时代精神与当代环境心理学的应对

可持续发展是当今时代主题,也是当代环境心理学开展研究的主旨.应对多元化、复杂化的环境问题的挑战,实现人与环境的和谐,当代环境心理学需要在价值取向上,扬弃人类中心主义与技术乐观主义,转向人与自然和谐统一与多学科共同努力;在理论构建上坚持宽阔的理论视野、跨领域的理论互补以及在实证研究中发展和深化理论;在方法论上,从个体主义取向转向组织与文化取向,从封闭性、单一化研究转向开放性、国际化研究.

Spirits of Times and Ideals of Environmental Psychology

Sustainable development is not only our time's topic but also an environmental psychology's idea.Sustainable development requires shifts in personal values,beliefs,attitudes and goals,and substantial alterations of economic,social and political practices.Environment psychologists can do much to enhance their contribution to sustainable development in the environmental,economic,and social sense of this concept.In terms of environment,psychology needs to change from anthropocentric to "nature and man being one",problem-oriented multidisciplinary research.In terms of theoretical construction,environment psychology needs to develop theory of environment psychology and reinforce the image of environment psychology.As far as methodology is concerned,environment psychology needs to change from individualistic approach to organizational and cultural approach,from close research to open research and international cooperation.
