Regarding the ubiquotous racial prejudice and what science says about its validity. Well, an extensive investigation found that there is no predictable association between “race” and behavior. जातीय पूर्वाग्रह चाही सबै मानिसको मनमा हुने रहेछ । हामीले हाम्रो ढुंगेयुगमा आफ्नो समुहको सुरक्षार्थ विकसित गरेको फाइदाजनक ऐतिहासिक मनोविज्ञानको बेफाइदाजनक वर्तमान अवशेष हो त्यो । तर खास जातीको खास स्वभाव हुन्छ त? हुन्छ भन्ने विश्वाsस नै आजको जातीय पूर्वाग्रह हो नि । सन् २००३ मा प्रकाशित एक वृहद अध्ययनले के देखायो भने जाती र व्यवहारको बीच सहसम्बन्ध छैन । अब हामीले हाम्रो धारणा सुधार गर्ने हो कि? "Cross-cultural evaluation of predicted associations between race and behavior" Evolution and Human Behavior 24 (2003) 357–364 Peter N. Peregrine, Carol R. Ember, Melvin Ember शोधलेखका केही अंशहरू: ABSTRACT: Rushton argues that much variation in human behavior is explained by membership in one of only three genetic groups or ‘‘races’’ (‘‘Negroids,’’ ‘‘Caucasoids,’’ and ‘‘Mongoloids’’). Using previously coded data on the 186 society Standard Cross-Cultural Sample, we find no statistical support for the predicted associations between ‘‘race’’ and behavior. INTRODUCTION: Rushton argues that human behavior correlates so strongly with genetic ancestry in one of three ‘‘racial’’ groups (‘‘Negroids,’’ ‘‘Caucasoids,’’ and ‘‘Mongoloids’’) that environment has little effect (Rushton, 1988, 1992; Rushton & Bogaert, 1987).1 Rushton’s ideas have generated intensely negative reactions and critiques (e.g., Gorey & Cryns, 1995; Leiberman, 2001; Lynn, 1989; Zuckerman & Brody, 1988), but it would be a remarkable achievement if Rushton has found a way to reduce human behavior to such a simple causal model. His ideas should not be dismissed because we dislike their implications or because they do not reflect ‘‘politically correct’’ thinking; rather, they should be rigorously evaluated to determine if they have explanatory power. We undertake such an evaluation here … … RESULT: Table 2 summarizes our results. A glance at Table 2 makes it clear that Rushton’s predictions do not find much support, regardless of how ‘‘race’’ is operationalized. Indeed, of the 78 correlations in Table 2, only 2 are statistically significant (at less than or equal to the .05 level) in the predicted direction. This is no more confirming a set of results than one would expect by chance. Even if we look at the direction of the correlations, Rushton’s predictions are not supported. _______________________________________ If you are interested in full article, please send me a message.
