“Theorizing from phenomena and interpreting phenomena from theory” is the most important support and principle that I embrace in my engagement with psychology. Psychology is a scientific exploration of human behavior, and it is the unique individual differences and the underlying psychological processes that make this field fascinating and profound.
Psychology should not merely be a science or a collection of knowledge. The most valuable aspect lies in how psychology can cultivate our awareness, values, and concern for the world, society, matters, and people around us. In the classroom, through discussing current events and guiding students, I witness their reflections on how they can apply their knowledge to propose potential applications of psychology and methods for problem-solving. Moreover, they contemplate how their own learning can contribute to their personal growth, future achievements, and even the betterment of society. This belief is what I have been doing in the past, continue to do in the present, and will persist in doing in the future.
「從現象中思考理論,也從理論中解讀現象」,這是我投入心理學最重要的支持與理念。心理學是一門探究人類行為的科學,正因為個體如此的具有個別差異,卻又有其運行之心理歷程,使得這門科學份外有趣與奧妙。
心理學不應僅是一門科學、一堆知識,如何讓心理學成為培養我們關切所處的世界、社會、事、物與人的高度與價值觀,才是最難能可貴的。課堂上,透過時事的探討、引導,看著學生思考如何透過所學的知識,提出心理學的可能應用與解套方法,甚至進一步思考自己所學的,可以讓自己有所貢獻地成就自己、成就未來、更可以成就這個社會,這將是我過去在做、現在正在做、未來也會一直做下去的信念。
