量化研究与质化研究是心理学研究的两种基本范式。自从心理学成为一门独立科学发展起来之后,质化研究在主流心理学中无法得到重视。但近几年来,许多心理学家开始重新关注质化研究在心理学中的应用。在后现代主义思潮的影响下,心理学家们开始重新思考使用定性的方法或者定性定量结合的方式来对文化心理学中的内容进行诠释。 Quantitative research and qualitative research are two basic paradigms of psychology. Since the development of psychology as an independent science, qualitative research can not be valued in mainstream psychology. However, in recent years, many psychologists have begun to refocus the application of qualitative research in psychology. Under the influence of postmodernism, psychologists began to rethink the content of cultural psychology by using qualitative methods or qualitative and quantitative methods.
