Abstract:

The recent Equality, Diversity and Inclusion declaration from the British Psychological Society (BPS, 2017) suggests it’s timely to review the representation of Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) groups in the clinical psychology profession. This article represents one view within the broader complex debate surrounding diversity. This article is not intended to be a systematic review, but rather an update and summary focusing on the representation of BAME groups across the clinical psychology career pathway from undergraduate to applicant for clinical psychology training and qualified clinical psychologist status.

Abstract:

AbstractSocietal relationships of dominant and minority societal groups show that the marginalised minority societal group are not powerless victims of the dominant societal group. The societal groups are positioned within dynamic power relationships shaping their societal engagements. The dominant societal group silences the indigenous community experiences to advance the dominant societal group, by demeaning the minority societal group's societal and cultural knowledge. Minority societal group marginalisation is heard in the young voices of the indigenous community. The identity of the young is flavoured by local, national and global cultures. They articulate their marginalisation by interweaving dominant and minority discourses. Their voices speak of marginalisation in ways that are transferable to many minority and indigenous societal groups.

Abstract:

A large literature has provided evidence that intergroup biases are common in facial recognition. In investigations of faces of different races, research has repeatedly demonstrated an Own Race Bias in which people are more accurate in recognizing racial ingroup compared to outgroup members. The primary goal of this research was to investigate whether participants from typically underrepresented populations in social psychological research (i.e., Blacks, South Asians, and East Asians) show biases in recognition accuracy when presented with ingroup faces and minority and majority outgroup faces. Not surprisingly, across three experiments, participants demonstrated superior recognition for faces of members of their own compared to other races. Although minority participants also demonstrated greater recognition accuracy for majority compared to minority outgroup faces, these effects were much smaller and typically nonsignificant. The implications of these findings for our understanding of basic processes in face perception, and intergroup relations, are discussed.

Abstract:

Abstract. Multiculturalism has been criticized and rejected by an increasing number of politicians, and social psychological research has shown that it can lead to outgroup stereotyping, essentialist thinking, and negative attitudes. Interculturalism has been proposed as an alternative diversity ideology, but there is almost no systematic empirical evidence about the impact of interculturalism on the acceptance of migrants and minority groups. Using data from a survey experiment conducted in the Netherlands, we examined the situational effect of promoting interculturalism on acceptance. The results show that for liberals, but not for conservatives, interculturalism leads to more positive attitudes toward immigrant-origin groups and increased willingness to engage in contact, relative to multiculturalism.

Abstract:

Abstract. De-racialization research suggests that depicting members of ethnic minority groups as gay leads to less stereotypic perceptions of their ethnic group. However, whether the consequences of de-racialization translate into real-world behavior is unclear. In a large “lost letter” field experiment ( N = 6,654) where an email was ostensibly sent to the wrong recipient by mistake, we investigate whether the relative impact of signaling gayness (vs. heterosexuality) differs for Arab (minority) versus Swedish (majority) senders. The results show clear evidence of ethnic discrimination where Arab (minority) senders receive fewer replies (prosocial response) than Swedish (majority) senders. However, there is no evidence indicating that Arab senders would receive a lower penalty for revealing gayness. Implications for multiple categorization research are discussed.

Abstract:

Ruggs et al. (2013) argued that industrial–organizational (I–O) psychologists have “gone fishing” insofar as we (as a field) have neglected conducting research on minority groups in the workplace. They offer interesting and insightful suggestions for researching the seven groups named in their paper. We believe that many of these ideas can be extended to other minority groups as well. It is our sincere hope that the focal article will attract the attention of both new and established researchers interested in studying minority group members' experiences in the workplace. We also hope that the article will validate and motivate researchers who already study these issues and confirm the importance of including minority perspectives in the I–O literature.

Abstract:

One reason White people categorize Black–White Biracial people as Black (called hypodescent) is to maintain the existing racial hierarchy. By creating a strict definition of who can be White, the selectivity, and thus status, of White people increases. Given that racial hierarchies are about the relative status of groups, we test whether perceiving Black groups increases hypodescent by activating fears about shifts in the racial hierarchy (i.e., a majority/minority shift). Indeed, White people rated (Study 1) and stereotyped (Study 4) Black–White Biracial people as more Black in Black groups (but not White groups; Study 2) than when alone. Critically, this pattern was driven by White people relatively high in fear of a majority/minority shift (Study 3a) or those experimentally led to feel this threat (Study 3b). We conclude that Black groups increase hypodescent by activating fears about shifts in the racial hierarchy, posing consequences for racial stereotyping.

Abstract:

Social exclusion is associated with substance use, but the specific link between majority and minority racial group membership and substance use is unknown. We examined how social exclusion among racial majority (White), Multiracial, and racial minority (Native American, Latino, Asian, and Black) college students relates to self-reported alcohol use and motivations. Using the AlcoholEdu for College™ survey, Study 1a reports five factors related to motives for initiating or inhibiting alcohol use. Study 1b analyzes majority, Multiracial, and minority college students’ comparative endorsement of these motivations. Study 2 compares these factors with established belonging scales using a separate undergraduate sample. White, Multiracial, Native American, and Latino students displayed the highest proportion of problematic alcohol use. White students endorsed belonging-based drinking motivations, while Multiracial and Asian students endorsed motivations similar to both majority and minority groups. Native American, Latino, and Black students endorsed abstaining motivations more than other groups.

Abstract:

Much has been achieved and learnt since the ‘Minorities Group’ became incorporated within the Pre-Qualification Group structure, both collectively and individually. In this article, in addtion to introducing the group and its members, members of the group’s committee reflect on the journey so far and highlight some of the challenges that have come to light during this initial stage of development. Many of these appear to mirror common experiences for individuals from minority groups, and thus may provide an opportunity for the profession to further the dialogue on difference and equality whilst hearing some of the voices of trainee and aspiring clinical psychologists from minority groups as they attempt to find themselves and their voice on their pathway to the profession.

Abstract:

Compared to men, women less often attain high-level positions and generally have lower status in society. In smaller groups, the relative influence of men and women depends on gender composition, but research is inconclusive regarding the relation between gender composition and female influence. Studies of nonhuman primates show that when females are in the minority they become more dominant over males, but only when conflict levels are high, because under these conditions men fight among each other. Similarly, here we show, in two studies with mixed gender groups ( N = 90 and N = 56), that women were more dominant in groups with a high percentage of men and high levels of conflict. This depends on gender differences in aggressive behavior, inducing more aggressive behavior in women eliminated this increase in female dominance. Our work reveals that status relations between the genders among nonhuman primates can generalize to humans.

Abstract:

The relationship between perceived minority status (in race and gender) and attitudes toward diversity was investigated with 308 graduate and undergraduate students from the southwestern U.S. (54.5% women, 67.5% nonWhite, whose mean age was 26.7, SD=6.2). Analysis suggested perceived minority status in gender correlates significantly and positively with attitudes toward diversity. Specifically, women who perceived themselves to be of a minority gender were more likely to have positive attitudes toward other cultural groups than women who did not perceive themselves as of a minority. Furthermore, perceived minority status in gender mediated the relationship between sex and attitudes toward diversity. Perceived minority status in race was not correlated with attitudes toward diversity.

Abstract:

The participation of people from ethnic minorities in UK higher education is greater than that of White people. Nevertheless, students from ethnic minorities are less likely to obtain ‘good’ degrees (those awarded with first or upper second-class honours) than are White students. This article discusses some possible causes and implications of this attainment gap. It is equally apparent in graduates who have taken courses by distance learning with the Open University, including those who graduate in psychology, and it is equally apparent in the grades awarded to students who have taken the courses that make up the psychology degree. This pattern may apply to other groups who are the focus of attempts to widen access to UK higher education. It is premature to promote the idea of widening participation in such groups unless they can be guaranteed equity in terms of their subsequent attainment.

The purpose of this study was to explore the lived experiences of sports and exercise psychologists and sports and exercise psychology trainees from minority groups as they practice within the field. The experiences of UK minority sports and exercise psychologists and trainees within the field have not been widely explored in the literature. The lived experiences of three practitioners were explored through the lens of race, sexual orientation and religion. Forty-five-minute semi-structured interviews were analysed using an interpretive phenomenological analysis. The following themes arose from the study: the unseen minority, embed discrimination in sport, improving the field, journey barriers and the qualities of a practitioner. Based on the themes explored future research areas are discussed.

Abstract:

The aim of this research is to establish if there are differences between discrimination attitudes of parents and their children towards various marginal groups (the Chinese, Roma, the rich, the poor, persons of different sex, disabled persons). 849 persons were examined in this research: 310 of children and 539 of parents. The questionnaire of identical form for parents and their children was used to examine these discrimination attitudes. The questionnaire contains the open-type questions and it is the part of questionnaire used in the investigation project of wider range. Independent estimators in the scale from 1 to 6 quantified these qualitative results obtained on the basis of open-type questions, by determine the intensity of these attitudes (in negative direction). So-called Canonical discrimination analysis was used, out of statistical methods. The obtained results show that parents and their children statistically differ significantly in discrimination attitudes towards the Chinese, male persons and disabled persons. Children express discrimination attitudes towards male sex and towards disabled persons, but do not have considerable discrimination attitudes towards the Chinese, but parents express discrimination attitudes towards the Chinese, but do not have considerable discrimination attitudes towards the male sex and towards disabled persons.

Abstract:

Disagreement between numerically larger (majority) and smaller (minority) factions in groups is both common and consequential. For these reasons, there is a long tradition of social psychological interest in the causes and consequences of such disagreement. Early work focused on minority members’ movement toward the majority (majority influence) and majority members’ (negative) perceptions and evaluations of those who refused to move. Later work focused on similarities and differences between majority influence and its mirror opposite, minority influence, and on majority members’ (sometimes relatively positive) perceptions and evaluations of minority members. This paper summarizes current knowledge on these topics and suggests promising avenues for future research.

Abstract:

Blalock proposed that the threat of a minority group toward a majority in sheer size, economic competition, or power will result in an increase in discrimination toward that group. His original formulation of this theory of minority group threat, and its subsequent extensions, has focused almost exclusively on racial minority–majority relationships; however, Blalock asserted that his theory would apply to any minority–majority group relationship. Extensions to religious groups have shown this is likely the case. The current analysis assesses a further extension of minority group threat by reframing the arguments of the theory and adding two additional sources of threat to examine sexual orientation bias. Data from the Uniform Crime Reports Hate Crime Statistics program are used to assess whether the minority group threat hypotheses explain the reporting of sexual orientation bias crimes. The findings indicate that the original formulation of Blalock’s theory does not suffice to explain the reporting of anti–Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual bias crime, but the proposed extensions may explain some of this variation.

Abstract:

Child abuse reporting laws have placed new demands upon law enforcement, human service agencies, and clinicians alike. For the clinician, these demands are compounded when minority children are involved. Few of the standardized measures seem to fit all cultural groups. In our situation the cultural mix involves Hispanic, Mexican, and American Indian children. We found a combination of two projectives, the Draw-A-Person/Draw-A-Family and the Thematic Apperception Test, to fit our multicultural needs. Specifically, we use the D-A-P drawings of the child and his/her family as “plates” and then apply the TAT “tell me a story about this picture” technique.

Abstract:

Introduction: Self-directed violence (SDV), comprising both non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) and suicide, is elevated among sexual minority populations. NSSI age of onset has been shown to impact severity of SDV outcomes. Components of the Interpersonal Theory of Suicide (ITS), which includes perceived burdensomeness (PB), thwarted belongingness (TB), and acquired capability for suicide (ACS), may be useful to understanding NSSI subgroups, especially among under-researched groups such as sexual minority persons. Methods: This study examined subtypes of NSSI and associations with constructs from the ITS. A sample of 473 sexual minority young adults with a history of NSSI completed self-report measures assessing demographics, SDV, and ITS constructs. More than half of the sample (59.7%) reported engaging in NSSI during their lifetime. For suicidal thoughts and behaviors, a majority of the sample reported having thoughts of suicide in their lifetime (87.3%), and one-third reported a lifetime suicide attempt (33.0%). Results: Latent class analysis revealed three classes: (1) lower NSSI, (2) moderate NSSI, and (3) higher NSSI. NSSI age of onset, intensity of suicidal thoughts, suicide plan likelihood, duration of NSSI, and number of NSSI methods differentiated groups. Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA) revealed that the lower NSSI group reported lower PB and TB than the moderate NSSI group. No differences were found for ACS across NSSI classes. Discussion: Results are discussed in terms of their theoretical implications and application for counseling at-risk sexual minority young adults. This study identifies factors associated with subgroups of self-directed violence among sexual minority young adults. Such findings inform gaps in self-directed violence prevention research and clinical practice for sexual minority persons.

Abstract:

AimsWomen from Black and minority ethnic backgrounds have been shown to experience an increased burden of common postnatal mental health conditions and higher rates of involuntary admissions. However, evidence demonstrates disparities in these women accessing perinatal mental health support. Reasons behind barriers to access must be defined and addressed. Our aim was to explore ethnic inequalities in accessing Perinatal Mental Health Services in Southwark (SWK PMHS). We hypothesised that SWK PMHS would meet Royal college of Psychiatrists (RCPsych) gold standards in providing equitable access to care.MethodsThe Trust's local clinical database was used to extract our cohort of women aged 15–44 years with a birth episode in contact with SWK PMHS between September and December 2021. Individual data were collected via local clinical notes system to establish basic measures (demographics and ethnicity) and detailed information (referral outcome, interventions, safeguarding etc). Ethnicity data were compared to King's College Hospital birth records for 2021 and local census data via Office of National Statistics.Results105 patients were analysed in total. Overall, there was poor recording of ethnicity and 6.6% of referrals had no ethnicity documented at all. At the point of referral, there was no clear inequity based on ethnicity, with data appearing reflective of local census and maternity records. However, there were concerning inequities in treatment received by women in minority ethnic groups. Out of four hospital admissions in total, three (75%) of the women were from a Black ethnic group and all were detained. There were fewer referrals for psychology intervention for women in minority ethnic groups compared to women in the White ethnic group, with particularly low numbers of referrals for women in Asian and Mixed ethnic groups (2/35 women). 83% of all antipsychotics prescribed (5 out of 6) were to women from the Black ethnic group with the remainder being women in the White ethnic group. There were 31 safeguarding alerts, with almost half (48%) from women in the Black ethnic group.ConclusionThere were concerning variations in interventions and type of care received by women from minority ethnic groups. Women from Black and minority ethnic groups were underrepresented in accessing psychology intervention though conversely overrepresented for antipsychotic treatment, safeguarding alerts and involuntary admissions.This suggests that contrary to our hypothesis, SWK PMHS is not meeting RCPsych Gold Standards. Our audit findings reflect literature that there are apparent barriers to women from ethnic minority groups accessing certain specialist mental health services.

Abstract:

Vera and Speight's (2003 [this issue]) use of the current Multicultural Competencies (Sue et al., 1998) to criticize all multicultural cultural social justice interventions may be unfair. The author offers some perspectives on shifting the focus of counseling psychology to marginalized groups but advises that minority status and economic realities may impede the shift.

Abstract:

In Western Europe the concept of ‘new racism’ has emerged. The idea of the incompatibility of different cultures is central to this concept, and this idea leads to the abnormalization and exclusion of ethnic minority groups. This paper studies this form of ethnic prejudice and several of its correlates among ethnic majority and minority youth. The results show, first, that majority youth were more prejudiced than minority youth. Second, that among majority youth prejudice correlated positively with personal self-esteem as well as with self-esteem as an ethnic group member, whereas among minority youth a negative association was found. Third, among majority youth positive ingroup evaluation in combination with prejudice was found, whereas among minority youth a more positive ingroup evaluation was associated with less prejudice. Fourth, among majority youth prejudice was very strongly correlated with a measure of social distance, with rate of voluntary inter-ethnic contacts, and with level of outgroup formation. Among minority youth these associations were much weaker.

Abstract:

We explored the impact of social support on revisiting intention of people who were from minority groups, an issue that has largely been ignored in the existing literature. Our sample included 417 people with physical disabilities, or with a low income, foreign brides, or people who were widowed. Structural equation modeling was used to test the hypotheses. The results indicated there was a significant negative effect of leisure constraints on revisiting intention for those without social support. Thus, social support mitigates the influence of leisure constraints on revisiting intention.

Abstract:

The global increase in cultural and religious diversity has led to calls for toleration of group differences to achieve intergroup harmony. Although much social-psychological research has examined the nature of stereotyping, prejudice, and discrimination, and its impact on targets of these biases, little research has examined the nature and impact of toleration for intergroup relations. Toleration does not require that people give up their objections to out-group norms and practices but rather mutual accommodation. Integrating research from various social sciences, we explore the nature of intergroup tolerance including its three components—objection, acceptance, and rejection—while drawing out its implications for future social-psychological research. We then explore some psychological consequences to social groups that are the object of toleration. By doing so, we consider the complex ways in which intergroup tolerance impacts both majority and minority groups and the dynamic interplay of both in pluralistic societies.

Abstract:

Abstract. Growing Muslim minorities in Western societies has sparked debate about which Muslim practices should be accepted, with many people finding certain practices intolerable. Two competing perspectives on this intolerance argue that it represents either principled objections or prejudice. Using four large samples from the Netherlands, we apply latent profile analysis and find four groups of people: two groups that like and dislike Muslims and their practices respectively, but also two groups who are intolerant of some or most Muslim practices without necessarily displaying prejudice. A person-centered analysis of key demographic and psychological variables suggests that the two intolerant groups differ with one group’s intolerance motivated more by anti-Muslim feelings, while the second group’s intolerance is motivated more by principled objections.

Abstract:

This study is an examination of the perceptions of educational psychologists in training (EPiT) and their confidence to be able to challenge inequality, and the extent to which their training year is viewed as having increased their knowledge and understanding of working with ethnic minority clients. Their responses are set within the context of the current practice of London Borough Educational Psychology Services (EPSs). Questionnaires were distributed to EPiTs attending the 1998 National EPiT conference. An EPS questionnaire, based on previous survey responses from an uncompleted research study in 1997 (The European Year Against Anti-Racism), was compiled and posted to all London EPSs. There appears to be a positive shift in EPS practice with respect to service policies on equal opportunities, the instigation and/or contribution to training on anti-racism and ethnic minorities, and high rates of reported involvement with local ethnic minority community groups and equal opportunities working parties,whilst ongoing training in anti-racism within EPSs has declined over the last decade. Confidence amongst current EPiTs in challenging inequality was found to be low, and related to their perceptions of the knowledge and understanding of different cultures, and the appropriateness of their course’s focus on working with ethnic minority clients. Equal opportunity issues identified as requiring increased focus on training courses include: gender, challenging racism, and cultural knowledge of ethnic minorities. Within EPSs and the profession as a whole, the main issues were found to be models of assessment, awareness raising and accessibility to service provision.
