Abstract

On May 14, 2022, a gunman walked into a supermarket in Buffalo, NY, and opened fire on the customers, killing 10 and injuring three. The alleged killer published a document explaining he chose a supermarket in a predominantly Black neighborhood to maximize the likelihood of killing Black people. He believed in the "Great Replacement" theory that Jews were conspiring to commit "White Genocide" by having inferior races outbreed the superior White race. The 180-page "Manifesto" relied on a mix of Internet memes, plagiarized arguments from a similar killing in New Zealand, links to White nationalist and antisemitic websites, and citations to scientific publications. Overwhelmingly, the scientific publications cited in the document were from psychology. In this brief article, the author contends that psychologists need to ask themselves why an alleged deranged killer took his inspiration from psychology and not, for example, human genetics. The answer is that geneticists have recognized the responsibility that comes along with inquiry. While researchers are free to pursue any questions they desire, scientific and editorial standards still need to be met for disciplinary integrity. The heart of academic freedom is the ability and responsibility to distinguish responsible scholarship from its pretender. Psychology must do better.

对最近事件的评论。
2022年5月14日,一名枪手走进纽约州布法罗市的一家超市,向顾客开枪,造成10人死亡,3人受伤。被指控的凶手发表了一份文件,解释说他选择了一个以黑人为主的社区的超市,以最大限度地提高杀害黑人的可能性。他相信“大替代”理论,即犹太人密谋实施“白人种族灭绝”,让劣等种族比优等白人多生后代。这份180页的“宣言”的内容包括网络表情包、剽窃新西兰一起类似谋杀案的论点、白人民族主义和反犹主义网站的链接,以及对科学出版物的引用。文件中引用的科学出版物绝大多数来自心理学。在这篇简短的文章中,作者认为,心理学家需要问问自己,为什么一个被指控精神错乱的杀手从心理学而不是人类遗传学中获得灵感。答案是,遗传学家已经认识到探究所带来的责任。虽然研究人员可以自由地追求他们想要的任何问题,但为了学科诚信,科学和编辑标准仍然需要得到满足。学术自由的核心是区分负责任的学术和伪装者的能力和责任。心理学必须做得更好。(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA,版权所有)。
