Contextualism has already had a great influence on the subdisciplines of psychology. In psychology, the contextualistic explanation can be classified into three different kinds of contextualistic explanation systems: descriptive contextualism, developmental contextualism, and functional con-textualism. These various explanation systems are applied to their corresponding subdisciplines, and adopt different research methods. However, the further analysis indicated that these explanation systems all share the same methodological characteristics of practicability, integrality, hierarchy, ini-tiative, dynamics, and expansionary. The contextualistic explanation not only shows its distinct advantages in the specific psychological research activ-ities, but also has profound philosophical implication with regard to psychology as well as other social sciences. Therefore, contextualism can indeed serve as a research programme of philosophy of science that supports a study of psychology from the dynamic and comprehensive perspective.
