New Chinese Approach in Psychological Research

Department of Psychology, Hangzhou University, Hangzhou, China

This paper reviews some major developments in psychology in China in the recent decade and summarises the main characteristics of the new Chinese approach in psychological research and applications in a developing country. Three aspects of the Chinese approach to psychological research are discussed in relation to the cultural context and social-economic developments: (a) close links with economic-social reforms and cultural context for the psychological process; (b) organisation and coordination of nationwide collaborative research projects; (c) facilitation of psychological models on the basis of research in China. Some problems and methodological issues in psychological research are discussed. Implications for developing countries as well as new directions of psychological research in China are highlighted.
