種族歧視是西方社會中存在的重要問題,也是西方社科領域研究的重要問題。本文使用citespace等文獻計量工具對wos系統中2007—2017年種族歧視研究的文獻進行可視化分析,并且重點分析了西方種族歧視研究的知識結構和知識基礎。發現西方種族歧視研究具有很強的實證主義性,形成了以實證心理學為知識基礎,以心理學、民族學、社會學等多學科融合的知識結構。

Racial discrimination is not only an important issue existing in the Western society, but also an important issue in Western social science research.

It has been found that the studies of racial discrimination in the West are strongly characterized with positivism and have formed a knowledge structure based on empirical psychology and a multidisciplinary integration of psychology, ethnology, sociology, etc.
