Despite notable improvements in theory and methods that center the lived experiences of Black adolescents, White supremacy endures in developmental science. In this article, we focus on one methodological manifestation of White supremacy—sampling decisions that assume Black adolescents are a homogeneous group. We examine overlooked concerns about within-group designs with Black adolescents, such as the erasure of some African diasporic communities in the United States. We first describe the homogeneity assumption and join other scholars in advocating for within-group designs. We next describe challenges with current approaches to within-group designs. We then provide recommendations for antiracist research that makes informed within-group design sampling decisions. We conclude by describing the implications of these strategies for researchers and developmental science.

以黑人青少年经历的异质性为中心：非洲侨民社区群体内设计指南


尽管以黑人青少年的生活经历为中心的理论和方法有了显着的进步，但白人至上主义在发展科学中依然存在。在本文中，我们关注白人至上的一种方法论表现——假设黑人青少年是一个同质群体的抽样决定。我们研究了对黑人青少年群体内设计被忽视的担忧，例如美国一些非洲侨民社区的消失。我们首先描述同质性假设，并与其他学者一起倡导组内设计。接下来我们描述当前组内设计方法面临的挑战。然后，我们为反种族主义研究提供建议，以做出明智的组内设计抽样决策。最后，我们描述了这些策略对研究人员和发展科学的影响。
