“…More importantly, the influence of intersecting sociocultural identities in the lives and experiences of African Americans, and others, should be examined (Cole, 2009). Various forms of oppression (e.g., racism and sexism) do not occur in a vacuum but instead dynamically influence one another (Jackson, 2001). Future research may elucidate a model that more fully explains the influence of sociocultural factors on career aspirations among African Americans.…”

The present study examined the relative influence of aspects of internalized racism on the career aspirations of a sample of African American adults. Participants (N ¼ 315), ranging in age from 18 to 62 years, completed measures of internalized racism and career aspirations online. A hierarchical multiple regression analysis was conducted to examine the relative influence of internalized racism. Regression results indicated that participants who devalued and dismissed an African worldview and its themes had lower career aspirations.

“…Of course, that later studies have shown the psychological findings of the 1950s are in error is completely irrelevant to the historical judgment as to whether those findings were reasonable claims in the 1950s. On this point, see Jackson (2000, 2001). 5…”

In a recent article, Howard H. Kendler (2002) criticized Kenneth B. Clark and the other social scientists who worked in Brown v. Board of Education for polluting their science with value judgments. This article argues that Kendler's critique is misguided because it conflates a policy judgment with a value judgment. In addition, Kendler inconsistently applied his own standard of objectivity when he examined in the social science used in Brown.

“…In the North, SPSSI leaders like Goodwin Watson created the Springfield Plan, a social psychological remedy for intergroup conflict and prejudice. For the South, SPSSI provided the social science support for the plaintiffs’ brief in Brown v. Board of Education (Jackson, 2005). The psychiatrists in GAP, in turn, analyzed hard-core segregationists as suffering from a form of mental illness and released a report to that effect (GAP, 1957).…”

Jewish Quotas in Clinical Psychology? The Journal of Clinical Psychology and the Scandal of 1945

Review of General Psychology

In 1945 Frederick Thorne, editor of the Journal of Clinical Psychology, proposed to limit the acceptance of Jewish applicants to clinical psychology graduate schools. A public scandal erupted over this proposed limit, which was modeled on Jewish quotas in medical education. Criticized by the mass media and most psychologists, Thorne's proposal was repudiated by the Eastern Psychological Association and the Society for the Psychological Study of Social Issues. Using private correspondence, oral histories, and published articles, this mostly forgotten episode in the history of clinical psychology is recreated. It is argued that the 1945 campaign against Jewish quotas prepared activists for the 1950s campaign against racial segregation and the Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court case. Because the participants in 1945 came from all specialties in psychology, it is suggested that this story is of significance to the field as a whole, rather than just to historians of social issues.
