鉴于美国少数民族的比例不断增加，以及心理学历史上依赖于来自欧美人口的理论，监测文化多样性研究的现状非常重要。我们对Hall和Maramba（2001年）关于跨文化（CC）和少数民族（EM）出版趋势的报告进行了为期10年的随访。通过比较1993-1999年和2003-2009年的数据，我们发现，关于CC和EM问题的研究在文献中的代表性仍然不足，特别是在顶级期刊中。美国心理学协会和心理科学协会的期刊反映了这一令人沮丧的趋势，他们的编辑委员会中没有顶级CC和EM作者，这可能表明更广泛地纳入文化多样性研究存在结构性障碍。我们还发现，更少的顶级CC和EM研究人员受雇于心理学系比人们可能希望，反映了CC和EM研究的边缘到更大的领域的心理学内的主导态度。虽然很明显，尽管进行了许多提高认识的努力，但几乎没有取得什么进展，确切的缺陷有点模糊，因为霍尔和马兰巴（2001）使用的CC和EM术语没有完全捕捉到目前心理学中正在进行的文化多样性研究的广度。因此，今后对该领域进行评估的努力将受益于范围更广的搜索词。此外，我们建议，注意重组内不断发展的文化多样性研究领域，并开发新的调查类别的文化多样性的研究，保持对少数民族的地位在美国可能是富有成效的路线前进的心理学作为一门学科。
Given the increasing proportion of ethnic minority individuals in the United States and psychology's historical reliance on theories derived from Euro American populations, it is important to monitor the status of cultural diversity research. We conducted a 10-year follow-up to Hall and Maramba's (2001) report of cross-cultural (CC) and ethnic minority (EM) publication trends. Comparing data from 1993-1999 and 2003-2009, we found that research on CC and EM issues continues to be under-represented in the literature, particularly in top-tier journals. The American Psychological Association and Association for Psychological Science journals mirrored this discouraging trend, and the absence of top CC and EM authors on their editorial boards may point to a structural barrier to broader inclusion of cultural diversity research. We also found that fewer top CC and EM researchers are employed in psychology departments than one might hope, reflecting predominant attitudes within psychology of CC and EM research as peripheral to the larger field. Although clear that few gains have been made despite numerous awareness-raising efforts, the precise deficits were somewhat obscured, because the CC and EM terminology employed by Hall and Maramba (2001) did not fully capture the breadth of cultural diversity research currently underway in psychology. Thus, future attempts to assess the field would benefit from wider-reaching search terms. Additionally, we suggest that attention to reorganization within the evolving fields of cultural diversity research and to developing new categories of inquiry for research on cultural diversity that maintain focus on minority statuses in the United States may be productive routes forward for psychology as a discipline.
