In 2021, the American Psychological Association (APA) passed a series of resolutions that initiated a process of atonement for its participation in promoting, perpetuating, and failing to challenge racism and discrimination toward communities of color (APA, 2021a, 2021b). The purpose of this special issue was to examine the ways in which the field of psychology has perpetuated racial hierarchy and harm toward communities of color. More importantly, the included articles offer guidance on the mechanisms and strategies that will aid in the dismantling of racism in the field of psychology and support efforts of reconciliation, repair, and healing. In this introduction, we present a brief history of racism in the field of psychology and highlight theories and methods that should be considered as efforts to combat systemic racial inequities. Articles in this special issue fall into four specific themes that include bias and scientific racism in research, intergroup collaboration, organizational and clinical implications, and changing the culture of psychology.

消除心理学及其他领域的种族主义：特刊简介。


2021 年，美国心理学会 (APA) 通过了一系列决议，启动了对其参与促进、延续和未能挑战针对有色人种群体的种族主义和歧视的赎罪程序（APA，2021a，2021b）。本期特刊的目的是探讨心理学领域如何延续种族等级制度以及对有色人种社区的伤害。更重要的是，其中包含的文章提供了有关机制和策略的指导，这些机制和策略将有助于消除心理学领域的种族主义，并支持和解、修复和治愈的努力。在这篇引言中，我们介绍了心理学领域种族主义的简史，并重点介绍了应被视为对抗系统性种族不平等的理论和方法。本期特刊的文章分为四个具体主题，包括研究中的偏见和科学种族主义、群体间合作、组织和临床影响以及改变心理学文化。 （PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2024 APA，保留所有权利）。
