论心理人类学研究中的主位方式与客位方式

目前,我国的心理人类学研究尚处于起步阶段,从心理学角度开展研究的学者通常对主位研究方式还难于适应;而从人类学角度开展研究的学者通常对客位研究方式还难于把握。因此,在今后一段时间内,研究者是采用主位研究方式,还是采用客位研究方式,或者是采用主位-客位综合研究方式,应该根据自己的研究取向和课题性质加以确定,简单地提倡任何一种研究方式而否定其他方式只会给心理人类学的发展和繁荣带来不必要的损失。

On Emic Approach and Eric Approach of Psychological Anthropology

Up to now,the study of psychological anthropology in China is still at a preliminary stage.Usually,the scholars who study from the psychological perspective find it difficult to adopt the emic approach while the scholars who study from anthropological perspective still feel hard to grasp the etic approach.Therefore,it will take a long time for the scholars to decide whether to adopt the emic approach or etic approach,or a combined approach in their study.They should make a decision according to what they are researching and what nature the research is.It will bring unnecessary loss to the development and prosperity of psychological anthropology if scholars simply advocate only one research approach and deny the other.
