Personality science is the study of the individual. It aims to understand what makes people similar to others, different from some, and unique to themselves. However, there is room for research in personality to more thoughtfully consider culture, race, and ethnicity in order to better understand individual differences in people’s patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving. High impact personality journals rarely include such factors into the interpretation of results, and cross-cultural and ethnic minority publications are limited within the discipline. This article offers a brief, non-exhaustive overview of how culture, race, and ethnicity are examined in relation to personality, showing that: (1) social structures continue to be neglected in the research, (2) we can learn from research being conducted in neighboring areas, and (3) valuable work is already being done within personality psychology. We offer recommendations that emphasize community based participatory research methods, combined etic-emic approaches, and contextualizing research findings to improve the consideration of culture, race, and ethnicity in personality research.

在人格心理学中考虑文化、种族和民族的实用建议

人格科学是对个体的研究。它旨在了解是什么让人们与其他人相似，与某些人不同，并且对自己独特。然而，人格研究仍有空间更深思熟虑地考虑文化、种族和民族，以便更好地了解人们思维、感觉和行为模式的个体差异。高影响力的人格期刊很少将这些因素纳入结果的解释中，跨文化和少数民族的出版物在学科范围内受到限制。本文简要介绍了文化、种族和民族如何与人格相关的研究，表明：（1）社会结构在研究中继续被忽视，（2）我们可以从研究中学到在邻近地区进行，(3) 有价值的工作已经在人格心理学中进行。我们提供的建议强调以社区为基础的参与式研究方法、结合伦理学方法和情境化研究结果，以改进人格研究中对文化、种族和民族的考虑。
