文化心理学方法论的扩展性探索

方法论对于一个学科的发展至关重要。从根本上说,方法论的基本内涵是关于研究对象与研究方法及二者关系的理论预设,而其核心目标是实现研究对象与研究方法的匹配。从文化心理学的研究现状看,现有的方法论尚未实现研究对象与研究方法之间的协调,从而构成文化心理学发展的潜在困境。基于对文化心理学的理论诉求和研究现状的把握,本文提出了文化心理学方法论的六个扩展方向:研究对象上从外显到内隐、从元素到整体、从抽象到具体; 研究方法上从现象到机制、从单向到双向、从静态到动态。

Expansion of the Methodology in Cultural Psychology

Methodology is essential to the development of a discipline.Fundamentally speaking,the basic connotation of methodology is the theoretical presupposition of the research object,research method and the relationship between the two,while its core goal is to match the research object and research method.Judging from the current research status of cultural psychology,the existing methodology has not yet achieved the coordination between research object and research method,which constitutes a potential dilemma for the development of cultural psychology.Based on a grasp of the theoretical demand and the current research situation of cultural psychology,this article proposes six expansion directions of cultural psychology methodology:from explicit to implicit,from element to whole,and from abstract to concrete in the research object; from phenomenon to mechanism,from one-way to two-way,and from static to dynamic in the research method.
