The Psychology of Inequity: Motivation and Beliefs

Contributors: Chin, Jean; Garcia, Yolanda; Blume, Arthur;
Abstract: Inequities still exist in today's society, and this book advances awareness, an equitable mindset, and transformative change toward the goal of eliminating inequities and promoting inclusiveness and social justice.Racialized inequity is injustice or unfairness and exists when prejudice or discrimination based on any aspect of difference precludes access of certain groups to the resources and benefits of society. This volume takes a new look at the psychology of inequity today. Have we progressed or regressed since the height of the civil rights movement of the 1960s? Through an examination of the motivations and beliefs behind inequities and injustices, this text aims to answer this question and any others that a scholar or general reader interested in social inequities and multiculturalism may have. Chapters address the motives that sustain inequity and reflect on the beliefs and behaviors linked to implicit responses to threats of change and loss of privilege posed by the inclusion of "others."Includes cutting-edge scholarship addressing racial inequitiesProvides contemporary examples of racial inequity viewed through new psychological lensesReviews the intersection of racial, economic, and mental health inequity among BIPOC citizensAddresses contemporary expressions of privilege and their relationships to social inequitiesIntroduces transformational approaches to improving education and health care
