This article provides a conceptual introduction to the second installment of a two-issue collection of work on decolonial approaches to the psychological study of social issues. Whereas papers in the first installment consider decoloniality as a social issue for psychological study, papers in this second installment consider psychology as a site for decolonial analysis. In this article, we briefly review key concepts from decolonial theory (e.g., the coloniality of modernity, distinct from historical colonialism). We then discuss manifestations of epistemic violence in hegemonic psychology that require intervention. Epistemic violence is (not merely) a matter of epistemic exclusion of racialized others from the knowledge production process, imperialist imposition of white-washed knowledge products as universal standards without regard to context, or pathologizing forms of explanation that construct racial others as deviants in light of white-washed standards (i.e., epistemological violence; Teo, 2010). In addition, epistemic violence in psychology includes forms of harm (e.g., zero-point epistemology and individualist lifeways) associated with its modern/colonial roots. Accordingly, a decolonial approach to the psychological study of social issues may require refusal of the discipline of psychology.

心理学作为去殖民分析的场所

本文对关于社会问题心理学研究的非殖民主义方法的两期作品集的第二部分进行了概念性介绍。第一期的论文将非殖民化视为心理学研究的社会问题，而第二期的论文则将心理学视为非殖民化分析的场所。在本文中，我们简要回顾了非殖民主义理论中的关键概念（例如，现代性的殖民性，不同于历史殖民主义）。然后，我们讨论霸权心理学中需要干预的认知暴力的表现。认知暴力（不仅仅是）将种族化的其他人从知识生产过程中排除在认知上的问题，帝国主义强加将粉饰的知识产品作为普遍标准而不考虑上下文，或根据粉饰的标准将种族他人构建为异常者的病态解释形式（即认识论暴力；Teo，2010）。此外，心理学中的认知暴力包括与其现代/殖民根源相关的伤害形式（例如，零点认识论和个人主义生活方式）。因此，对社会问题进行心理学研究的非殖民主义方法可能需要拒绝心理学学科。
