Over the course of 3 decades, from the turn of the century to the late 1920s, Mary Whiton Calkins articulated and defended a system of self-psychology that held that psychology as a field should be organized as the science of selves. Calkins' system was far from popular at the time, which leads one to question why she persisted in dedicating herself to the cause of defending it. Previous research has sought answers to this question through examination of Calkins' experience as a faculty member at Wellesley College. In this article it is additonally argued that Calkins was not prepared to abandon her system of self-psychology because it was intricately connected to her ideas about ethics and morality.
在从世纪之交到20世纪20年代后期的30年时间里，玛丽·惠顿·卡尔金斯阐述并捍卫了一种自我心理学体系，该体系认为心理学作为一个领域应被组织为关于自我的科学。卡尔金斯的体系在当时远非流行，这让人不禁要问她为何坚持致力于捍卫它。先前的研究通过考察卡尔金斯在韦尔斯利学院担任教员的经历来寻找这个问题的答案。在本文中，还进一步论证了卡尔金斯不准备放弃她的自我心理学体系，因为它与她关于伦理和道德的观念紧密相连。
