About Paper:

Current publication practices within psychology are often biased, favoring dominant over marginalized samples. The overrepresentation of White and western countries in high- ranking journals has negative consequences, including neglecting valuable research and overgeneralizing the psychological experiences of these groups to all humans. Some psychology journals now require authors to specify sample characteristics in their titles. Designing effective policies is challenging, however, due to a lack of evidence regarding how this specificity impacts readers. Our research assesses how various individuals might react to literature titles with different sample characteristics: (1) a control title with no sample characteristics, (2) a dominant sample title (e.g., "among White participants''), and (3) a marginalized sample title (e.g., "among Black Participants"). In Study 1, participants evaluated study titles in a within-subjects design, but we observed some order effects. In Study 2, we will therefore use a between-subjects design. Participants will rate how important, applicable, and legitimate they find a study based on its title, and how much they desire to read a summary of that research.
