王铁林在《江汉论坛》去年第8期撰文说,所谓文化心理结构是指特定民族在长期历史发展过程中由一系列相对稳定的文化条件相互作用而形成的心理素质、价值体系和思维方式的总和。由其本质特性以及和主体的密切关系所决定,文化心理结构必然要转化为主体认识结构的一部分,并以独特的功能全方位地制约着主体的活动过程。具体来看:第一、文化心理结构影响着主体对认识客体的选择。主体对认识客体的选择是有意识的自觉选择。此时,主体的需要是对象性选择的根据,选择的过程是在心理结构的监控下进行的,特别是其中的价值体系起着核心作用。一定的主体总是选择那些同自己的价值体系相一致的对象或方面。第二,文化心理结构影响着主体的认知方式。文化心理结构总是最终使主客体的结合和作用方式必须符合特定的价值尺度。有什么样的文化结构,认识活动中就会有 Wang Tielin said in the “Jianghan Forum” last year that the so-called cultural and psychological structure refers to the sum of psychological quality, value system and mode of thinking formed by the interaction of a series of relatively stable cultural conditions of a particular nation in the long-term historical development .
