Toward a Psychology of Ideas Rather Than Demographics: Commentary on Hommel (2024).

Keith E Stanovich
Published in: Perspectives on psychological science : a journal of the Association for Psychological Science (2024)
The public will rightly not value a science that is more concerned with demographic population matching than with ideas. Taking further steps in the direction of identity politics will reduce public confidence in psychology's conclusions and reduce trust and respect. If psychology embraces demographic quotas, there will be self-selection out of the discipline, and that self-selection will harm our science.
