On The Behavior Of Academic Attachment In The Perspective Of Social Cultural Psychology

The Behavior of Academic Attachment reflects the shortage of modern academic belief in China, i.e. independence and curiosity. The mutual construction between the social trend of China's traditional cultural psychology and the modern academic institutions, is the core of the problem.A social-person image of traditional cultural psychology is constructed from Confucian, while an individual-rational-person image of modern academic cultural psychology is constructed from modern science. Since the modern academic transition, the knowledge conversion caused the conflict of the two cultural psychology, which focused mainly on the conflict of academic belief, i.e. whether or not the independence and academic curiosity would be persisted in. So the history of modern academic transition becomes the basis of understanding.Knowledge and institutions, as the content and regulations of academic activity, are two key factors influencing academic culture. So the relationship of knowledge, cultural psychology and institutions is brought forward as the basic analysis frame in this dissertation.In the perspective of knowledge, since the modern knowledge transition, modern science became the main content of China's academia. By strictly method training and academic inquiry, knowledge production and academic autonomy issue are accepted by Chinese academia. The proceeding is achieved mainly by knowledge enlightenness, and is completed by scholars themselves, which means the modern academic belief is mainly an individual task. Meanwhile, the independence and autonomy value of the modern knowledge transcends the China's traditional culture psychology, for example, the motivation of knowledge utilitarian, authoritism, social attachment, and so on. All in all, the individual-rational-person image of modern academic belief transcends the social-person image of China's traditional culture. But the constructing path of modern academic belief is cut down, because the later sheering of knowledge institutions.In the perspective of institution construction, the individual-rational and independence-autonomy value are reflected mainly on the discipline institutions in Cai-yuanpei president phase in Peking University. The knowledge institutions ,which emphased academic knowledge while ignored technological knowledge, and the faculty employment and appointment system were both consistent with modern academic value. But later the knowledge system and Chinese unit system weighted heavily the techonology knowledge and academic applications. These institution value renewed the traditional cultural psychology. Intellectuals constructed the strength-type knowledge, but aside the individual rational and curiosity value. So the university institutions of New China reinforced the social consciousness of academic, and expanded the tendency of social achievement motivation, and furthermore covered the curiosity value of modern academic. Therefore, the academic attachment behavior is constructed by intellectuals and institutions'social intention. In a word, the history and facts are constructed by people themselves, not just by institution limitations.On the basis of the above two paths analysis, this dissertation brings forward two solutions to the academic attachment problem. One is to further the academic ranks, which is the main way to construct the modern academic value. Intellectuals will obtain the individual-rational living mode mainly by this way. The other is to provide variant institutions, to offer seats for independent and autonomy professors, make more independent behaviors seen in public, which is the key according to the social constructionism.The dissertation makes two main contributions. One is the"academic -person"perspective, which broads the vision of higher education research by culture psychology. The other is social constructionism opinion between academic institutions and culture psychology on academic attachment behavior.
