信息心理学挑战物质心理学：理由、途径与策略

Abstract

自威廉•冯特以来，以自然科学为导向的主流心理学一直受到人文传统心理学的挑战，但是其强势地位坚如磐石。近三年来，人文心理学受到“信息主义”时代精神的鼓舞，被信息科学世界观和方法论所武装，升级为新版本“信息心理学”；这种研究心理现象信息特征的信息心理学，挑战研究心理现象物质特征的“物质心理学”。本文重点讨论了这种挑战的理由、途径与策略。最后，作者说明：建立、发展和完善信息心理学是时代赋予的历史使命，把主流心理学引导到信息科学的轨道是一项艰巨而长期的工作任务。 From Wilhelm Wundt, the mainstream psychology oriented to natural science has been challenged by humanistic psychology, but its dominance is as firm as a rock. In the last three years, the huma-nistic psychology is inspired by the spirit of “informationism”, is armed with the world-view and methodology of information science, and has been upgraded to a new version, i.e., “information psychology”. This informational psychology which is exploring information features of psychological phenomena has challenged “material psychology” whose research object is biological characteristics of psychological phenomena. This study focuses on the reasons, approach and strategy of the challenge. Finally, the authors point out that the establishment, development and perfection of information psychology is the historical mission entrusted by the times, and guiding the main-stream psychology to the track of information science is an arduous and long-term task.
