White men remain overrepresented in the American judiciary (i.e., the bench) despite increasing demographic diversity among law students and lawyers. Augmenting efforts to tackle systemic barriers, a social cognitive process model integrating Goal Congruity and Cultural Mismatch Theories to partially explain why women, first‐generation, and underrepresented racial minority (URM) lawyers are less likely to pursue and thrive in judicial roles was proposed. The unexplored misalignment between the goals and values typically endorsed by eligible underrepresented judicial candidates and their perceptions of judgeship was addressed. Specifically, women, first‐generation, and URMs tend to endorse primarily communal/interdependent goals and values, while judgeship is viewed as a stereotypically agentic/independent profession. Thus, judicial diversity could be enhanced by (1) highlighting role attributes that are aligned with communal/interdependent values and (2) increasing appreciation for existing judicial communality/interdependence. It was concluded by providing hypothesized interventions to target key psychological mechanisms along the “leaky pipeline” to the judiciary.

替补席多元化:运用社会认知理论增强司法多样性

尽管法学学生和律师之间的人口差异不断增加,但白人在美国司法机构(即替补席)中的任职人数仍然过多。增强解决系统障碍的努力,融合了目标一致性文化不匹配理论的社会认知过程模型提出了部分解释为什么女性,第一代和代表性不足的少数民族律师(URM)不太可能追求司法程序并在司法角色中蓬勃发展的建议。合格的代表性不足的司法候选人通常认可的目标与价值观之间存在无法探索的错位,解决了他们对法官资格的看法。具体来说,女性,第一代人和URM倾向于主要认可社区/相互依存的目标和价值观,而评判则被视为刻板印象的代理/独立职业。因此,可以通过(1)突出显示与社区/相互依存的价值观相一致的角色属性,以及(2)增加对现有司法社区/相互依存的认识来增强司法多样性。
