Description
Denise Aparecida Passarelli, Táhcita Medrado Mizael, and Júlio C. de Rose surveyed a thin research field: studies of anti-Black bias inside behavior analysis, a branch of psychology built on observable behaviour. Following standard review methods, they gathered 23 empirical studies published across 27 specialist journals between 1964 and 2026. Their 2026 review sorts the studies into surveys, measurement tests, and interventions.
Surveys linked values, mental flexibility, and racial attitudes, while measurement tools based on relational frame theory caught hidden biases that questionnaires missed. Training programs, especially with children, showed early promise in loosening biased associations, but many studies lacked control groups or follow-up. The authors call for a more careful, cumulative research agenda to support antiracist work in the field.
