我国西南少数民族心理研究的基本状况

Review on National Psychology of the Minorities in Southwest China

西南少数民族心理研究是我国民族心理学的重要部分。20世纪80年代以来,西南少数民族研究主要集中在儿童认知、智力发展、人格、价值观和品格等方面,并取得了一些具有代表性的成果。目前,西南少数民族心理研究主要有几个特点:(1)研究取样主要是青少年和学生;(2)研究取向主要是民族心理的发展;(3)民族心理研究大多与教育研究相联系;(4)民族心理研究的研究方法的科学性有待增强;(5)民族心理研究的核心是民族文化,民族心理研究应该深入民族生活中去考察民族习俗;(6)民族心理研究多将民族和民族文化作为实验中一个变量,对民族心理本质问题的重视程度不够。
