生命意义心理学理论取向与测量

摘要/Abstract

摘要： 生命意义的心理学理论与实证研究始于20世纪中期,经由存在主义心理学取向、人格与动机取向,到相对主义观点,再到积极心理学取向,生命意义的心理学研究逐渐摆脱"哲学风格",从而完成了其"心理学化"的历程。20世纪60年代开始,研究者们从生命意义感和生命意义源这两个研究维度出发,陆续开发了大量的测量工具。生命意义感和生命意义源测量的综合化成为近年来测量工具发展的趋势。生命意义的心理学研究在理论视角、测量内容与方法、实践应用等方面有着广阔的发展前景。

关键词: 存在心理学, 积极心理学, 生命意义感, 生命意义源

Abstract: The theoretical and empirical study of meaning in life in psychology began in the middle of the twentieth century.From the theories of existentialism psychology,personality and motivation,relativism,to positive psychology,the research on meaning in life was far from the style of Philosophy,and became a most important psychological topic.Since the 1960s,researchers have gradually developed a lot of instruments to measure this concept from two dimensions:sense of meaning in life and the sources of meaning in life.The integration of sources and sense of meaning in life on measurement is the new tendency.There is wide development potential in the theoretical perspective,research content and methods and practical application for the psychological research of meaning in life.

Key words: existential psychology, positive psychology, sense of meaning in life, sources of meaning in life
