Based on a population-representation approach using census data we explored the breadth of research in the Journal of Latinx Psychology (N = 154) and Hispanic Journal of Behavioral Sciences (N = 94) with respect to distribution across states and nationality background of the Latinx’ samples. Over 90% of the empirical studies are based on Latinx samples within the US. Out of those, only 60% provided information specific enough to identify the ethnic background of the sample beyond Hispanic/Latinx or other vague descriptors (e.g., “multiethnic”). With 80% of the samples, Mexicans are overrepresented compared to the population statistics of (documented) Latinx in the US. Findings also reveal an overrepresentation of the Southwest region compared to the overall distribution of Latinx across the US. It is suggested that Latinx journals take a more active role in fostering publications of Latinx subpopulations which are often clustered in regions other than the Southwest.

拉丁裔心理学研究中的族裔多样性内部:出版物分析

基于使用人口普查数据的人口代表性方法,我们探索了《拉丁心理学》(N  = 154)和《西班牙行为科学》(N = 94)关于拉丁裔样本的州际分布和国籍背景。超过90%的经验研究均基于美国的Latinx样本。在这些样本中,只有60%提供的信息足够具体,足以识别出西班牙裔/拉丁裔或其他模糊描述符(例如“多种族”)之外的样本种族背景。与80%的样本相比,与美国(已记录的)拉丁裔的人口统计数据相比,墨西哥人的人数过多。调查结果还显示,与整个美国的拉丁裔总体分布相比,西南地区代表过多。建议拉丁文期刊在培养拉丁文亚群的出版物中发挥更积极的作用,这些亚群通常聚集在西南地区以外的地区。
