Abstract
ABSTRACTPersistent racial inequities in the field of psychology have resulted in exclusion and marginalization of racially/ethnically minoritized (REM) students. This manuscript discusses the effectiveness of an endeavor to increase admission, recruitment, and retention of REM students, the Scholars Committed to Opportunities in Psychological Education (SCOPE) Program. Study 1 examined the effectiveness of the second implementation of the virtual SCOPE program. Pre-post scores comparisons indicated decreases in perceived stress (d = .82), and increases in self-efficacy (d = .37), GRE knowledge (d = .81), application knowledge (d = .71), perceived application preparation (d = .85), and qualification (d = .53). Study 2 examined outcomes of previous SCOPE programs. Results indicated that the majority of participants were enrolled in a psychology graduate program. Results suggest that while SCOPE can benefit from curriculum modifications, there is initial evidence that SCOPE can make a significant impact in increasing equity in the field of psychology.KEYWORDS: Equitygraduate programsracially/ethnically minoritized students Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.Additional informationFundingThe work was supported by the American Psychological Association.
