Integrating Diversity into Psychology Statistics Courses: Advice, Reflections, and Special Considerations
Ruth V. Walker; Hannah Osborn; Julie Madden; Kristen Jennings Black
Teaching of Psychology, v52 n1 p110-116 2025
Introduction: In an increasingly diverse world, there has been a call for psychology educators to make efforts to integrate diversity into the psychology curriculum. Statement of the Problem: Researchers who have surveyed psychology faculty have found the amount of time devoted to diversity content in nondiversity-focused courses is limited, with faculty citing barriers to integration such as a lack of relevance and time constraints. Literature Review: Educators who have worked to incorporate diversity topics into their courses have found positive outcomes. Teaching Implications: We describe our approach to integrating diversity into an introductory statistics course, highlight lessons learned, and provide special considerations for psychology educators. Conclusion: Integrating diversity-related content into statistics is challenging; however, the effort is worth it, particularly if integrating diversity content into required courses may be the only exposure to diversity students get.
