1 Introduction Personality psychology has been generally slow to respond to calls arguing that we must center structural contexts (e.g., racism) when examining psychological processes (Arshad and Chung 2022; Syed 2024; Westberg and Syed 2024). An intersectional framework highlights how structural domains including ethnicity/race, gender and social class are related (Crenshaw 1990), and can guide research on how identities and structures are interconnected.
