It's publication day for our first paper out of the www.csinequality.org lab completed entirely at NU. To write it, we asked: what research in the social psychology of inequality do we like and why do we like it? The answer is this paper:

Nature Reviews Psychology @natrevpsychol.nature.com · Aug 21

A functional approach to the psychology of inequality

Perspective by Michael W. Kraus (@mwkraus.bsky.social‬), Daniel J. Sanji, Megan E. Burns, Aline da Silva Frost, Iseul Cha-Ju, A. Chyei Vinluan, LaStarr Hollie & Cydney H. Dupree (‪@cydneydupree.bsky.social‬)

go.nature.com/4fMVfVV

a, An example of the deficit-based model of the psychology of inequality, in which psychological processes related to cognition, emotion and motivation influence desirable behavioural patterns that sort people and groups into different levels of resources and opportunities in society. b, An example of a functional model of inequality as domination and resistance. Psychological processes that arise from the structural context promote actions that either support and reproduce structures of inequality or dismantle those structures.

Also, some helpful context is that archiving pre-prints and creating DOIs costs $$$!

If you would like to help offset the cost of keeping this resource that you use running, but don't want to volunteer, another way to support is donating! Either personally or by getting your library involved!

"Our participants identify a misunderstanding of feminism as a concept, specifically that it is only for women."

#AcademicSky #OpenSci #FeministSky

Feminism is about all forms of challenging social, economic and political power taken by a dominant group. Applying a feminist lens to scientific research brings many advantages, such as broadening theoretical perspectives, encouraging collaboration with — and inclusion of — marginalized groups, and widening the scope of research methods. We aim for this perspective piece to provide an access point for why researchers should incorporate feminist approaches in psychological science, what feminist approaches could look like and how researchers can start incorporating them into their own work. In answering the why, what and how of feminist practices, we strive to make working in a feminist way more legible and accessible, with the ultimate aim of cultivating a more comprehensive understanding of human psychology from diverse perspectives. Based on the lived experiences from an anecdotal survey as part of a SIPS hackathon, which revealed a lack of clear conceptual understanding of feminist approaches and feminism, and on our unique viewpoints as eight feminist ECRs working in different domains of psychological science, we propose constructive approaches for integrating feminist values and practices into psychological science. We highlight what possible barriers exist to incorporating feminist practices into one’s own work and how future research can embrace feminist practices. We also provide a short glossary explaining terminology that can support the communication of feminist research as well as a curated checklist of feminist practices to start out with. This perspective piece warmly invites—and promotes—researchers from all backgrounds and experience levels to engage in and contribute to the exploration of feminist values and practices within the realm of psychological science.
