尽管研究人员试图了解人群中的心理现象，但定量研究是在较小的样本中进行的，这意味着要代表更多感兴趣的人群。这项系统回顾和定量综合考虑了过去30年《变态心理学杂志》(现为《精神病理学和临床科学杂志》)对社会人口学特征和样本构成的报道。在k=1,244项实证研究中，报告参与者的年龄/发展阶段和性别/性别的比率很高且呈上升趋势，报告社会经济地位/收入的比率较低但呈上升趋势，报告教育程度的比率中等且稳定。性取向的报告率仍然很低，基本上不存在性别认同的报告。参与者种族和族裔的报告率较低至中等，但有所增加。在过去30年的研究中，大约四分之三的参与者是白人，而亚洲人、黑人或非裔美国人、美国印第安人或阿拉斯加原住民、夏威夷原住民或其他太平洋岛民，或者西班牙裔/拉丁裔的比例要低得多。大约三分之二的参与者是女性，这一比例随着时间的推移而增加。对于不同形式的精神病理学，研究参与者的比例作为种族和性别/性别的函数也有显着差异。基础科学和理论精神病理学研究必须包括社会人口学多样化的样本，这些样本代表并可推广到更大的人类群体，同时寻求减少对精神病理学的污名和增加心理健康公平。建议在精神病理学研究和科学审查/出版过程中增加社会人口学多样性。
Although researchers seek to understand psychological phenomena in a population, quantitative research studies are conducted in smaller samples meant to represent the larger population of interest. This systematic review and quantitative synthesis considers reporting of sociodemographic characteristics and sample composition in the Journal of Abnormal Psychology (now the Journal of Psychopathology and Clinical Science) over the past 3 decades. Across k= 1,244 empirical studies, there were high and increasing rates of reporting of participant age/developmental stage and sex/gender, low but increasing reporting of socioeconomic status/income, and moderate and stable reporting of educational attainment. Rates of reporting of sexual orientation remained low and reporting of gender identity was essentially nonexistent. There were low to moderate but increasing rates of reporting of participant race and ethnicity. Approximately three-quarters of participants in studies over the past 3 decades were White, while the proportion of participants who were Asian, Black or African American, American Indian or Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander, or Hispanic/Latino was much lower. Approximately two-thirds of participants were female, with this proportion increasing over time. There were also notable differences in the proportion of study participants as a function of race and sex/gender for different forms of psychopathology. Basic science and theoretical psychopathology research must include sociodemographically diverse samples that are representative of and generalizable to the larger human population, while seeking to decrease stigma of psychopathology and increase mental health equity. Recommendations are made to increase sociodemographic diversity in psychopathology research and the scientific review/publication process.
