Although intersectionality has become part of the everyday lexicon, the field of psychology has demonstrated resistance to the theory, which we argue reflects epistemic exclusion. Epistemic exclusion is the devaluation of some scholarship as illegitimate and certain scholars as lacking credibility. We suggest that intersectionality has been epistemically excluded because it challenges dominant psychological norms about the scientific process and has been most readily endorsed by psychologists from marginalized groups. We provide evidence that epistemic exclusion has occurred through formal means (e.g., exclusion from mainstream journals) and informal processes (e.g., repeated misrepresentation of the theory). We use visibility theory to highlight the role of disciplinary power in this process, such that dominant psychologists act as gatekeepers. Finally, we discuss how the epistemic exclusion of intersectionality is a barrier to social issues scholarship and social justice in psychology, and offer structural recommendations for intersectionality's epistemic inclusion.

使用认知排斥和隐形框架了解心理学对交叉性理论的抵制

尽管交叉性已成为日常词典的一部分，但心理学领域已显示出对该理论的抵制，我们认为这反映了认知排斥。认识论排斥是一些学者认为是非法的，而某些学者则缺乏可信度，这使其贬值。我们建议，交叉性已被认识论上排除，因为它挑战了有关科学过程的主流心理学规范，并且最容易得到边缘化群体的心理学家的认可。我们提供证据表明，通过正式手段（例如，从主流期刊中排除）和非正式程序（例如，理论的反复错误陈述）发生了认知排斥。我们使用可见性理论来突出纪律能力在此过程中的作用，以便占主导地位的心理学家担当看门人的角色。包容性。
