Black feminist scholars have produced compelling frameworks for assessing direct speech behavior, both within and external to Black female speech communities. These frameworks are marginalized in mainstream organizational psychology and educational psychology research on psychological safety. Psychological safety is a concept that positions directness as a marker of contextual comfort. In this article, I center Black feminist theories to analyze how Black girls make sense of their own direct speech behaviors, particularly when they do not perceive the context as psychologically safe. My theoretical objective is to read a rubric of psychological safety popular in educational psychology with and against sociolinguistic, literary, and sociological findings on Black girls’ direct speech performances. My political objective is to call for more critical collaborations and transdisciplinary approaches that consider the cultural realities and societal conditions that might motivate Black girls’ participatory risk and reasons not wholly accounted for in conversations about psychological safety that might move Black girls and women from silence into action. This qualitative inquiry has provided important points of departure for conceptualizing psychological safety in conditions of intersecting oppression.

不要让我被误解：心理安全、黑人女孩的言论和黑人女权主义对直接性的看法。

黑人女权主义学者已经制定了令人信服的框架来评估黑人女性言论社区内外的直接言论行为。这些框架在关于心理安全的主流组织心理学和教育心理学研究中被边缘化。心理安全是一个概念，它将直接性定位为环境舒适度的标志。在这篇文章中，我以黑人女权主义理论为中心，分析黑人女孩如何理解自己的直接言语行为，尤其是当她们认为上下文在心理上不安全时。我的理论目标是阅读教育心理学中流行的心理安全性标题，并反对社会语言学、文学和社会学对黑人女孩直接演讲表演的发现。我的政治目标是呼吁进行更重要的合作和跨学科的方法，考虑可能会激发黑人女孩参与风险的文化现实和社会条件，以及在有关心理安全的对话中未完全考虑的原因，这可能会使黑人女孩和妇女从沉默进入行动。这种定性调查为概念化交叉压迫条件下的心理安全提供了重要的出发点。（PsycINFO 数据库记录 (c) 2020 APA，保留所有权利）
