This article argues for the explanatory autonomy of psychology drawing on cases from the multilevel modeling practice. This is done by considering a multilevel linear model in personality and social psychology, and discussing its philosophical implications for the reductionism debate in philosophy of psychology. I argue that this practice challenges the reductionist position in philosophy of psychology, and supports the explanatory autonomy of psychology.

多层建模与心理学的解释自主性

本文从多层次建模实践的案例出发，提出了心理学的解释自主性。这是通过考虑人格和社会心理学中的多级线性模型，并讨论其对心理学哲学中的还原论辩论的哲学意义来完成的。我认为这种做法挑战了心理学的还原论立场，并支持了心理学的解释自主性。
