存在焦虑的研究述评

A Brief Introduction of Existential Anxiety Research

存在焦虑是焦虑本体论的一种定义,是哲学、文学和心理学领域的重要概念之一。在心理学领域,存在焦虑理论主要包括罗洛·梅的焦虑本体论,布根塔尔的存在焦虑理论及存在焦虑与心理健康关系理论等等。目前的研究方法主要是量表测量法,但尚不成熟。为数不多的实证研究主要集中在:存在焦虑与心理健康的关系,与同一性地位的关系,与焦虑、抑郁的关系等等。今后研究的重点应包括概念研究的丰富、研究对象的拓宽及研究方法的改进和完善等。

Existential Anxiety is one of definitions of anxiety ontology, and is one of the important concepts in philosophy, literature and psychology. The theory mainly includes anxiety ontology put forward by Rollo May, existential anxiety by James E T. Bugental and the interaction between existential anxiety and mental health. However, the present method of study - scale measurement, is still immature. There is not much empirical research which focuses on the relation between existential anxiety and mental health, existential anxiety and self-identity, existential anxiety and anxiety and depression, and so on. Enrichment of the study of conception, broadening of objects of study, improvement of approaches of research are the trends of research in this field.
