心理学本土化研究中的边际品性及其超越

The Marginal Disposition of Chinese Indigenous Psychology and Self-Transcendence

本文认为,心理学本土化研究既模仿、跟随西方科学心理学而具移植特性,又依赖本土经验、思想而深怀民族情结。二者的融合与冲突致使其形成了边际品性,导致其相当一部分研究处于被两不认可的尴尬境地。究其原因,西方科学心理学的学术优势及其在心理学发展中的支配性地位是其外因,而内因主要有本土心理学界较低的自觉反省、批判的意愿与能力,心理学本土化研究者在学术活动中的边际人格特质,缺少反思与批判性的留学活动以及急于求成的学术评价制度等。在更深层次上,这与西方科学心理学的制度化权威、心理学本土化研究者的科学观、对待西方文化与知识的态度的混淆有关。对这些问题的解决,有利于超越当前困境以建构中国特色的本土心理学。

In the process of the localization of psychology, the study of Chinese indigenous psychology is imitating and following the western psychology, and has the characteristics of transplantation. The study of Chinese indigenous psychology also depends on the local experience and thought leading to its national complex. The fusion and conflict of the two causes the study of Chinese indigenous psychology to produce the ＂marginal disposition＂. As to the reasons of the ＂marginal disposition＂, the academic advantage of western psychology is the external cause. The internal reasons are： lack of willingness and ability of introspection and criticism, marginal personality tendency of native scholars, the overseas study activities without introspection and criticism, and utilitarian academic evaluation system. On a deeper level, this is related to the scientific concept of indigenous psychology, the confusion between the attitude towards culture and the attitude towards knowledge, and so on. The solution of these problems is conducive to the construction of native psychology with Chinese characteristics.
