摘要
研究方法是为解决研究问题服务的,只要所用方法适合于研究问题,就是好的、恰当的。然而,当前的心理学有以研究方法本身的优劣来判断研究好坏的偏向,一般而言,使用实验法、高级统计方法的研究更容易得到认可。当研究者过于重视对所谓正统、主流研究方法的使用时,往往会忽视真正的研究问题,这需要将方法与理论、实践相结合。辛自强的专著《心理学研究方法新进展》以问题为中心,介绍了心理学研究中不那么受重视的老方法以及一些新兴方法。对这些方法的介绍,源于作者对心理学研究现状深刻的反思,展示了方法与理论、实践的协调与融合。可以说,这本专著既补全了我们对心理学研究方法的认知,又对如何做研究具有方法论上的指导意义。
Research methods are used to solve theoretical and practical problems.So long as the method is suitable for the problem,it is good and appropriate.However,the present psychology has the bias to judge a study by the research method that was used.In general,research that using experimental and advanced statistical methods is more likely to be judged as good.When researchers pay too much attention to the use of'orthodox'and'mainstream'methods,they tend to ignore the real research problems.The book'New Advances in Psychological Research Methods'by Dr.Xin introduces some old but less well-regarded approaches,as well as some other new approaches to psychological research.The introduction of these methods derives from the author’s deep introspection on the status of psychology,which shows a coordination and integration of methods,theories,and practices.It can be said that this monograph not only complements our understanding of psychological research methods,but also provides methodological guidance on how to do research.
