Although the American Psychological Association has taken a strong antiracism stance, scientific racism continues to be published in psychology journals and scholarly books. Recent articles claim that the folk categories of race are genetically meaningful divisions and that evolved genetic differences among races and nations are important for explaining immutable differences in cognitive ability, educational attainment, crime, sexual behavior, and wealth; all claims that are opposed by a strong scientific consensus to the contrary. These claims remain a serious source of harm through the naturalization of inequality and through support for the work of racial extremists. Contemporary "racial hereditarian research" claims to rest on modern genetics and evolutionary biology and to draw on their methods, such as genome-wide association studies. These new arguments fail to meet the evidentiary and ethical standards of these disciplines for the study of human variation. If psychology adopted standards from genetics and evolutionary biology, the current racial hereditarian work would be ineligible for publication. Actions that the American Psychological Association can take to deal with scientific racism are described. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved).

面对心理学中的科学种族主义：进化生物学和遗传学的教训。


尽管美国心理学会采取了强烈的反种族主义立场，但科学种族主义仍然在心理学期刊和学术书籍中发表。最近的文章声称，种族的民间分类是具有遗传意义的划分，种族和国家之间进化的遗传差异对于解释认知能力、教育程度、犯罪、性行为和财富等方面不可改变的差异非常重要；所有主张都受到强烈的科学共识的反对。由于不平等的自然化和对种族极端分子工作的支持，这些主张仍然是严重的伤害来源。当代“种族遗传研究”声称以现代遗传学和进化生物学为基础，并借鉴了它们的方法，例如全基因组关联研究。这些新论点未能满足这些人类变异研究学科的证据和伦理标准。如果心理学采用遗传学和进化生物学的标准，当前的种族遗传论著作将没有资格出版。描述了美国心理学会可以采取的应对科学种族主义的行动。 （PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2024 APA，保留所有权利）。
