Textbook Passage: Multicultural psychology is the systematic study of all aspects of human behavior as it occurs in settings where people of different backgrounds encounter one another. Essential to an understanding of multicultural psychology are terms such as race, ethnicity, and culture, as well as issues and controversies related to them. A brief historical perspective shows that racism permeated the field from its early beginnings in research on individual and racial group differences and in the response by ethnic minority psychologists and women to bias in research. Some psychologists suggest that multiculturalism is the fourth force in psychology, meaning that it will have as big an effect on our understanding of human behavior as did psychoanalysis, behaviorism, and humanism. The main premise of multicultural theory is that all behavior occurs in a cultural context. Multicultural issues have gained greater acknowledgment and inclusion in the field of psychology over time, but not without resistance and struggle, as evidenced in the various policies and practices of the American Psychological Association.
