Abstract

The author argues that if psychologists are to contribute meaningfully to the United Nations’ agenda for sustainable development (SD) 2030, they will need to shift from a model that is biologically based individual model to a holistic, contextual and cultural model. Global media and consumer culture have created unhealthy, social and cultural environments, which are seen as having an adverse effect on psychological health. The article focuses on the culture change coming about due to advancement of technology, changes in values of society and acculturation as the reasons for decrement in mental health (MH) and well-being (WB). Integration of mainstream psychology with indigenous psychology can guide building of environments that sustain physical health and MH as well as societal sustainability.

十字路口的心理学

作者认为，如果心理学家要为联合国2030年可持续发展议程(SD)做出有意义的贡献，他们就需要从基于生物学的个人模式转变为整体的、情境的和文化的模式。全球媒体和消费文化造成了不健康的社会和文化环境，被视为对心理健康产生不利影响。本文主要探讨了由于科技进步、社会价值观的改变和文化适应所带来的文化变化，作为心理健康(MH)和福祉(WB)下降的原因。将主流心理学与本土心理学相结合，可以指导构建维持身体健康和MH以及社会可持续性的环境。
