Abstract

We argue that a certain picture of the relationship between language and the world informed Meehl’s outlook on how science worked. That picture authorized talk about constructs and has led to construct proliferation and other problems. Operational analysis offers an alternative view and suggests that a major shortcoming of soft psychology is its lack of disciplined limits on acceptable verbal behavior.

构造、操作定义和操作分析
我们认为,语言与世界之间关系的某种图景影响了Meehl对科学如何运作的看法。这张图片授权了关于结构的讨论,并导致了结构的扩散和其他问题。操作分析提供了另一种观点,并指出软心理学的一个主要缺点是缺乏对可接受的言语行为的严格限制。
