青少年学习心理安宁感的发展研究

采用青少年EPOCH心理安宁感量表中文版对417名青少年进行了测查,检验了青少年EPOCH心理安宁感量表中文版在我国青少年群体中的信、效度。并对1759名中小学生进行了测查,发现青少年群体中在投入性、坚韧性、乐观性、乐群性和愉悦性上重点校学生显著高于一般校学生;女生在坚韧性和乐群性上显著高于男生;随年级的逐渐升高,青少年对投入性、坚韧性、乐观性、乐群性和愉悦性的评价呈现逐渐降低的趋势。     

少年自我意识发展的特点

一、课题的提出我们在完成由朱智贤教授领衔的国家重点科研项目,《中国儿童青少年心理发展与教育》中的子课题《初中学生自我意识发展特点的研究》之后,提出本课题,目的在于探索在商品经济发展的温州地区少年(初中生)自我意识发展的特点,为教育改革提供点心理学的依据。我们选择温州市、镇、乡各一所普通中学,每所学校各为三个班级(初一到初三),每班为50名,男女各半,总共450名作为研究对象。本研究采用问卷法,并辅以档案分析和教师座谈法。问卷分为三大部分:(1)成人感·独立性、性意识和自尊心;(2)自我评价,包括个性品质自我评价和对他人的评价、学业评价、智力评价;(3)自我教育,包括自我规划、自我控制和自我矫正。每张问卷有55分题目,每个题目分三个     

青少年时间管理倾向量表的编制

时间管理倾向是个体在运用时间方式上所表现出来的心理和行为特征,具有多维度多层次的心理结构。参照有关文献并结合国内的广泛调查研究,编制出我国青少年时间管理倾向量表。通过对1027名大中学生的探索性因素分析和507名大中学生的验证性因素分析,结果表明时间管理倾向问卷由时间价值感(社会取向和个人取向的时间价值感)、时间监控观(设置目标、计划、优先级、时间分配和反馈性)和时间效能感(时间管理效能和时间管理行为效能)三个维度构成。该量表的因素结构清晰,信度和效度较好,可以作为评鉴青少年时间管理倾向的有效工具。     

青少年人际压力、人际自我效能感与社交适应行为的关系

采用《青少年社会适应量表》、《青少年人际压力量表》和《青少年人际交往自我效能感问卷》对916名中学生进行施测,探讨青少年人际压力、人际自我效能感与社交适应行为之间的关系以及人际自我效能感在其中所起的作用。结果表明,人际压力与人际自我效能感、社交适应行为之间均存在显著负相关,人际自我效能感与社交适应行为呈显著正相关;人际自我效能感在青少年同伴压力、家庭环境压力与社交适应行为关系之间起着部分中介作用。     

心理健康的测量:自尊量表和情感量表的比较

对两个西方常用的心理健康测量工具:Rosenberg的《自尊量表》和Bradburn的《正性情感量表和负性情感量表》进行心理测量学指标的比较。被试取自北京市三所高校的一至三年级大学生,共1142人。两个分研究的结果均表明:《自尊量表》的各项心理测量学指标都好于《正性情感量表和负性情感量表》。作为心理健康的测量工具,《自尊量表》在多数情况下比《正性情感量表和负性情感量表》更有效。     

中国文化背景下心理一致感的潜结构研究

采用实证研究方式对Antonovsky开发的13个项目的心理一致感量表在中国大陆的适用性进行探讨及修订。通过对1230名被试进行探索性及验证性因素分析后发现,个体的心理一致感是由可理解性、易处理性及意义性三个成分构成的总体,结果支持Antonovsky提出的关于心理一致感的构思,且经修订后的心理一致感量表对中国文化背景中的被试是适用的。     

《青少年自我意识情绪测验》的修订及信度效度验证

修订青少年自我意识测验(TOSCA-A)使之成为一个适合测量中国青少年自我意识情绪的工具。首先,书面访谈调查可引起青少年自我意识情绪的事件,采用内容分析法对收集到的事件进行评估、编码、量化,并收集反应项目。其次,对476名学生进行施测,来修订、调整测验项目,初步形成《青少年自我意识情绪测验》修订版,包括24个情节,共85个反应选项,并进行信度、效度分析。间隔一年,再次取样验证该测验的信度和效度。研究表明,《青少年自我意识情绪测验》修订版结构合理,有良好的信度和效度,是研究中国青少年自我意识情绪的一个有效工具。     

中国人获得感的结构研究

获得感是一个具有心理内涵与时代特色的新生概念。为了探究获得感的结构内涵,通过自由联想法形成量表的初始项目,先后进行两次预测并根据结果修订量表。然后对量表进行正式施测并检验其信效度,同时采用中文版生活满意度量表和幸福倾向量表进行效标效度检验。结果显示,中国人的获得感是个体对获取自身需求满足的内容、实现途径与所需条件的认知评价以及在此过程中的心理体验,包括获得体验、获得环境、获得内容、获得途径和获得分享五个维度。信效度分析表明,编制的中国人获得感量表符合心理测量学的标准,可用于相关的社会心理研究与应用。     

童年期心理虐待与忽视对高中生自杀意念的影响：述情障碍的中介作用和寻求意义感的调节作用

为了探讨童年期心理虐待与忽视与自杀意念之间的关系及其作用机制,本研究采用心理虐待与忽视量表、多伦多述情障碍量表、青少年自杀意念量表及生命意义感量表中的寻求意义感分量表对1074名高中生进行调查。结果表明：（1）童年期心理虐待与忽视对自杀意念有正向预测作用,并且能够通过述情障碍的中介作用影响高中生自杀意念;（2）寻求意义感调节了这一中介过程的直接路径和后半段路径,对后半段路径的调节作用存在性别差异。     

青少年攻击性问卷的编制

在青少年攻击性理论与当代青少年攻击性表现的基础上,结合国外的研究成果以及专家评定,通过探索性因素分析和验证性因素分析,编制了一个适合青少年攻击性评估的问卷。结果发现：（1）自编的“青少年攻击性问卷”由攻击性行为、攻击性认知和攻击性情绪3个分量表构成。攻击性行为分量表由口头攻击、身体攻击、自我发泄3个维度构成;攻击性认知分量表由敌对、恶意、报复心理3个维度构成;攻击性情绪分量表由易怒性、冲动、缺乏自我控制能力3个维度构成;（2）问卷的内部一致性系数和维度与分量表、总分以及分量表与总分的相关系数达到显著水平,量表的内容效度、结构效度、实证效度较高。     

Together – apart: in touch in a time of separation

This paper explores the experience of working as a Jungian analyst through the various phases of the global COVID-19 pandemic, examining the importance of the physical containing space alongside the analyst’s internal mind and how technology can both help and hinder understanding. A number of clinical vignettes illustrate the challenge of communicating over a distance, paying particular attention to the way countertransference phenomena can become re-attuned. Reference is made to mythology and symbols of hope, and consideration given to the meaning and purpose of the pandemic.     

The Possibility of Meaning in Human Evolution

Science undermines the certitude of non-naturalistic answers to the question of whether human life has meaning. I explore whether evolution can provide a naturalistic basis for existential meaning. Using the work of philosopher Daniel Dennett and scientist Ursula Goodenough, I argue that evolution is the locus of the possibility of meaning because it has produced intentionality, the matrix of consciousness. I conclude that the question of the meaning of human life is an existentialist one: existential meaning is a product of the individual and collective tasks human beings undertake.     

Phenotypic plasticity and archetype: a response to common objections to the biological theory of archetype and instinct

Since Jung’s death in 1961, scholars have attempted to integrate growing biological science data into Jungian concepts such as the collective unconscious, instincts and the archetypes. This enterprise has been challenging due to persistent false dichotomies of gene and environment occasionally arising. Recent works by Roesler (2022a, 2022b) for example, have raised objections to the biological theory of archetypes, but the objections are plagued by such dichotomies. The concept of phenotypic plasticity, however, helps to both avoid this problem as well as bridge the gap between competing theories into a more integrated model with solid biological foundations.     

When is it time to stop? When good enough becomes bad enough

This article draws on Winnicott’s concept of the good enough mother to discuss how to know whether a therapeutic situation is good enough to continue or bad enough to end. This dilemma is explored in terms of clinical syndromes, such as anorexia and pathological gambling, but focuses mainly on analyst-initiated endings, which are termed the ‘Casablanca dilemma’, based on an amplification of the ending of the film Casablanca. The author goes on to discuss such one-sided endings, drawing on interviews with 40 analysts and therapists about their clinical experience. A typology of bad enough endings is presented. The psychological differences between a good enough analysis as opposed to a bad enough one are explored through the ideas of Winnicott and Neumann.     

Kann Es Ein Argument Für Den Skeptizismus Geben? Das Epistemische Problem Der Irrtumsmöglichkeit

Summary  Is there any argument for scepticism? The epistemic problem of the possibility of error. Arguments for scepticism rest on the assumption that knowledge claims are fallible. For this reason the concept of knowledge appears to be questionable. Since it is necessary to distinguish doubts from possible doubts, the arguments for scepticism appear to be unconvincing. If we take it into account that we know something that is immune to doubt, we should draw the conclusion that, contrary to scepticism, knowledge claims have to be compatible with being fallible. Thus any knowledge claim is capable of being doubted.     

The transcendent function in Spitteler’s Prometheus and Epimetheus

In August 2020, John Beebe and Steve Myers met via Zoom to discuss their differing interpretations of psychological typology and the different sources within Jung’s writings that influenced their books: Integrity in Depth: Energies and Patterns in Psychological Type (Beebe), and Myers-Briggs Typology vs Jungian Individuation (Myers). The discussion centred on Spitteler’s epic poem Prometheus und Epimetheus, which forms the basis of chapter V of Psychological Types. This is both the largest chapter and one of two chapters that Jung highlighted in the Argentine foreword as containing the essence of the book. Jung’s book is primarily about the transformation of personality rather than the categorization of people. Although it contains a critical psychology that deconstructs the nature of consciousness, that is only one half of the book and a stepping-stone to the other half, which is the reconciliation of opposites with particular emphasis on the relation of consciousness and the unconscious. Jung assumed that readers were already familiar with Prometheus und Epimetheus, an understanding of which sheds light on the nature of the transformation that Jung described – the development of a new attitude towards attitude itself.

Seeing in the Dark: A View into Dissociation and Healing

In this paper, I will explore the role of art-making, the experience of trauma and dissociation, and the process of working with self-states from an analytic and creative frame. Relevant literature on dissociation, trauma, and the use of art will be discussed. A case involving my work with an adolescent girl who had experienced sexual abuse from a family member will be shared, with an emphasis on the meaningful role images played during the therapeutic process. Both Jungian and psychoanalytic models of conceptualizing and working with dissociation are included, following Donald Kalsched’s (2013) recommendation for a “binocular stance” to treatment, including both a focus on the inner, intrapsychic world and the interpersonal, relational realm, and how art images both illuminated and expressed these realms. Within the therapeutic process, art images allowed the therapist a view into the client’s unconscious process, and created a meeting ground for dissociative barriers to be gradually seen, felt and known, by both therapist and client. The experience of dissociation, in images and in session, provided a reference point for myself and my client, Taylor, to develop a shared understanding and a framework for growth.
