Abstract

Psychologists' work was cited in the Supreme Court case of Brown v. Board of Education (1954). One criticism of the citation was that psychology could be used to overturn the Brown decision and return the country to segregation. A historical examination of such an attempt to overturn Brown in the early 1960s on the basis of new psychological knowledge shows that psychology was not persuasive in the face of the civil rights movement. The failure of segregationists to overturn Brown with psychological experts underscores how psychology is ineluctably bound to the larger society.

摘要

心理学家的工作在最高法院的布朗诉托皮卡教育局案（1954年）中被引用。对这一引用的一种批评是，心理学可能会被用来推翻布朗案的判决，使国家回到种族隔离状态。对20世纪60年代初基于新的心理学知识试图推翻布朗案的历史考察表明，面对民权运动，心理学并不具有说服力。种族隔离主义者未能借助心理学专家推翻布朗案，这凸显了心理学与更广泛社会之间不可避免的联系。
