少数民族研究的质量、数量和发现都是不够的。造成这种不足的一个因素是科学心理学的实践。虽然心理学的原理包括内部效度和外部效度，但在实践中，心理学在研究性学习中强调内部效度。由于许多心理学原理和测量方法没有在不同的人群中交叉验证，选择进行少数民族研究往往更难证明严格的内部效度。因此，心理学过分强调内部效度而不是外部效度，在不同程度上阻碍了少数民族研究的发展。为了增进对少数群体的研究知识，重要的是：(A)所有研究研究都涉及外部有效性问题，并明确说明研究结果适用于哪些人群；(B)认识到不同的研究方法，包括使用定性和人种学方法；(C)在种族比较中审查族裔或种族的心理意义。
The quality, quantity, and finding of ethnic,minority research have been inadequate. One factor that has contributed to this inadequacy is the practice of scientific psychology. Although principles of psychological science involve internal and external validity, in practice psychology emphasizes internal validity in research studies. Because many psychological principles and measures have not been cross-validated with different populations, chose conducting ethnic minority research often have a more difficult time demonstrating rigorous internal validity. Thus, psychology's overemphasis of internal as opposed to external validity has differentially hindered the development of ethnic minority research. To develop stronger research knowledge on ethnic minority groups, it is important that (a) all research studies address external validity issues and explicitly specify the populations to which the findings are applicable; (b) different research approaches, including the use of qualitative and ethnographic methods, be appreciated; and (c) the psychological meaning of ethnicity or race be examined in ethnic comparisons.
