About this resource
This Inclusive Language Guide is written for those working to champion equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) in the spaces where they learn, teach, work, or conduct research.
The document draws directly from the bias-free language guidelines of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (APA, 2020b, 2022a). The guide is intended to be used in conjunction with, not in place of, those guidelines.
Various APA publications also influenced the information presented within, namely the Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Framework (APA, 2021c); numerous policy resolutions and practice guidelines; and the APA Dictionary of Psychology (APA, n.d.). We also relied on articles published in peer-reviewed psychology journals and the collective expertise of subject-matter experts among our staff and APA committees.
Finally, we also consulted recommendations on inclusive language from multiple organizations that represent marginalized groups or specialize in EDI.
Please note that the definitions and explanations in this guide may not align with how the same or similar terms are defined and interpreted under law. This guide is not legal advice, and its definitions are not intended to supplant or substitute for such legal definitions.
