Ocampo, Carlota; Prieto, Loreto R.; Whittlesey, Valerie; Connor, Jane; Janco-Gidley, Julie; Mannix, Sally; Sare, Karen

We reviewed the body of published research in the journal "Teaching of Psychology" ("ToP") concerning diversity issues (e.g., age, race/ethnicity, gender, national origin, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status). Between 1974 and 2002, approximately 7% of articles published in "ToP" substantively dealt with diversity issues, with gender issues being the most frequent topic. "ToP" publications concerning diversity issues have increased across time, especially recently, with the 1999 and 2001 volumes having the highest number of articles. Most of these diversity articles were conceptual in nature rather than empirical studies. The 33 empirical studies published in "ToP" concerning diversity were largely descriptive, exploratory, and atheoretical. We offer an agenda and recommendations for future research and submissions to "ToP" focusing on diversity issues.
