Examination of the influence of postmodernism on psychology and the attitude of psychology toward postmoderism.

摘要

Postmodernism has achieved a high level of influence in the humanities but has not shown a commensurate level of influence in the sciences. Using a questionnaire developed by the researcher, the present study measured the level of influence of postmodernism on the social science of psychology, which possesses characteristics of both the humanities and the sciences. Subjects were asked in Part I of the questionnaire to evaluate particular statements in order to measure their agreement with tenets of postmodernism. In Part II, the subjects supplied specific information regarding their knowledge of postmodernism.
