如，样本源、二元数据、观测数据、实验设计）和样本特征（例如，年龄、教育、收入、种族/民族、性取向）。结果表明，在浪漫关系的研究中，模态参与者是30岁，白色，美国，中产阶级，受过大学教育，并参与了不同性别，同种族的关系。此外，只有74项研究（10%）关注传统上代表性不足的群体（即，非白人、低收入和/或性和性别少数群体）。研究结果强调，需要更多的代表性不足的群体，以确保关系科学的有效性和可信度。最后，我们对该领域提出了一般性建议。
The social and behavioral sciences have long suffered from a lack of diversity in the samples used to study a broad array of phenomena. In an attempt to move toward a more contextually-informed approach, multiple subfields have undertaken meta-science studies of the diversity and inclusion of underrepresented groups in their body of literature. The current study is a systematic review of the field of relationship science aimed at examining the state of diversity and inclusion in this field. Relationship-focused papers published in five top relationship science journals from 2014–2018 (N = 559 articles, containing 771 unique studies) were reviewed. Studies were coded for research methods (e.g., sample source, dyadic data, observational data, experimental design) and sample characteristics (e.g., age, education, income, race/ethnicity, sexual orientation). Results indicate that the modal participant in a study of romantic relationships is 30 years old, White, American, middle-class, college educated, and involved in a different-sex, same-race relationship. Additionally, only 74 studies (10%) focused on traditionally underrepresented groups (i.e., non-White, low-income, and/or sexual and gender minorities). Findings underscore the need for greater inclusion of underrepresented groups to ensure the validity and credibility of relationship science. We conclude with general recommendations for the field.
