Kobi Kazembe Kambon (a.k.a. Joseph A. Baldwin; born November 29, 1943) is a renowned educator and psychologist whose theory and research has been particularly influential in areas relating to African (Black) Psychology, cultural survival in the face of cultural oppression, and mental health. A former National President of the Association of Black Psychologists (ABPsi), Kambon has published well over 60 scholarly articles, and has written five books, including two textbooks that are frequently used in Psychology and Black Studies courses across the country. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.famu.edu/index.cfm?a=psychology&p=Research )〕 In many of his published works, Dr. Kambon takes an Africrentric approach to the study of African Americans, suggesting that while Black personalities are biogenetic in origin, they are still subject to environmental variables that, when alien (not African), can serve to inhibit and interfere with normal development of the Black personality. He has developed various tools, including the African Self-Consciousness Scale (ASCS), The Worldviews Scale (WVS), and the Cultural Misorientation Scale (CMS), in order to measure personality, mental health, and social variables that relate to and may characterize the Black experience in the context of Western culture.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.famu.edu/index.cfm?continuinged&Aboutthe2010ConferenceHonoree )〕 Kambon recently retired from his position as Department chair and professor in the Psychology Department at Florida A&M University in 2014 following a successful 30-year career at the institution.〔 ==Early Life== Kobi Kazembe Kambon (a.k.a.
