Abstract

The article discusses the historical episodes in psychology that continue to shape the field today. It highlights six examples, including Francis Galton's use of big data in the 1800s, the lack of diversity in psychological research, Robert Williams' BITCH-100 test, the involvement of scientists in politics, Mamie Phipps Clark's doll study, and the influence of scientific genealogies on the field. These episodes demonstrate the lasting impact of past narratives on psychology and emphasize the need for a more inclusive and diverse approach to research. [Extracted from the article]
