- W2188364117 abstract "Non negotiable agenda of any contemporary psycho logical theorizing should be to promote human dignity and dismantle the theoretical constructs that affirm the existing social order. However, it is well documented that empiricist positivist methodology was originally designed precisely to make social transformation and equalization difficult. Research projects are conceptual ized to substantiate the prefigured ethnocentric deduc tions that till today continue to hold, 'those people suf fer from general cognitive deficits as a consequence of cultural inadequacies'. Evidences can be garnered to substantiate that mainstream psychological theorizing is still elitist and skewed against the non Caucasian modes of thought and social relations. For instance, Galtonian axioms are still sought to justify the prevail ing social distribution of cognitive and personality traits across class, gender, and ethnic groups. Rise and support to the IQ testing movement fur ther edged out the humanity from the agenda of psy chological and educational theorizing. Contextualist voices pointing at the erroneousness of the IQ tests in equating cultural difference with cultural deprivation were muzzled by the political declarations of the posi tivists that children of the lower classes and the despised ethnic groups share and perpetuate the men tal characteristics of their classes and groups, while children of the superior classes and favoured ethnic groups share and reproduce the traits of theirs. (Joravsky, 1989; Cole 1996). Widespread endorsement of Herrnstein and Murray's The Bell Curve further con solidates the unabated continuance of the racist ideol ogy in contemporary human science theorizing. Feuerstein and Kozulin (1995) strongly contested the veracity of such socio politically motivated claims: «to present intelligence in this reified way — as a concrete stable quantity — is a scientific anachronism». Challenging The Bell Curve's pessimistic prognosis, they advocate that intelligence is a propensity, a ten dency or the power of the organism to change itself to adapt to a new situation. It is multi dimensional, mod ifiable and amneable to change, the very qualities that have enabled humans to adapt so effectively to a mul titude of environments. Reifying psychological phe nomena not only disavow the possibility of social change and transformation, but also serves the rightist agenda of maintaining existing social hegemony." @default.
