“…It was not until 2000 that respondents could choose more than one category, but obviously people have had mixed-ethnic/racial backgrounds all along; we just did not attend to them. The subjectivity and constructed nature of racial/ethnic categories becomes even more apparent when looking internationally, where even in supposedly "culturally-similar" Western Europe we do not seen racial/ethnic categories that bear any resemblance to what is used in the U.S. (Gyberg et al, 2021;Juang et al, 2021;Jugert et al, 2021). Similar problems come up with other group categories: what countries are Western?…”

Reproducibility, Diversity, and the Crisis of Inference in Psychology

Psychological researchers have long sought to make universal claims about behavior and mental processes. The various crises in psychology—reproducibility, replication, measurement, theory, generalizability—have all demonstrated that such claims are premature, and perhaps impossible using mainstream theoretical and methodological approaches. Both the lack of diversity of samples and simplistic conceptualizations of diversity (e.g., WEIRD, individualism/collectivism) have contributed to an “inference crisis,” in which researchers are ill equipped to make sense of group variation in psychological phenomena, particularly with respect to race/ethnicity. This talk will highlight how the lack of sophisticated frameworks for understanding racial/ethnic differences is a major barrier to developing a reproducible, cumulative psychology.

“…For the practical benefit of monitoring health inequities that arise from racism, some argue that we should continue to measure "race" [17]. This however is heavily dominated by the American perspective, and is not common in Europe, where the term race is rarely used [18]. However the European Union Commission has recently provided a framework for disaggregating data by ethnicity and race to quantify discrimination and inequity, with the goal of benefiting the groups they describe [19].…”

Race, ethnicity, and ancestry are common classification variables used in health research. However, there has been no formal agreement on the definitions of these terms, resulting in misuse, confusion, and a lack of clarity surrounding these concepts for researchers and their readers. This article examines past and current understandings of race, ethnicity, and ancestry in research, identifies the distinctions between these terms, examines the reliability of these terms, and provides researchers with guidance on how to use these terms. Although race, ethnicity, and ancestry are often treated synonymously, they should be considered as distinct terms in the context of health research. Researchers should carefully consider which term is most appropriate for their study, define and use the terms consistently, and consider how their classification may be used in future research by others. The classification should be self-reported rather than assigned by an observer wherever possible.

“…By using country of origin as a marker of ethnicity we ascribed ethnic group memberships that may have little relevance for the day to day life of individuals. It was therefore necessary to replicate the findings using individuals' own choices (Jugert et al, 2021;Syed et al, 2018). Ethnic self-categorization was captured with an item that asked about adolescents' sense of belonging to any other groups in addition to the ethnic majority: "Some people feel that they belong to other groups, too.…”

Classroom ethnic diversity, teacher support and peer victimization: Evidence from four European countries

We investigated how classroom ethnic diversity is associated with peer victimization, effects of ethnic minority/majority status, and if individual teacher support can buffer potentially negative effects of ethnic diversity. Using two theoretical perspectives (balance of power, ethnic competition), we hypothesized that 1) peer victimization is more prevalent at intermediate ethnic diversity and less prevalent at lower and higher ethnic diversity, 2) this curvilinear link is stronger for ethnic majority than minority students, and 3) peer victimization at intermediate levels of ethnic diversity is lower when individual teacher support is high. We conducted multilevel analyses based on the first wave of the Children of Immigrants Longitudinal Survey in Four European Countries (CILS4EU). The sample included 18.716 students, nested in 958 classrooms. We found no support for our hypotheses and no overall effect of ethnic diversity on peer victimization. Instead, we observed a complex three-way interaction between diversity, ethnic minority/majority status and teacher support. Peer victimization was highest for ethnic minority students in classrooms with low diversity and for ethnic majority students in classrooms with intermediate diversity and when teacher support was low. We discuss our findings in light the theoretical approaches and underscore the role of teachers as a protective resource.
