ABSTRACT

Objective

This study assessed perceptions of Clinical Psychology doctoral programs’ efforts to recruit and retain faculty and graduate students of color, as well as differences in perceptions based on participants’ position within their program (i.e. graduate student versus faculty) and race.

Method

Participants (n = 297; 35% people of color; 79% female; mean age: 32) were graduate students and faculty from Clinical Psychology doctoral programs who completed an anonymous online survey about their programs’ efforts to recruit and retain graduate students and faculty of color; sense of belonging and perceptions of racial discrimination within programs; and experiences of cultural taxation and racism within programs.

Results

Faculty (n = 95) reported significantly greater perceptions of recruitment and retention efforts and fewer perceptions of racial discrimination than did graduate students (n = 202). Asian (n = 31), Black (n = 25), and Latinx (n = 35) participants reported significantly fewer perceptions of recruitment and retention efforts, less sense of belonging, and greater perceptions of racial discrimination than did White participants (n = 192). Cultural taxation was common among participants of color, and approximately half (47%) reported they have considered leaving academia – and approximately one third (31%) have considered leaving their program – due to experiences of racism in their program or field.

Conclusions

Cultural taxation and racial discrimination were common among scholars of color in this sample. Whether intentional or not, these experiences contribute to racially-toxic environments and negatively impact the racial diversity of the mental health workforce.

真正的改变还是表演性的反种族主义？临床心理学项目招募和留住 BIPOC 学者的努力

摘要

客观的

这项研究评估了临床心理学博士项目在招募和留住有色人种教师和研究生方面所做的努力的看法，以及基于参与者在项目中的地位（即研究生与教师）和种族的看法差异。

方法

参与者（n  = 297；35% 有色人种；79% 女性；平均年龄：32）是临床心理学博士项目的研究生和教师，他们完成了一项匿名在线调查，了解其项目在招募和留住研究生和教师方面的努力颜色；项目内的归属感和种族歧视观念；以及项目中文化税和种族主义的经历。

结果

与研究生 ( n = 202) 相比，教职员工 ( n  = 95) 对招聘和保留工作的看法明显更高，而对种族歧视的看法则更少 。与白人参与者相比，亚裔 ( n  = 31)、黑人 ( n  = 25) 和拉丁裔 ( n  = 35) 参与者对招聘和留住工作的看法明显较少，归属感较差，对种族歧视的看法也较严重 (n = 35 ) = 192）。文化税在有色人种参与者中很常见，大约一半（47%）的人表示，由于他们的项目或领域遭受过种族主义的经历，他们已经考虑离开学术界，大约三分之一（31%）已经考虑离开他们的项目。

结论

文化税和种族歧视在样本中的有色人种学者中很常见。无论是有意还是无意，这些经历都会造成种族毒性环境，并对心理健康劳动力的种族多样性产生负面影响。
