Abstract

Literature and personal experience identify a gap between researchers and practitioners in the field of psychology. At least two models are trying to explain how training programs for future psychologists should integrate science and practice. The scientist-practitioner model often emphasizes research and aims to develop scientific, critical thinking, with results being published in international journals. It is mainly criticized by practitioners for offering statistical solutions and neglecting particular cases or contexts. The scholar practitioner model provides opportunities for students whose career purposes are focused on professional practice and focuses on the development of skills that can be used in the relations with clients. It is mainly criticized for neglecting recent knowledge obtained through advanced research and favoring personal experience and insight instead. However, many aspects of practice are scientifically defensible, and many scientific results can improve practice in psychology. Good science and good practice should go hand to hand, but an exact evaluation of the percentage of science vs. practice in our daily activities would be forced and artificial.

心理学中的科学家-实践者模式和学者-实践者模式

文献和个人经验表明，心理学领域的研究人员和实践者之间存在差距。至少有两种模式试图解释未来心理学家的培训项目应该如何将科学与实践结合起来。科学家-实践者模式往往强调研究，旨在培养科学的、批判性的思维，其成果发表在国际期刊上。它主要受到实践者的批评，因为它提供了统计解决方案，而忽略了特定的案例或背景。学者实践者模式为学生提供了机会，他们的职业目标是专注于专业实践，并专注于发展与客户关系中使用的技能。它主要被批评为忽视了通过先进研究获得的最新知识，而倾向于个人经验和洞察力。然而，实践的许多方面在科学上是站得住脚的，许多科学结果可以改进心理学的实践。好的科学和好的实践应该齐头并进，但是对我们日常活动中科学与实践的比例的精确评估将是强制性的和人为的。
