This paper addresses some of the chief theoretical issues associated with the study of consciousness psychology at the turn of the century. This research based on domestic and international studies of consciousness, and supported by methods of combination of historical and theoretical analysis, of scientific and humanistic research and of meta-analysis of documents and theoretical review, and it is aligned by the contemporary renaissance of consciousness studies, discipline paradigms, and theoretical models in psychology, and is viewed from a scientific stand of contemporary psychology, its epistemology and methodology. This research is aimed at a preliminary reflective review of the current developments and achievements of consciousness researches and its trends and landscapes at the beginning of new century with the effort to exhibit the characters of preciseness, richness, deepness, and newness.In the recent ten years, investigation of consciousness has been increasingly revived in contemporary western psychology. There are plenty of substantial results in this area. Not only is there a great improvement in the research paradigm and method, but also there are significant achievements in the theoretical exploration, especially the operative definition of consciousness, the understanding of the nature of consciousness, and the interpretation of the pre-theoretical models. Contemporary psychology has made a great deal of achievements in the relationship between consciousness and perception, attention, memory, thinking, meta-cognation and so on, in the slice-up research approach, and the research of some innate ontological, epistemological and methodological metatheory problems also has been advanced. The rapidly advancing research of contemporary consciousness psychology is also confronted with confusion and problems in consciousness psychology. One of the solutions to these problems is to set up a new view of science and a principle of consciousness concerning the multi-subjects integration in psychology, and to deepen and enforce the unity of metatheory and substantiality theory and the social applied research in conscious studies of psychology.
