context sensitive cognitive and educational testing
Educational Psychology Review, 2018Co-Authors: Robert J SternbergAbstract:This article reviews four interrelated approaches to reducing an inequitable gap in cognitive and educational test scores between individuals of a Dominant Culture and individuals of other Cultures or subCultures. These approaches include (a) use of broader measures, (b) performance- and project-based assessments, (c) direct measurement of knowledge and skills relevant to environmental adaptation, and (d) dynamic assessment. It is concluded that when appropriate assessment is done that recognizes students’ diverse cultural and social backgrounds, equity can increase, predictive validity of cognitive and educational tests can increase, and at the same time, racial/ethnic/Culture differences can decrease.

“In the world but not of it”: Quaker faith and the Dominant Culture, Middletown Meeting, Bucks County, Pennsylvania, 1750-1850
2006Co-Authors: Martha Paxson GrundyAbstract:["This study of seventeen surname Quaker families from Middletown Monthly Meeting in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, attempts to describe and analyze the choices they made between the requirements of their faith and the demands and opportunities of the Dominant Culture. This necessitated first the reconstruction of all seventeen of the Meeting s families that stayed in the Meeting from 1750 to 1850. The concept of levels of faith development has been used to help understand behavior in specific circumstances as well as the dynamics of larger movements. Among individuals of the Data Set families it was found, as expected, that there were varying degrees of commitment to the God-centered life from which certain behaviors were expected to flow. They seemed to come closer to approximating the ideal of being \"in the world but not of it\"--participating in the larger society without adopting its standards or values--at times of sharp crisis than during times of prosperity when it was easy to slide into acceptance of aspects of the Dominant Culture. It was also found that the family was important, that patterns of active involvement in ongoing business of the Meeting, of active working on the interior, spiritual life, of outward upholding of testimonies tended to run in families. Negative patterns like drinking, fornication, and inactivity in meetings for business were also clustered in some families but not in others. It was found that the \"alienation\" model used by some scholars to predict which Friends would join the Hicksite branch and which the Orthodox branch at the Separation in 1827, did not explain the experience of Middletown Friends. A significant proportion of Hicksite Friends in Middletown were increasingly involved in the economic aspects of the acquisitive society while eschewing the reform programs and theology of the Orthodox"]

comparative research on the Dominant Culture in the chinese college english class teaching
Studies in Literature and Language, 2016Co-Authors: H E DanAbstract:The cross-cultural aspects and Culture teaching in the College English class are very important. Neither the target language Culture nor the mother language Culture could be neglected. Therefore, we can find the Third Culture, which is a transitional Culture between the two Cultures, to be used as the Dominant Culture in class. The results of one year’s comparative research show that there are the better teaching effects in the class which used the Third Culture as the Dominant Culture than the class which used the target language Culture as the Dominant Culture.

A Comparative Experiment of the Dominant Culture in College English Classroom Teaching
Journal of Zhaotong Teacher's College, 2005Co-Authors: H E DanAbstract:The factors of cross-cultural communication and acculturation are very important in the college English teaching. Both the native Culture and the target Culture cannot be neglected. We can use “the third Culture”, which is at the intersection of the two Cultures, as the Dominant Culture in the classroom. The result of the one-year comparative experiment among college students proves that using “the third Culture” as the Dominant Culture in the class has a better effect.

On the Dangers of a Dominant Culture in the Psychological and Social Sciences: Social Psychology and the Impact Factor
2005Co-Authors: Jean-léon BeauvoisAbstract:The scientific project in the Western world is based on publications being reviewed by competent peers who represent the international scientific community. But a perversion of this evaluation may arise when that community is limited to the representatives of a particular Culture, especially in ideologically sensitive disciplines. This is the case for the psychological disciplines, and more particularly for social psychology. The author, who is a social psychologist, endeavors to show that assessment of researchers and their teams by the impact factor confirms and aggravates this perverse effect, as this measure actually measures the involvement (or co-opting) of researchers in the scientific community of the United States. This involvement leads researchers who seek publication in so-called international journals (that are in fact US-based or US-inspired) to accept certain cultural dogmas that underlie North American social psychology, and to acquiesce to some of the consequences of the evaluation and publication practices entailed by North American mores and Culture. This perversion fits in with the broader geopolitical framework of imperialism.

The Dominant Culture View and the Women of the Wall
Oxford Scholarship Online, 2017Co-Authors: Yuval Jobani, Nahshon PerezAbstract:This chapter analyses the Dominant Culture view (DCV), which argues that, in any given country, majorities can legitimately advance their religious traditions and shared cultural understandings through the acts of the government, so long as such shared understandings and traditions are effectively demonstrated and present, and their advancement by the state does not violate the rights of minority groups. The Dominant Culture view thus identifies the state with one denomination. The chapter critically considers the DCV approach as a whole and its applicability to thick sites in general and to the Women of the Wall case in particular. The examination focuses on three assumptions of the Dominant Culture view approach: the existence of shared understandings, a robust tradition rooted in the past, and respect for democratic standards.
