Psychology and DEI

As you will read, psychologists are very concerned with maintaining the rights and dignity of all people, and work to reduce the influence of bias and prejudice from a psychological lens. When we consider this, it may come as no surprise that the psychology profession is interconnected with diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts. The American Psychological Association (APA) is committed to supporting the rights and dignity of all people and has contributed significant research to help us understand the importance of equitable treatment of all people.
