The purpose of this paper was to review the theoretical underpinnings, major concepts, and methods of the typological approach. It was argued that the typological approach offers a systematic, empirically rigorous and reliable way to synthesize the nomothetic variable-centered approach with the idiographic case-centered approach. Recent advances in cluster analysis validation make it a promising method for uncovering natural typologies. This paper also reviewed findings from personality and family studies that have revealed 3 prototypical personalities and parenting styles: Adjusted/Authoritative, Overcontrolled/Authoritarian, and Undercontrolled/Permissive. These prototypes are theorized to be synonymous with attractor basins in psychological state space. The connection between family types and personality structure as well as future directions of typological research were also discussed.
本文旨在回顾类型学方法的理论基础、主要概念和方法。有人认为，类型学方法提供了一种系统的、经验严谨且可靠的方式，将以变量为中心的通则式方法与以案例为中心的个案式方法相结合。聚类分析验证方面的最新进展使其成为揭示自然类型的一种有前景的方法。本文还回顾了人格和家庭研究的结果，这些研究揭示了三种典型的人格和养育方式：调适型/权威型、过度控制型/专制型和控制不足型/放任型。这些原型在理论上被认为与心理状态空间中的吸引子盆地同义。还讨论了家庭类型与人格结构之间的联系以及类型学研究的未来方向。
