ABSTRACT

Modern societies and organisations are becoming increasingly diverse, leading many to argue that diversity should be valued because it can benefit teams, organisations and societies more widely. Considerable attention in both organisational and social psychological research has been devoted to so-called pro-diversity beliefs (i.e. the idea that diversity has an instrumental value to groups), and the consequences of these for various outcomes. In this paper, we focus on the role and relevance of PDBs in understanding intergroup relations, and review research on antecedents, consequences, and correlates thereof. We introduce the concept of PDBs more generally before drawing a more directed focus on interethnic relations, thereby contextualising PDBs within theorising on interethnic ideologies and approaches to diversity more generally. Moreover, we delineate potential strategies to facilitate PDBs but also outline boundary conditions, before ending with a discussion of recommendations concerning the practical implications of research on PDBs.

摘要

现代社会和组织正变得越来越多样化，导致许多人认为多样性应该受到重视，因为它可以更广泛地使团队、组织和社会受益。在组织和社会心理学研究中，相当多的注意力都集中在所谓的支持多样性信念（即多样性对群体具有工具价值的想法）以及这些信念对各种结果的影响上。在本文中，我们关注 PDB 在理解群际关系中的作用和相关性，并回顾了关于前因、后果及其相关性的研究。在更直接地关注种族间关系之前，我们更普遍地介绍了 PDB 的概念，从而在更普遍的种族间意识形态和多样性方法的理论中将 PDB 置于背景下。而且，
