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.

1 INTRODUCTION Personality researchers have reached a critical junction regarding the need to understand how psychological phenomena manifest and differ based on unequal social structures, yet research linking personality with structures remains “limited and fragmented” (Lu et al., 2023, p. 364). Social structures refer to the overarching and inequitable patterns that organize society and shape distributions of power and resources (see Table 1 for definitions of key terms).

When I took over as Editor of Infant and Child Development in 2020, I sought, among other things, to establish the journal as a welcoming outlet for opinions, perspectives and commentaries, as there are few outlets for such work in developmental science. I also wanted to be sure that those opinions, perspectives and commentaries were not just coming from the ‘usual suspects’, those who already held considerable status and access to power in the field.
