Deployment of intersectionality frameworks in policy design and implementation is a way to ensure that the means and goals of interventions are congruent with target populations’ understanding of their circumstances, their desired outcomes, and their empowerment. In this paper, we examine the ways concepts from psychology have been used to inform interventions and policies, and we use an intersectional lens to suggest improvements to these interventions to be more inclusive in their impact. We review three social policy interventions that were developed based on social psychological research: (1) sexual assault prevention programs based on bystander interventions; (2) so-called “wise schooling” programs, intended to ameliorate gaps in academic achievement stemming from stereotype threat; and (3) programs aiming to foster pro-environmental behavior, specifically, recyling. Following Cole's (2009) recommendations for using intersectionality in research in psychology together with the guiding principles that define Intersectionality-Based Policy Analysis (Hankivsky et al., 2014), we interrogate how the psychological research that provides the foundation for these policies informs them at different points in the policy cycle and suggest alternatives designed to more equitably address these problems. Our analysis shows that these problems demand a multi-level analysis that recognizes intersecting identities.

通过交叉性更好的政策干预

在政策设计和实施中部署交叉性框架是确保干预措施和目标与目标人群对其情况、期望结果和赋权的理解一致的一种方式。在本文中，我们研究了心理学概念被用于为干预措施和政策提供信息的方式，并且我们使用交叉镜头来建议改进这些干预措施以使其影响更具包容性。我们回顾了基于社会心理学研究制定的三种社会政策干预措施：(1) 基于旁观者干预的性侵犯预防计划；(2) 所谓的“明智的学校教育”计划，旨在改善因刻板印象威胁而导致的学业成绩差距；(3) 旨在促进环保行为的计划，具体来说，回收。按照 Cole (2009) 关于在心理学研究中使用交叉性的建议以及定义基于交叉性的政策分析的指导原则（Hankivsky 等人，2014 年），我们询问为这些政策提供基础的心理学研究如何为他们提供信息政策周期中的不同点，并提出旨在更公平地解决这些问题的替代方案。我们的分析表明，这些问题需要进行多层次分析，以识别交叉身份。我们审视为这些政策提供基础的心理学研究如何在政策周期的不同阶段为他们提供信息，并提出旨在更公平地解决这些问题的替代方案。我们的分析表明，这些问题需要进行多层次分析，以识别交叉身份。我们审视为这些政策提供基础的心理学研究如何在政策周期的不同阶段为他们提供信息，并提出旨在更公平地解决这些问题的替代方案。我们的分析表明，这些问题需要进行多层次分析，以识别交叉身份。
