学术界正在努力解决持续的代表性不足和减少不平等。有这么多的多样性增强举措正在进行中，一些在学术界可能会遇到“多样性疲劳”，我们使用的结构来了解多数群体的厌倦情绪对多样性efforts.MethodFor我们的测试目的，我们专注于种族和少数民族代表性不足，并收集数据，从473白色美国学生和教师的四项研究。采用探索性和验证性因素分析和潜在轮廓分析，我们开发和确认最终的6个项目的多样性疲劳量表的单因素结构。我们测量协会与其他既定的措施，并研究了多样性疲劳和教师的支持多样性增强intervention.ResultsResults的支持之间的关联的强度证明规模的可靠性，收敛效度与系统证明的信念，并提供暗示性的证据，歧视效度与包容性的关注和隐式的种族为基础的协会。虽然平均水平的多样性疲劳是低的整体，多样性疲劳分数相关的关注与多样性工作的努力，并显着相关的教师的动机，通过多样性增强课堂activity.ConclusionsDiversity疲劳在学术界是一个抑制在人们的反应或积极性的努力，提高代表性不足的人的经验。这种状态的经验是连接到系统证明信仰，并与关注所需的努力做多样性干预。理解和衡量这一结构对群体间关系的心理学有影响，对致力于多元化项目的校园社区也有实际意义。（PsycInfo数据库记录（c）2024阿帕，保留所有权利）
ObjectivesAcademia is grappling with how to address persistent underrepresentation and reduce inequities. With so many diversity-enhancing initiatives underway, some within the academic community might experience “diversity fatigue,” a construct we use to understand majority groups’ feelings of weariness toward diversity efforts.MethodFor our testing purposes, we focused on ethnic and minority underrepresentation, and collected data in four studies from 473 White American students and faculty. Using exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis and latent profile analysis, we develop and confirm the single factor structure of the final 6-item Diversity Fatigue scale. We measured associations with other established measures and examined the strength of the association between diversity fatigue and faculty’s support for a diversity-enhancing intervention.ResultsResults demonstrated scale reliability, convergent validity with system-justifying beliefs, and offer suggestive evidence of discriminant validity with inclusion concerns and implicit race-based associations. Although mean levels of diversity fatigue were low overall, diversity fatigue scores were related to concerns about the effort involved with diversity work and were significantly associated with faculty’s motivation to adopt a diversity-enhancing classroom activity.ConclusionsDiversity fatigue in academia is a dampening in people’s response to or enthusiasm for efforts that improve the experience of underrepresented people. This state experience is connected to system-justifying beliefs and is related to concerns about the effort required to do diversity interventions. Understanding and measuring this construct has implications for the psychology of intergroup relations, as well as practical implications for campus communities committed to diversity programs.(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved)
