This comment on “Scientific Realism and the Issue of Variability in Behavior” (Arocha, 2021) succinctly summarizes the features of the positivist background that are found in the standard model of research implemented in psychology; moreover, this comment emphasizes that this model is unable to move the psychological sciences toward discoveries. Arocha (2021) put the realist paradigm forward as an alternative for psychology researchers. This paradigm changes the ontological, epistemological, and methodological assumptions of psychological sciences. It emphasizes the interconnectedness of the sociocultural and mental mechanisms of psychological functioning. The comment concludes with an outline of some objectives of realist psychological research.

这篇关于“科学现实主义和行为可变性问题”（Arocha，2021 年）的评论简洁地总结了在心理学实施的标准研究模型中发现的实证主义背景的特征；此外，该评论强调该模型无法将心理科学推向发现。Arocha (2021) 提出了现实主义范式作为心理学研究人员的替代方案。这种范式改变了心理科学的本体论、认识论和方法论假设。它强调心理功能的社会文化和心理机制的相互联系。评论最后概述了现实主义心理学研究的一些目标。
