Mainstream psychology claims to study "the human mind" or "behavior" as universal properties of isolated individuals.In practice, it systematically strips subjects from their social, economic, and ecological contexts-reducing complex human experiences to decontextualized data points.This paper argues that such isolation is not a mere methodological limitation but an epistemic and ethical failure.By obscuring structural causation, enabling victim-blaming, and exploiting vulnerable populations, psychology perpetuates harm while claiming scientific neutrality.I propose an Embedded Human Framework requiring context-integrated research, community benefit-sharing, and structural analysis-challenging the field to redefine "validity" as alignment with lived reality.

Abstract

Mainstream psychology claims to study "the human mind" or "behavior" as universal properties of isolated individuals.In practice, it systematically strips subjects from their social, economic, and ecological contexts-reducing complex human experiences to decontextualized data points.This paper argues that such isolation is not a mere methodological limitation but an epistemic and ethical failure.By obscuring structural causation, enabling victim-blaming, and exploiting vulnerable populations, psychology perpetuates harm while claiming scientific neutrality.I propose an Embedded Human Framework requiring context-integrated research, community benefit-sharing, and structural analysis-challenging the field to redefine "validity" as alignment with lived reality.
