Abstract
Josiah Moses faced repeated rejections from academic positions during 1905-1911 because of his Jewish identity, which at that time was viewed as his race. In 1911, after changing his name, Josiah Morse was hired at the University of South Carolina during the time of explicitly antisemitic Jim Crow. In this article, we reveal the deceptive tactics Moses/Morse used to pass as a White person who was not Jewish with the support of his former doctoral advisor, G. Stanley Hall. We conclude with the examination of the consequences of passing and Morse's influence in psychology and other communities. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved).
在1905年至1911年期间,约西亚·摩西因为他的犹太人身份,在当时被视为他的种族,而多次遭到学术职位的拒绝。1911年,改了名字后,乔赛亚·莫尔斯被南卡罗莱纳大学聘用,当时反犹太的吉姆·克劳政策明显盛行。在这篇文章中,我们揭示了摩西/莫尔斯在他的前博士导师G. Stanley Hall的支持下,作为一个非犹太人的白人而使用的欺骗策略。最后,我们将考察通过考试的后果以及莫尔斯在心理学和其他领域的影响。(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA,版权所有)。
