| Abstract: | While prior research has focused on identifying barriers to increasing the number of men in communal or care-oriented fields, there is much less research that explores both racial and gender barriers to increasing men of color's presence in these fields. To assist with efforts to increase men of color's representation in communal fields, the current study focuses on men of color's perceptions of both racial and gender barriers that contribute to this gendered racial gap among men of color in psychology. Drawing from a sample of 68 men of color in psychology doctoral programs, the current qualitative study identified factors that men of color perceived may account for their underrepresentation in the predominately White and majority women field of psychology. Using Consensual Qualitative Research-Modified (CQR-M), participants highlighted four domains (systemic barriers, financial barriers, socialization barriers, and representation barriers) to explain the underrepresentation of graduate men of color in psychology. Implications for career practice and research with graduate men of color are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
