▪ The word "Psychology" is derived from two
Greek roots: "Psyche", meaning "mind" or "soul" and "Logos", meaning "study of".

▪ 然而，Atkinson（1991）等人提出了一个较新的定义，
“心理学是对于行为与心理过程的科学研究”。
▪ 心理学是研究行为和心理过程的科学。
suggest:认为，建议，提议
14
Definitions

▪ 因此，从字面上来讲，心理的意思就是对于心灵（意
识）的研究。
therefore:因此 literally :根据字面意思

15
Definitions
▪ 然而，仅仅给出这样一个简单的定义，会有一点误导，
因为无论是在历史上还是现在，心理学家不仅对于心 理学的定义没有达成一致，而且对于在这个学科中应 该研究什么以及应该如何研究也存在巨大的分歧。
misleading:误导的，令人误解的，引入歧途 subject:主题，科目
16
来的，psyche的意思是心灵或精神，logos的意思是 对……研究。
derive:派生
roots:词根 mind:心灵；精神 soul:灵魂；心灵；精神
12
Definitions
▪ Psychology, therefore, literally means "study of
the mind".
misleading, since psychologists now and throughout their history have not only disagreed about the definitio strongly disagreed about what should be studied in the subject and how it should be studied.
Biology:生物学
Physics:物理学
▪ 心理学的起源？
▪ 心理学是从三个主要的研究领域发展而来的：哲学、
生物学、物理学。
