Abstract:
Research on ethnic psychology has evolved continuously, particularly under the perspective of strengthening the awareness of the Chinese national community, which imparts new social connotations and practical significance. This paper utilizes Citespace visualization software to analyze 554 relevant documents on ethnic psychology from the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) database, creating a research map. It examines both external and internal characteristics of the literature to identify hot topics and developmental trends in the field. The analysis reveals a “fluctuating upward” trend in research intensity, with research institutions primarily located in ethnic universities and research institutes. The collaboration between authors and institutions exhibits a pattern of “large dispersion, small concentration,” with core authors making significant contributions to the field. Classic research topics in ethnic psychology, such as ethnic character, ethnic minorities, ethnic culture, ethnic identity, and ethnic mentality, remain prominent. Simultaneously, “Chinese national community” has emerged as a high-frequency term in clusters, becoming a hot topic in ethnic psychology. Current research focuses on three main areas: ethnic spiritual culture, strengthening awareness of the Chinese national community, and ethnic cognition, emotion, and behavior. Under the framework of reinforcing the Chinese national community awareness, research in ethnic psychology has undergone three stages: the budding period, exploratory period, and deepening period. Previous studies have exhibited shortcomings such as overly broad research perspectives, narrow regional focuses, and singular research methods. Future research should emphasize localized Chinese characteristics, strengthen regional and team collaboration, and innovate comprehensive research paradigms.
民族心理研究历久弥新,尤其是在铸牢中华民族共同体意识的视域下,其被赋予了全新的社会内涵与现实意义。本文使用Citespace可视化软件分析中国知网(CNKI)数据库中554篇民族心理的相关文献制作研究图谱,并从文献的外部与内部特征来分析该领域的热点话题与趋势发展。分析发现:该研究热度呈现“波折式上升”趋势,研究机构分布于民族类高校及研究院,作者和机构之间的合作情况呈现“大分散、小集中”的特征,核心作者对该领域的贡献率较高;民族性格、少数民族、民族文化、民族认同、民族心态等依旧是民族心理的经典研究内容,但同时“中华民族共同体”作为聚类中的高频词,成为民族心理学的热点话题;现有民族心理研究的重点集中于三方面,一是民族精神文化,二是铸牢中华民族共同体意识,三是民族认知、民族情感及民族行为;在铸牢中华民族共同体意识视域下,民族心理学相关研究经历了研究的萌芽期、探索期和深化期三个阶段。以往研究存在研究视角宏大化、研究区域片面化、研究方法单一化等不足,未来应在研究中凸显本土化中国特色、强化区域及团队合作、创新综合性研究范式。
