个体和社会心理功能视域中的团契存在

Christian Fellowship Viewed from the Perspectives of the Individual and Social Psychological Functions

对"团契"进行语义学分析,它同时具有名词性和动词性。团契的"个体心理功能"包含"希望寄托"、"压力缓解"、"心理认同"等功能。基督徒个体在团契中获得不断强化的希望感、正性情感体验,进行情绪宣泄,同时获得了对其他信徒和上帝的心理认同。团契的"社会心理功能"主要表现为"心理凝聚"和"社会服务"两个方面。基督徒群体的稳定性是心理凝聚功能发挥的首要条件,他们在自我接纳和被"基督"接纳中产生了强大的凝聚力。基督徒群体参加团契的频率是心理凝聚力发挥的直接反映。心理凝聚功能的重要表现是团契中基督徒群体遵守共同设置的契约,对成员有利他行为,并将团契作为自我的一部分。团契发挥社会功能是一种"自下而上"的积极的社会建构。它以开展社会公益慈善活动为载体发挥社会服务功能,具有资源整合性、公益慈善性、计划性与持久性、群体性和组织性等特征。
