新世纪20年国内心理统计方法研究回顾

A review of research on psychological statistics in China’s mainland from 2001 to 2020

新世纪头20年,国内心理学11本专业期刊一共发表了213篇统计方法研究论文。研究范围主要包括以下10类(按论文篇数排序):结构方程模型、测验信度、中介效应、效应量与检验力、纵向研究、调节效应、探索性因子分析、潜在类别模型、共同方法偏差和多层线性模型。对各类做了简单的回顾与梳理。结果发现,国内心理统计方法研究的广度和深度都不断增加,研究热点在相互融合中共同发展;但综述类论文比例较大,原创性研究论文比例有待提高,研究力量也有待加强。

A total of 213 articles on psychological statistical methods have been published in 11 journals of psychology in China’s Mainland from 2001 to 2020.The research scope mainly involves the following 10 areas(ranking by the number of papers):structural equation model,test reliability,mediation effect,effect size and testing power,longitudinal study,moderation effect,exploratory factor analysis,latent class analysis,common method bias and hierarchical linear model(some articles involve more than one area).We have made a brief review and commented on each area of research.The results show that the width and depth of the research on psychological statistical methods in China are increasing,and the research hotspots are developing together in mutual integration.However,it is review articles,rather than original research articles,that account for a large proportion of the publications,and the whole research team of psychological statistical methods is not large enough.
