ABSTRACT

The development of academic fields is often described through the metaphor of ‘waves.’ Following the instantiation of positive psychology (the first wave), scholarship emerged looking critically at the notions of positive and negative, becoming known as its second wave. More recently, we discern an equally significant evolution, namely scholarship that in various ways goes beyond the individual and embraces greater complexity. This includes going beyond the individual person as the primary focus of enquiry to look more deeply at the groups and systems in which people are embedded. It also involves becoming more interdisciplinary and multicultural, and embracing a wider range of methodologies. We submit that these interrelated ripples constitute a form of epistemological ‘broadening’ that merit the label of an incoming ‘third wave.’ This paper identifies the key dynamics of this wave, allowing appreciation not only of the field’s leading edge, but also its developmental potential into the future.

第三波积极心理学:向复杂性扩展

摘要

学术领域的发展,常常用“波浪”这个比喻来描述。在积极心理学(第一波)的实例化之后,出现了批判性地看待积极和消极的概念的学术,被称为第二波。最近,我们发现了一个同样重要的演变,即学术以各种方式超越个人并包含更大的复杂性。这包括超越个别作为调查的主要焦点,以更深入地研究人们所处的群体和系统。它还涉及变得更加跨学科和多元文化,并采用更广泛的方法。我们认为,这些相互关联的涟漪构成了一种认识论“拓宽”的形式,值得称为即将到来的“第三波”。本文确定了这一浪潮的关键动力,不仅可以了解该领域的领先优势,还可以了解其未来的发展潜力。
