What American psychology needs most is the majority world: Reply to Webster et al. (2021)


Thalmayer, Amber Gayle; Toscanelli, Cecilia; Arnett, Jeffrey Jensen (2021). What American psychology needs most is the majority world: Reply to Webster et al. (2021). American Psychologist, 76(5):806.

Abstract

Webster and team’s (2021) extension of our analysis to look at more journals over a longer time period suggests a slightly quicker trend away from Americanness in psychological journals than we found. However, they make a purely binary distinction between American and not American and do not address whether the change they document includes the most relevant increase in representation: that from the majority world. Overall we concur that the pace of change is slow and that our science would be benefited by increased attention to internationalization.
