摘要:

本文撰写的目的是, 藉助分析COVID-19疫情控制的应急心理机制, 提出一个思考中国人“自我”的新架构, 希望未来它能成为研究这一热门研究领域的新进路。沿用中国传统流传下来、但却一直被沿用至今的中庸思维, 以及其内涵的“阴阳思维”及“全息思维”作为立论基础, 提出“中庸行动我”的构念。它是指个体在选择及执行解决问题之具体行动方案时, 依现实“情境需求”, 灵活地“协调”出一个最恰当的“行动我”, 以配合集体战疫的需要及功效。“中庸行动我”这一构念的提出, 不仅只是为了解释战疫的成效, 更重要的是它欲反映出中国人思维“灵活性”的根源, 从而可以作为研究“中国人自我”的另类进路, 不再只是以跨文化研究进路所关注的“本质自我”为主要立论基础, 从而丰富了该领域现有的知识内涵。

Abstract:

This paper adopts an indigenous approach to explain why China can contain the COVID-19 Crisis swiftly and efficiently. For this purpose, it proposes a new conceptualization for studying the Chinese self—the Zhong- yong action self.

The action self refers to the self, activated by the situation an individual is facing, based on which the actor thinks about and decides the proper action to take. During the COVID-19 Crisis, beside the individuated self (the small self), many other more inclusive selves (the large selves), such as the family self, the community self, and the country self, are being mobilized at the same time, all of which demand the actor to exercise self-control and to help others to achieve the common goal—defeating the virus. This concerted effort thereby creates strength and flexibility in managing the crisis.

In every-day life situation, the many selves activated may demand conflicting actions from the actor. An adoption of the Zhong-yong deliberation process negotiate the most appropriate action, to help maintain inner peace and outer harmony with others and the flux environment. The author hopes that this new formulation will lead to new directions to the study of “the Chinese self.”

Key words: Chinese self, action self, Zhong-yong action self, Zhong-yong action deliberation, Ying-yang thinking, holistic thinking.
