Coloniality describes the way in which racialized conceptions of being, personhood, and morality inherent in colonial regimes are maintained long after the formal end of colonial enterprises. Central to coloniality has been the material and psychological colonization of space and time, largely by Western and industrialized nations. We propose the importance of understanding the coloniality of time and space through a historically grounded framework called time-space distanciation (TSD). This framework posits that via the global spread of capitalism through colonization, psychological understandings of time and space have been separated from one another, such that they are now normatively treated as distinct entities, each with their own abstract and quantifiable value. We discuss the construct and its centrality to coloniality, as well as the ways in which contemporary psychology has been complicit in proliferating the coloniality of psychologies of time and space. Finally, we discuss ways to employ the decolonial strategies of denaturalization, indigenization, and accompaniment in the context of future research on the psychology of time and space. TSD contributes to decolonial efforts by combatting the reification of hegemonic psychological constructs, showing how these constructs arise as a function of historical changes in understanding, experience, and use of time and space.

殖民主义描述了在殖民企业正式结束很长时间之后，维持殖民制度固有的存在，人格和道德的种族化观念的方式。殖民的核心是时空的物质和心理殖民，主要是西方国家和工业化国家的殖民。我们提出了通过称为时空分离（TSD）的基于历史的框架来理解时空殖民的重要性。这一框架假定，通过殖民主义使资本主义在全球范围内传播，人们对时间和空间的心理理解已经相互分离，因此现在它们在规范上被视为不同的实体，每个实体都有其自己的抽象和可量化的价值。我们讨论了这种结构及其对殖民地的中心地位，以及当代心理学在加剧时空心理学的殖民性方面所起的共谋作用。最后，在未来的时空心理学研究背景下，我们讨论了采用变性，本土化和伴奏的殖民化策略的方法。TSD通过对抗霸权心理结构的具体化，为殖民主义的努力做出了贡献，显示了这些结构是如何随着理解，经验和时间和空间使用的历史变化而出现的。和伴奏在时间和空间心理学的未来研究的背景下。TSD通过对抗霸权心理结构的具体化，为殖民主义的努力做出了贡献，显示了这些结构是如何随着理解，经验和时间和空间使用的历史变化而出现的。和伴奏在时间和空间心理学的未来研究的背景下。TSD通过对抗霸权心理结构的具体化，为殖民主义的努力做出了贡献，显示了这些结构是如何随着理解，经验和时间和空间使用的历史变化而出现的。
