While social psychologists would not hesitate to acknowledge race and ethnicity as central components in social outcomes, they rarely properly account for their influence in many areas of inquiry. This chapter seeks to demonstrate the importance of centering and investigating the role of race, ethnicity, and racism in social psychology. In doing so, we highlight how social psychologists have engaged with race, ethnicity, and racism as part of a social process. On a micro-level, we draw attention to research on family, identities, and ethnic and racial socialization. On a meso-level, we highlight social psychological research that speaks to the role of social contexts and normative institutional arrangements to illuminate how racial composition influences social processes. On a macro-level, we focus on policy attitudes that impact the broader society.

摘要

While social psychologists would not hesitate to acknowledge race and ethnicity as central components in social outcomes, they rarely properly account for their influence in many areas of inquiry. This chapter seeks to demonstrate the importance of centering and investigating the role of race, ethnicity, and racism in social psychology. In doing so, we highlight how social psychologists have engaged with race, ethnicity, and racism as part of a social process. On a micro-level, we draw attention to research on family, identities, and ethnic and racial socialization. On a meso-level, we highlight social psychological research that speaks to the role of social contexts and normative institutional arrangements to illuminate how racial composition influences social processes. On a macro-level, we focus on policy attitudes that impact the broader society. We end the chapter by identifying future areas of inquiry for social psychological research on race, ethnicity, and racism.
