In their target article for this issue of Psychological Inquiry, Becker and Neuberg have provided a thoughtful reflection on the intersection of motivational subsystems as well as their elaborate interplay. The authors primarily hone in on the idea that decades of research in the fields of cognitive, evolutionary, and developmental psychology (and, we would add, personality and social psychology) have shed light on motivational patterns that seem to transcend time and context. They note that each subdiscipline’s contributions remain largely isolated—a sentiment that has been shared by others (Baumeister, 2016). In their quest for a more generalized framework for understanding how the subcomponents of motivational systems coalesce into higher order outputs, Becker and Neuberg have mapped several contemporary findings from empirical psychology to Jung’s notion of archetypes (e.g., Jung, 1959). One of the primary merits of the authors’ reflection is in its attention to the need for a generalized model of how psychological subsystems collaborate to generate higher order, abstract processes and behaviors. This reflection not only invites researchers and scientists to think more deeply about the field’s progress on a “big picture” level but also nudges us to keep in mind serious considerations of an ambiguityfree, unifying framework. Despite some problematic aspects arising from this attempt, which we touch upon later, the authors’ exercise is thought-provoking and gives rise to many interesting ideas, particularly in terms of operationalization and measurement.

你只是荣格一次:利用当代语言研究建立广义的动机系统理论

在本期《心理调查》的目标文章中,Becker 和 Neuberg 对动机子系统的交集及其复杂的相互作用进行了深思熟虑的反思。作者主要强调在认知、进化和发展心理学(以及我们要补充的人格和社会心理学)领域的数十年研究已经揭示了似乎超越时间和背景的动机模式。他们指出,每个子学科的贡献在很大程度上仍然是孤立的——其他人也有这种看法(鲍迈斯特,2016 年)。在他们寻求一个更通用的框架来理解激励系统的子组件如何合并成更高阶的输出时,Becker 和 Neuberg 已经将经验心理学的几个当代发现映射到荣格的原型概念(例如,荣格,1959)。作者反思的主要优点之一是关注对心理子系统如何协作以生成更高阶的抽象过程和行为的广义模型的需求。这种反思不仅邀请研究人员和科学家在“大局”层面更深入地思考该领域的进展,而且促使我们牢记对一个无歧义、统一框架的认真考虑。尽管这一尝试产生了一些问题,我们稍后会谈到,但作者的练习发人深省,并产生了许多有趣的想法,特别是在操作和测量方面。作者反思的主要优点之一是关注对心理子系统如何协作以生成更高阶的抽象过程和行为的广义模型的需求。这种反思不仅邀请研究人员和科学家在“大局”层面更深入地思考该领域的进展,而且促使我们牢记对一个无歧义、统一框架的认真考虑。尽管这一尝试产生了一些问题,我们稍后会谈到,但作者的练习发人深省,并产生了许多有趣的想法,特别是在操作和测量方面。作者反思的主要优点之一是关注对心理子系统如何协作以生成更高阶的抽象过程和行为的广义模型的需求。这种反思不仅邀请研究人员和科学家在“大局”层面更深入地思考该领域的进展,而且促使我们牢记对一个无歧义、统一框架的认真考虑。尽管这一尝试产生了一些问题,我们稍后会谈到,但作者的练习发人深省,并产生了许多有趣的想法,特别是在操作和测量方面。抽象的过程和行为。这种反思不仅邀请研究人员和科学家在“大局”层面更深入地思考该领域的进展,而且促使我们牢记对一个无歧义、统一框架的认真考虑。尽管这一尝试产生了一些问题,我们稍后会谈到,但作者的练习发人深省,并产生了许多有趣的想法,特别是在操作和测量方面。抽象的过程和行为。这种反思不仅邀请研究人员和科学家在“大局”层面更深入地思考该领域的进展,而且促使我们牢记对一个无歧义、统一框架的认真考虑。尽管这一尝试产生了一些问题,我们稍后会谈到,但作者的练习发人深省,并产生了许多有趣的想法,特别是在操作和测量方面。
