种族、性别和年龄等术语被认为反映了生物学特征和差异。在心理学研究中,这些术语通常被视为一组有意义的心理构念的反映。对30多年来3家著名期刊文章的回顾表明,这些假定的生物标识符没有得到一致的使用,缺乏经验和概念上的有效性。对这些文章的分析表明,随着时间的推移,“种族”一词已经让位于更一般的、与心理相关的术语“种族”、“性别”和“性别”被交替使用,而隐藏在年龄背后或被认为反映在年龄中的心理结构很少被讨论。建议社会心理研究人员和编辑对这些术语采用一致的定义,并建议研究包括努力确定研究人员认为在使用这些标签报告研究结果时这些区别中反映的潜在概念。
Terms such as race, sex, and age are assumed to reflect biological characteristics and distinctions. In psychological research, these terms are often treated as if they were a reflection of a meaningful set of psychological constructs. A review of articles in 3 prominent journals over a 30-year period reveals that these supposed biological identifiers are not used consistently and lack empirical and conceptual validity. An analysis of those articles shows that, over time, the term race has given way to the use of the more general and psychologically relevant term ethnicity, sex and gender have been used interchangeably, and the psychological constructs underlying or supposedly reflected in age are seldom discussed. It is proposed that psychosocial researchers and editors adopt a consistent definition of these terms and that research include an effort to identify the underlying concepts that the investigators assume to be reflected in these distinctions whenever these labels are used to report research findings.
