Short Description of your Research or Creative Project (700 characters or less)

Researchers have noted a historical lack of coverage of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) topics in Psychology Research Methods courses (RMCs). We hypothesize that Psychology RMCs’ coverage of DEI will be positively correlated with indicators of academic integration and negatively correlated with minority stress, especially for marginalized students (e.g., students of color). DEI in RMCs were associated with greater science identities and networking in white students and perceptions of positive campus climate for all students. However, for students of color, DEI in RMCs were associated with a greater number of social climate stresses. Given the small sample, more research is needed.
