摘要
这篇简短的研究报告聚焦于心理学家Leon Kamin,他最著名的研究是Kamin(阻塞)效应。在20世纪70年代和80年代,他在心理学内外都很有名,不是因为实验室研究,而是因为他关于智力遗传性的著作。卡明对政治激进主义并不陌生。他17岁时加入了美国共产党,当时他是哈佛大学的大二学生。1949年,他开始为《工人日报》(笔名:Leo Soft)撰稿,并于1949年至1950年被聘为该报新英格兰区编辑。1954年1月,约瑟夫·麦卡锡(Joseph McCarthy)的反共参议院小组委员会传唤卡明作证,当时该小组正在访问波士顿,并以哈佛获得美国国防部的研究资助为由,证明了其对哈佛的兴趣。卡明拒绝“指名道姓”,他被控藐视参议院。(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA,版权所有)。
Archival Oddities: Leo Kamin Pounding out Copy for the Daily Worker.
This short research report focuses on psychologist Leon Kamin, who is best known for his research on what became known as the Kamin (blocking) effect. In the 1970s and 1980s he became prominent both inside and outside of psychology, not for laboratory research but for his writings on the heritability of intelligence. Kamin was no stranger to political activism. He joined the Communist Party U.S.A. at age 17, when he was a sophomore at Harvard. By 1949, he was writing for the Daily Worker (pen name: Leo Soft) and was employed as its New England editor in 1949-1950. In January 1954, Kamin was called to testify by Joseph McCarthy's anti-Communist Senate subcommittee, which was visiting Boston and justified its interest in Harvard by citing its winning research grants from the U.S. Department of Defense. Kamin refused to "name names" and he was indicted for contempt of the Senate. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved).
