1. Objects and tasks of psychological technology ^[1]

We call the original psychological technology the classic psychological technology. Now the new system is called modern psychological technology. Modern psychological technology is a comprehensive applied theoretical discipline that applies the principles of modern psychology and psychological tests, measurement, statistics and other technical means to study individual and group psychological problems in the actual sector of social life. This definition covers three aspects of the principles and methods of psychological technology, the object and scope of research, and its subject nature. Its content system consists of the following four main aspects. ^[2]

1. As far as the individual is concerned, it is a technique for assessing the psychological quality of personnel.

The evaluation of personnel psychological quality is a quantitative study of the psychological attributes of people. It is the use of psychological measurement and testing methods to measure and evaluate the psychological processes and characteristics of various types of personnel. The assessment content includes general quality assessment, intelligence assessment, sexual orientation assessment, personality assessment. The assessment materials include paper and pen tests, shape board tests, and instrument tests. Assessment can be applied to various aspects such as educational psychology, professional psychology, clinical psychology and so on. We are conducting research on the psychological quality test of automobile drivers and the psychological characteristics test of Sichuan shooting athletes. We deeply feel that the effectiveness of personnel psychological quality assessment depends to a large extent on following certain principles. This is the principle of combining assessment screening with training improvement. The principle of combining static assessment with dynamic analysis, the principle of combining general assessment with special assessment, the principle of combining quantitative and qualitative principles. The principle of combining internationalization with China .

2. As far as the group is concerned, it is a psycho-psychological survey technique.

Sociopsychological survey is to measure and investigate the psychological tendency of group breaks in society. Psychological tendencies include: social needs, attitudes towards people and things, and interpersonal relationships in groups. This investigation makes ideological and political education, various reform measures, personnel organization management, etc. more targeted and scientific. For example, the research on the interpersonal relations of retired cadres and the research on the differences in psychological responses, which I chair or direct, provide a psychological scientific basis for the work of relevant departments; research on the psychology of disasters, in order to improve the level of disaster prevention, response and relief work, Reducing the physical and psychological impact of disasters on disaster victims provides a psychological science basis. Socio-psychological survey techniques are mainly the design of questionnaires and the use of scales. Attitude measurement mainly includes Thurston Zeve scale method (isometric method), Likert scale method (total scale method), social distance measurement scale method, semantic analysis scale method, behavior response measurement method, freedom Reaction method and so on. Interpersonal measurement includes social measurement and reference measurement.

3. In terms of individual and group psychological disorders, it is psychological counseling and treatment techniques.

Psychological counseling Through counseling, the cognition, emotions, and attitudes of the counselors are changed, so that they can adapt to the environment and maintain their physical and mental health. Psychotherapy uses psychological theories and techniques to correct psychological, behavioral disorders, and mental (psychological) diseases. To determine whether there are psychological, behavioral disorders, and mental illnesses, and to determine their nature and extent, a psychological diagnosis must be performed first. Common psychological diagnostic methods include case method, interview method, observation method, measurement method, and clinical neuropsychological examination. The sinicization of the diagnosis basin table is very important, and it is impossible to copy the foreign psychological scale to fully reflect the psychological characteristics of the Chinese. We have conducted a preliminary exploration of the mental health assessment scale for college students in China. We must not only learn from the methods and techniques of effective psychological counseling and treatment in foreign countries, but also apply the thoughts and methods of traditional Chinese psychotherapy that are still scientific to the present day to the practice of psychotherapy, and implement the combination of Chinese and Western. The main methods of traditional Chinese psychotherapy are: enlightenment and consolation method, the method of victorious love, the method of learning and hearing, the method of deceiving and deceiving, the method of eliminating sorrow and joy, the method of qigong guidance, and the method of refining and changing Qi.

4. As far as the economy is the center of social activities of individuals and groups, it is economic psychological technology.

Economic psychology is a multidisciplinary comprehensive research centered on consumer behavior. (Old) Satohiro Hito said: "The so-called economic psychology is neither a field of economics nor a field of psychology. Instead, it studies economics and psychology through the study of the study of human economic behavior. A new comprehensive science born after the integration of science, sociology, and cultural anthropology. "We believe that economic psychological technology will focus on the discussion: First, the model and research theory of consumer behavior. Consumption is the central link of advertising, consumption, and marketing. Studying consumer behavior is the foundation and key to developing advertising and marketing. Second, market survey and forecasting technology, using interview methods, questionnaire methods, measurement methods, statistical methods and other technical means, to carry out surveys, descriptive, causal, predictive and other categories of research. Third, corporate image and identification system issues. It is necessary to study the psychological functions of product image, brand image, and corporate image, establish an image factor system, and then determine the technology of marketing advertising strategies. In the enterprise identification system, it should be determined to be dominated by idea recognition (Ml) and unified with behavior recognition (BI) and visual recognition (VD) to establish a corporate image.
