The collection and use of demographic data in psychological sciences has the potential to aid transforming inequities brought about by unjust social conditions toward equity. However, many current methods surrounding do not achieve this goal. Some function reduce, but eliminate, inequities, whereas others may perpetuate harmful stereotypes, invalidate minoritized identities, exclude key groups from research participation or access disseminated findings. In article, we aim (a) review ethical social-justice dilemmas inherent working with (b) introduce a framework positioned ethics justice help psychologists researchers social-science fields make thoughtful decisions data.
