The neglected 95%, a challenge to psychology's philosophy of science.

Ethnic identity, racial discrimination and attenuated psychotic symptoms in an urban population of emerging adults

“…That said, a public university that serves its surrounding urban communities should be less vulnerable to the selection effects characteristic of most university study samples comprised of predominantly white, affluent and privileged youth. 51 Despite these limitations, the present study offers an empirical investigation into an under-studied area of early intervention. Using a well-validated Ethnic identity and APPS measure of ethnic identity, we determined that very low ethnic identity exacerbates the negative impact of racial discrimination on APPS.…”

Birth Cohort and Age Changes in the Self‐Esteem of Chinese Adolescents: A Cross‐Temporal Meta‐Analysis, 1996–2009

“…However, others found adolescents' self-esteem decreases across ages (McMullin & Cairney, 2004;Robins, Trzesniewski, Tracy, Gosling, & Potter, 2002). In addition, little is known about how self-esteem develops during adolescence under Asian culture (Arnett, 2009). East Asian cultures highly value the virtues of modesty and humility, which may have different self-esteem change patterns among adolescents.…”

Scientometric trend analyses of publications on the history of psychology: Is psychology becoming an unhistorical science?

“…Indeed, there are some indications in the form of small hints that US-American psychologists are beginning to reflect upon the international dominance of US psychology. For example, Arnett (2008, 2009) started a debate on the “the neglected 95 %” and the question “why American psychology needs to become less American” (Arnett 2008) with the preliminary result and insight that this poses “a challenge to psychology’s philosophy of science” (Arnett 2009). However, this is not at all reflected in PsycINFO, because it is clearly dominated by Anglo-American and English-language publications: Approximately 65 % of the documents are from the Anglo-American countries, approximately 90 % of the documents refer to English-language publications, i.e., approximately 25 % are from the rest of the world; less than 2 % of the documents are English and German publications from the German-speaking countries.…”

“…Focus is on the trends and the recent situation of the research on and teaching of history of psychology in the German-speaking countries. Second, this is compared with the situation in other countries (mainly the United States, because this country dominates psychology internationally; see, e.g., Arnett 2008, 2009) by means of scientometric methods. Third, in accordance with others (see, e.g., Ball 2012; Danziger 1994, 1997; Pettit and Davidson 2014) attempts are undertaken to provide some impulses for the future of research on and teaching of history of psychology, including its status within the different subdisciplines of psychology.…”
