交叉性已经成为心理学中的一个时髦词，在整个社会科学的女权主义著作中也很有名。在交叉性的不同定义中，我们发现三个共同的假设：（1）人们认识到所有人都同时具有多个社会类别的特征，这些类别是相互关联或交织的。(2)在每一个类别中，都有一个不平等或权力的维度。(3)这些范畴既是个体的属性，也是这些个体所处的社会环境的特征;因此，范畴及其意义可能是流动的和动态的。将交叉性理解为一种方法和批判理论，而不是一种可证伪的理论，我们认为它在使用定量方法的研究中具有潜力。我们讨论实证主义，社会建构主义和立场认识论，以研究这些认识论的研究方法的影响，并探讨如何兼容的交叉方法可能与每个。着眼于扩大妇女心理学中的交叉方法的纳入，我们讨论了定量方法和交叉性相结合的挑战和潜力。我们认为，定量方法可以在一个交叉的方法，这样做将扩大和发展的交叉性研究，只要更多的研究工具将提供给交叉性研究人员。我们还主张，定量研究人员应该将交叉方法纳入他们的工作，这样做将丰富和深化我们对心理结构和过程的理解。
Intersectionality has become something of a buzzword in psychology and is well-known in feminist writings throughout the social sciences. Across diverse definitions of intersectionality, we find three common assumptions: (1) There is a recognition that all people are characterized simultaneously by multiple social categories and that these categories are interconnected or intertwined. (2) Embedded within each of these categories is a dimension of inequality or power. (3) These categories are properties of the individual as well as characteristics of the social context inhabited by those individuals; as such, categories and their significance may be fluid and dynamic. Understanding intersectionality as an approach and critical theory, rather than as a falsifiable theory, we consider its potential within research using quantitative methods. We discuss positivism, social constructionism, and standpoint epistemology in order to examine the implications of these epistemologies for research methods and to explore how compatible an intersectional approach may be with each. With an eye toward expanding the incorporation of intersectional approaches in the psychology of women, we discuss both the challenges and the potential of combining quantitative methods and intersectionality. We contend that quantitative methods can be used within an intersectional approach and that doing so will expand and develop the study of intersectionality, insofar as more research tools will be available to intersectionality researchers. We also contend that quantitative researchers should incorporate an intersectional approach into their work and that doing so will enrich and deepen our understanding of psychological constructs and processes.
