重返「本土契合性」論辯：默會之知的實踐智慧

The Indigenous Compatibility Debate and the Role of Tacit Knowledge as Practical Wisdom

楊國樞先生對本土心理學的終極關懷，是避免西方心理學的直接移植，並思考如何讓本土心理學知識的生產能夠鑲嵌在人與社會文化的辯證互動之中。因此，本土契合性是楊先生畢生關注的重要論理。本文透過重新閱讀楊國樞先生於1997年發表於《本土心理學研究》的靶子論文，以及七位學者回應的論辯文章，重新思考在超過二十年後的今天，台灣的心理學者可以如何思考本土契合性的議題，以生產台灣在地的心理學知識。透過爬梳本土契合性的相關文本，筆者認為本土契合性的論理內涵，是研究者善用文化默會之知的實踐技藝，並以同情同理的修養作為，與研究對象達到一種互為主體性的意義共構，將尚未被說出的台灣本土心理經驗現象，用他者的語言恰當地說出。因此，心理學研究活動不僅限於理性的智性思辨，未來本土心理學持續思索的方向，需包含深刻人文涵養與對在地文化的同理關懷。

"According to K. S. Yang, the core concern of indigenous psychology is to examine psychological phenomenon in its native context. Only in this way can indigenous knowledge be generated. It cannot be transported or adapted from other regions, such as American psychology. According to Yang, in order to achieve indigenous compatibility (IC) the researcher’s theory, concepts, methods, tools, and findings must reflect the local psychological or behavioral phenomenon in its local context. IC was introduced more than 20 years ago. It was a revolutionary idea in the 1990s that promoted the development of indigenous psychology in Taiwan. However, indigenous researchers have criticized IC as an over analyzed concept that is mired in etic-emic issues. In this article, I revisit the concept of IC by reviewing Yang’s initial 1997 article and the 7 related response papers published in an issue of Indigenous Psychological Research in Chinese Societies."
