在最近的现实世界事件中，多样性政策和做法遭到了严重的反弹，这可能会促使人们对包容性努力产生零和看法。这篇文章为制定能够为所有人提供包容性的多样性倡议提供了基于理论的见解，使机构能够在减少反弹成本的同时获得多样性努力的好处。使用包容所有人的框架，我们强调了与占主导地位的群体成员的目标和动机相关的三个显著的、相互关联的反弹来源：(1)对独立性或自主性的感知或实际限制，(2)对现状和色盲的偏好，以及(3)认为种族和其他社会平等已经达成的信念。在整个过程中，我们强调群体间的重点，承认边缘化和占主导地位的群体相互依赖但往往不同的目标和动机。讨论了主流机构(大学、工作场所)作为包容性干预的关键场所的作用。
Recent real-world events in which diversity policies and practices have been met with severe backlash can prompt a zero-sum perception of inclusion efforts. This article offers theory-based insights for instituting diversity initiatives that can afford inclusion for allallowing institutions to reap the benefits of diversity efforts while reducing the costs of backlash. Using an inclusion for all framework we highlight three salient, interrelated, sources of backlash tied to dominant group members' goals and motivations: (1) perceived or actual restriction of independence or autonomy, (2) preference for the status quo and colorblindness, and (3) beliefs that racial and other social equalities have been reached. Throughout, we emphasize an intergroup focus that recognizes the interdependent yet often divergent goals and motivations of marginalized and dominant groups. Mainstream institutions' (colleges, workplaces) role as a critical site for inclusion interventions is discussed.
