试论实证主义对西方心理学的影响及其启示

Influence and Enlightenment of Positivism on Modern Western Psychology

作为心理学的方法论,实证主义对心理学学科的确立和发展起着重要的推动作用,它对构造主义、行为主义、认知心理学等心理学流派都具有很大的影响,但由于其一味的强调实证性,也使心理学的发展陷入了困境。要摆脱这种局面,应以人文主义的原则来弥补实证主义的不足,促使心理学事业健康发展。

As a psychological methodology, positivism played an important role for the establishment and development of psychology, especially impacted on strueturalism, behaviorism and cognitive psychology. To lay tbo much stress on its positiveness will lead it into a tight comer. In order to get it out of this position, we should take the principle of humanism to make up for the deficiency of positivism, and to promote the healthy development of psychology.
