5、。,Psychology,therefore,literally means study of the mind.,therefore:因此,literally:根据字面意思,因此，从字面上来讲，心理的意思就是对于心灵(意识)的研究。,However,a more recent definition by Atkinsonet al(1991)suggests that psychology is:The scientific study of behaviour and mental processes,suggest:认为，建议，提议,然而，Atkinson（1991）等人提出了一个较新的

6、定义，“心理学是对于行为与心理过程的科学研究”。心理学是研究行为和心理过程的科学。,Just giving this simple definition,however,is a bit misleading,since psychologists now and throughout their history have not only disagreed about the definition of psychology but have also strongly disagreed about what should be studied in the subject and ho

7、w it should be studied.,然而，仅仅给出这样一个简单的定义，会有一点误导，因为无论是在历史上还是现在，心理学家不仅对于心理学的定义没有达成一致，而且对于在这个学科中应该研究什么以及应该如何研究也存在巨大的分歧。,subject:主题，科目,misleading:误导的，令人误解的，引入歧途,What is psychology？,2.THE HISTORY OF PSYCHOLOGY,标题内容,WHERE DID PSYCHOLOGY E FROM?Psychology developed from three main areas of study:,PHILOSOPH

19、 huaman behaviour and experience(psychophysics)in the nineteenth century,with some success.,物理学家，比如说Fechner在19世纪开始将其研究领域开拓到人类行为与经验（领域），取得了一些成功。Fechner在19世纪开创了针对人类的行为与经验的学科心理物理学，并取得了一些成功。,psychophysics:心理物理学,PHYSICS,WHERE DID PSYCHOLOGY E FROM?Psychology developed from three main areas of study:,PHIL

23、个独立的科学学科的开始时间，因为这时Wundt在Leipzig创建了第一个心理学实验室。,WHEN DID PSYCHOLOGY STARTED？,Wundt is,therefore,regarded as the“founding father”of psychology,although Americans tend to suggest that William James should have this honor since his 1890 book(which took 12 years to write)entitled Principle of Psychology wa

24、s a major landmark in psychologys literature and he began teaching a course on the relationship between physiology and psychology at Harvard University in 1875.,因此，Wundt被认为是心理学之父，但美国人倾向于认为应该是William James拥有这个荣誉。因为他在1890年出版了，用12年写成的心理学原理，这本书在心理学著作史上是一个重大的标志性事件。此外，James在1875年就开始在Harvard University教授一门

31、onent parts(such as images,sensations and feelings)like the science of chemistry had done with chemicals.,结构主义是第一个研究心理学的方法，是由冯特本人提出来的，他认为心理学的研究对象应该是意识，而且应该是用内省（向内探查自己的体验）的方法去研究，目的是将其分解为各个部分（比如说，表象，感觉，情感），就像化学家研究化学一样。,One structuralist,Titchener,claimed there were a total of 46,708 basic sensations t

32、hat bined to form the structure of the human mind,but the approach was very limited in its ability to explain and was replaced by functionalism.,结构主义者之一，Tichener声称共有46078种基本的感觉，联合起来构成了人类意识的结构，但是这种方法在解释方面存在很大的局限，因此被功能主义取代了。,claimed:声称；宣称；断言,Structuralism,Functionalism-the approach William James advoc

34、 both started around the turn of the century.,Functionalism,Functionalism,Functionalism-the approach William James advocated.James was influenced by Darwins views and argued that the workings of the mind are functional,to survive and adapt,so we should investigate what behavior and thought are for.,

35、这种方法是由William James提出的。James受Darwin观点的影响，认为意识的工作方式是功能性的，也需要去生存与适应，因此，我们应该研究行为和思想的原因。,What for:为什么；为何目的,advocated:提倡，主张，拥护,Functionalism,Many of Jamess insights remain valid today,but functionalism was superseded by the next two very powerful approaches that both started around the turn of the centur

36、y.,insight:眼光，洞察力,valid:有效的，有根据的；正当的,supersede:取代，代替,James的很多观点在今天看来仍然是有用的，但是功能主义却被始于世纪之交的两种更强大（有说服力）的方法取代了。,Psychoanalysis-was in fact a method of the therapy developed by Sigmund Freud in Austria,but in many major books,such as The interpretation of dreams(1900),Freud began describing in detail an

39、l)impact on psychology.,精神分析理论实际上是由奥地利Sigmund Freud发展出来的一种治疗方法，但是在他很多主要的书中，例如梦的解析（1900），Freud开始详细描述一个关于人类思想与行为的隐含的理论，对于心理学产生了重大的（并且是有争议的）影响。,Therapy：治疗，疗法,Underlying：隐含的，潜在的，基本的,Psychoanalysis,Freud argued that the proper object of psychological investigation should be the unconscious mind,and that

40、our behavior is determined by processes of which we are not aware.,Freud认为心理学的研究对象应该是无意识，我们的行为是由我们没有意识到的心理过程所决定的。,unconscious mind：无意识，潜意识,Behaviorism-Behaviorists,such as John Waston,were extremely critical of all the approaches that concerned themselves with“mind”,and proposed that psychology shou

41、ld only investigate observable behavior if it want to be an objective science.This approach dominated experimental psychology until the 1950s,when a strong resurgence of interest in the“mind”developed in the form of cognitive and the humanistic approaches,which suggested that behaviorism ignored all

43、ant to be an objective science.,concern oneself with：研究的对象是.,行为主义者，像John Waston，对所有以意识为研究对象的方法极为不满，并且认为心理学如果想成为一门客观的科学，就应该研究可以观测的行为。,objective：客观的,Cognitive psychology-aims to investigate the mind by using puter information processing ideas to arrive at testable models of how the brain works,and the

44、n applying scientific methods to confirm these models.The cognitive approach has enjoyed much success and is a very dominant one in psychology today.,认知心理学，目的是用计算机信息处理方式的观点去研究意识，建立起可验证的关于脑是如何工作的模型，然后利用科学的方法去证实这些模型。认知的方法取得了很多成功，是在当今心理学中占主导地位的研究方法之一。,Testable：可验证的,Cognitive psychology,The Humanistic a

45、pproach,however,has had less of an impact on psychology,since it has deliberately adopted a less scientific view of the human mind by arguing that psychology should focus on each individuals conscious experience and aims in life.,人本主义的研究方法，对于心理学的影响较小，主要是因为对于人类意识它故意采取了不怎么科学的观点，认为心理学应该关注于每个个体在生活中的的意识经

46、验和目标。,Humanistic approach,The Biological approach has advanced evolutionary,physiological,and genetic explanations for human behavior throughout the history of psychology.,生物学的研究方法在心理学的历史上，生理心理学则发展了关于人类行为的进化的、生理的和基因的观点。,Biological approach,Chapter 2,RESEARCH METHODS,Variables,WHAT DO PSYCHOLOGISTS I
