Applications of psychology to education and assessment often take for granted Western cultural assumptions about the nature of intelligence, ignore cultural features of human cognition other than language, and liken the influence of socialization on development to biological nutrition. Such oversimplifications can lead to stigmatizing culturally different persons as atypical or deficient and to perpetuating oppressive cultural hegemony. A cultural lens can benefit psychological science by facilitating communication with diverse audiences, channeling new knowledge into social progress, and generating theoretical insights about human behavior and experience, such as linguistic flexibility as a dimension of cognition, social responsibility as a dimension of intelligence, and intimate culture as a filter between larger social representations and the frame of reference for an individual mind.
心理学在教育和评估中的应用往往默认了西方文化对智力本质的假设，忽略了人类认知除语言之外的文化特征，并且将社会化对发展的影响比作生物营养。这种过于简单化的做法可能导致将具有文化差异的人污名化为非典型或有缺陷的，并使压迫性的文化霸权永久化。文化视角可以通过促进与不同受众的交流、将新知识引入社会进步以及产生关于人类行为和经验的理论见解，例如语言灵活性作为认知的一个维度、社会责任感作为智力的一个维度以及亲密文化作为更大的社会表征与个体思维的参照框架之间的过滤器，从而使心理科学受益。
