Abstract

Critics have faulted the project of general psychology for conceptions of general truth that (1) emphasize basic processes abstracted from context and (2) rest on a narrow foundation of research among people in enclaves of Eurocentric modernity. Informed by these critiques, we propose decolonial perspectives as a new scholarly imaginary for general psychology Otherwise. Whereas hegemonic articulations of general psychology tend to ignore life in majority-world communities as something peripheral to its knowledge project, decolonial perspectives regard these communities as a privileged site for general understanding. Indeed, the epistemic standpoint of such communities is especially useful for understanding the coloniality inherent in modern individualist lifeways and the fundamental relationality of human existence. Similarly, whereas hegemonic articulations of general psychology tend to impose particular Eurocentric forms masquerading as general laws, the decolonial vision for general psychology Otherwise exchanges the universalized particular for a more pluralistic (or pluriversal) general.

普通心理学:一种非殖民化的表达
批评人士认为,一般心理学的普遍真理概念(1)强调从语境中抽象出来的基本过程,(2)建立在对欧洲中心现代性飞地中的人们进行研究的狭隘基础上。根据这些批评,我们提出非殖民视角作为普通心理学的一种新的学术想象。然而,普通心理学的霸权表述倾向于忽视多数世界社区的生活,将其视为其知识项目的外围,而非殖民化的观点则将这些社区视为普遍理解的特权场所。事实上,这些社区的认识论立场对于理解现代个人主义生活方式中固有的殖民性和人类存在的基本关系尤其有用。同样,尽管普通心理学的霸权表述倾向于将伪装成一般规律的特定欧洲中心形式强加于人,但普通心理学的非殖民化愿景将普遍化的特殊形式换成了更多元(或多元)的一般。

The journal contains articles that advance theory, evaluate and integrate research literatures, provide a new historical analysis, or discuss new methodological developments in psychology as a whole.
