论我国心理学研究的时代使命

On the Mission of China's Psychological Studies in Today's World

中国现代心理学本是"舶来品",很多人又相信心理学具有文化普适性,再加上西方心理学一向处于强势地位,大陆在文化心理学领域又缺少领军人才,结果,中国现代心理学在发展过程中逐渐形成了缺少自觉关注本土文化传统的传统,致使中国文化无法为当代中国心理学的发展提供思想源泉、灵感和根基,导致一些研究成果缺少文化生态效度、灵魂、宏观视野和原创性。破解之道是要做胸怀中国文化的心理学研究者。为了更好地担负起时代使命,中国心理学家须从四个方面加以努力:(1)具备较扎实的国学功底;(2)妥善将中国文化放进自己的理论架构、实验/问卷设计以及分析与讨论中;(3)建构吻合文化传统的心理学理论或观点;(4)探索吻合文化传统的心理学研究范式、技术和方法。

Many Chinese psychologists regard psychology as a discipline with cultural universality as evidenced by the fact that Chinese modern psychology was imported from the Western world. Currently, there＇s no doubt that modern western psychology is in a dominant position while China＇s mainland is short of leading figures in cultural psychology. As a result, Chinese psychologists attach little importance to our native culture and indigenous psychological thoughts when constructing Chinese modem psychology. This makes it impossible for Chinese culture to supply foundations, source of ideas and inspiration to Chinese modern psychology and moreover leads to the absence of cultural and ecological validity, spirit, macro perspective as well as originality in some psychological studies. In order to solve these problems, researchers ought to keep Chinese culture in mind by making some efforts in the following four aspects ：（ 1 ） being equipped with a good command of Chinese classical studies; （ 2 ） integrating Chinese culture into our theoretical frameworks, designs of experiments or questionnaires as well as analyses and discussions of research results; （ 3 ） constructing psychological views and theories that conform to Chinese cultural tradition;（ 4 ）exploring research paradigms, techniques and methods of psychology that conform to Chinese cultural tradition.
