Impressions of psychology in the people's republic of China

Abstract

In addition to outlining continuities and discontinuities in the development of psychology in China over the last 60 years, the present paper identifies current trends in teaching, research, and practice. Psychology has been vigorously re-established following severe disruption to the discipline during the cultural revolution. The major forces in contemporary Chinese psychology are the Institute of Psychology, the colleges and universities, and the Chinese Psychological Society. These three systems are discussed in the context of observations made by the author in 1979 while working in the Institute of Psychology under the sponsorship of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
