The Exploration Of The “Paradigm Revolutionary” Of Evolutionary Psychology

This article presents a carding, induction and analysis on paradigm connotation of Evolutionary Psychology from a psychological paradigm perspective. The paradigm of Evolutionary Psychology, which is the fourth scientific paradigm on the scientism psychology development process, now has already developed relatively.The paradigm of Evolutionary Psychology includes two parts: “Theoretical Paradigm” and “Method Paradigm”. In the “Theoretical Paradigm”, Evolutionary Psychology emphasizes that psychology research must be based on the meta theory of biological evolution, keep the subject of human survival and reproduction, so as to reveal the psychological mechanism of adaptability, and ultimately to explore human nature. In the “Method Paradigm”. Evolutionary psychology established by theory of evolution, formation, hypotheses, and then confirm adaptability and psychological mechanism of more complete scientific research program. It has four characteristics: focusing function analysis, positioning, retrospective study with emphasis on multidisciplinary integration, highlighting the nature of research. Evolutionary Psychology pursuits the ultimate interpretation of human nature, and claims a paradigm which is suitable for all the psychology research. Revolutions of “Theoretical Paradigm” and “Method Paradigm”, brought innovation of research findings, and steering of research field. Evolutionary Psychology paradigm, studying on the vision of interpretation the reason why the adaptability of human can be evolved to this point, reveals the "why" of psychological mechanism. It is a shift from the perspective of psychological research. The conversion of research perspective, has a positive significance to expand the scope of psychological research. But it is not reform of thought, because it still insist on objective, empirical research methods to the study of human nature, It can only be regarded as a paradigm within the scope of the improvement in scientific psychology, it is still an dichotomous horizon. Therefore, Evolutionary Psychology Paradigm can not really show the comprehensive nature of whom in social activities, and also cannot really lead psychology towards integration. It is not all content of psychology,it need replenish with other psychology under the condition of integrated horizon of psychology in the future.
