The call for psychological science to make amends for "causing harm to communities of color and contributing to systemic inequities" (American Psychological Association, 2022a) requires a critical acknowledgment that science itself is not neutral but a sociopolitical and ideological endeavor. From its inception, psychology used science to produce what was framed as incontrovertible "hard" evidence of racial hierarchy, infallible "proof" that white people (i.e., cismale, heteronormative, and economically resourced white people) were superior to Indigenous and Black people. We first trace the historical links between postpositivist epistemology and the ideology of white supremacy in psychological science, showing that although explicitly racist science (e.g., eugenics) has faded, the widely shared and strictly enforced epistemological norms about what is (and is not) "good" science remain entrenched. We then outline three epistemic imperatives to resist this harmful master narrative: (a) embrace humanizing epistemologies, (b) listen and learn from those who have been systematically left out of science, and (c) recognize resistance as normative and necessary. We discuss how these imperatives, rooted in critical, feminist, and antiracist scholarship, disrupt oppression and guide us toward doing science that does good.

研究作为抵抗:命名和拆解“好”科学的主要叙事。



呼吁心理科学弥补“对有色人种社区造成伤害并造成系统性不平等”的行为(美国心理学协会,2022a),需要批判性地承认科学本身不是中立的,而是社会政治和意识形态的努力。从一开始,心理学就利用科学来产生被认为是种族等级制度无可争议的“硬”证据,即白人(即顺性别、异性恋和经济资源丰富的白人)优于原住民和黑人的无误“证据”。我们首先追溯后实证主义认识论与心理科学中白人至上意识形态之间的历史联系,表明尽管明确的种族主义科学(例如优生学)已经消失,但关于什么是(什么不是)的广泛共享和严格执行的认识论规范“好的”科学仍然根深蒂固。然后,我们概述了抵制这种有害的主叙事的三个认识要务:(a)拥抱人性化认识论,(b)倾听那些被系统地排除在科学之外的人并向他们学习,以及(c)认识到抵抗是规范的和必要的。我们讨论这些植根于批判性、女权主义和反种族主义学术的必要性如何瓦解压迫并引导我们从事有益的科学研究。 (PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2024 APA,保留所有权利)。
