摘要

有人认为,人生目标感是促进青年积极发展的一种心理资产。然而,使用与被研究者的发展阶段相适应的工具和方法,在年轻人中,对目标益处的信心比对其存在的严格确认来得更快。在这里,作者阐明了这种不对称性为从现有的关于青年目的的研究中得出推论而产生的四个问题,即它依赖于(1)区分“青年”的不明确的科学标准和包括发展上武断的项目的措施,(2)单一的信息者和自我报告方法,(3)滥用横截面设计来检验前瞻性或因果性理论,以及(4)对目的内容不敏感的分析技术。在描述这些问题时,作者考虑了这一问题中包含的三个实证贡献对每一个的反应程度,并可能为指导未来对青年目标的研究提供模板。

A Better Tomorrow: Toward a Stronger Science of Youth Purpose
Having a sense of purpose in life has been discussed as a psychological asset for promoting positive youth development. Yet confidence in the benefits of purpose has accumulated faster than rigorous confirmation of their existence among youth, using instruments and methods calibrated to the developmental stage of those under study. Here, the authors illuminate four problems this asymmetry creates for drawing inferences from extant research on youth purpose, namely its reliance on (1) unclear scientific criteria for distinguishing “youth” and measures that include developmentally presumptuous items, (2) single-informant and self-report methods, (3) misapplication of cross-sectional designs to test prospective or causal theories, and (4) analytic techniques insensitive to purpose content. In delineating these problems, the authors consider the extent to which the three empirical contributions included in this issue are responsive to each and may provide templates to guide future studies of youth purpose.
