摘要

基础社会科学没有独立发展,后来寻求应用;学术编年史的实际动机是不可避免的。历史调查也显示了大量令人不快的起源,包括美国社会科学在优生学中的一贯作用。这不仅关系到我们如何解读过去,也关系到我们如何处理今天驱动我们的动机。我们更容易看到,过去的种族主义冲动是如何导致对证据的误解和糟糕的设计的——但这种顿悟使我们能够回顾一下,我们自己的动机(新的和长期的)是如何继续偏见研究的。从金融到信息技术,今天的新兴产业都建立在社会科学的基础上,但却受到必胜信念的诱惑。学者们的动力是证明我们的研究是有用的——以既能维护现有制度又能改变它们的方式。承认我们不断发展的社会、经济和政治目标有助于消除学术偏见。

Motivations of a Practical Orientation
The basic social sciences did not develop independently and later seek application; the practical motivations that animate scholarly chronologies are inescapable. Historical investigations also show plenty of distasteful origins, including the consistent role of American social science in eugenics. That matters not just for how we interpret the past, but also how we address the motivations driving us today. It is easier to see how the racist impulses of the past drove misinterpretations of evidence and poor design—but that epiphany enables a review of how our own motivations (new and perennial) continue to bias research. From finance to information technology, the rising industries of today are built on social science but tempted by triumphalism. Scholars are driven by proving our studies useful—in ways that can both uphold existing institutions and transform them. An acknowledgment of our evolving social, economic, and political goals can help address scholarly biases.
