Psychologists' appropriation of language and ideas from Thomas Kuhn's (1962, 1970b) The Structure of Scientific Revolutions reveals deep and contradictory concerns about truth, science, and the progress of the field. The author argues that psychologists, uncomfortably straddling natural and social science traditions, reference Structure for 2 reasons largely overlooked: first, because it presents an intermediate, naturalistic position in the war between relativist and rationalist views of scientific truth, and second, because it presents a psychologized model of scientific change. The author suggests that the history of this mutual influence--psychologists being influenced by Kuhn and vice versa--may usefully inform current practices of psychological science.
心理学家对托马斯·库恩（1962年、1970年b）的《科学革命的结构》中的语言和思想的挪用，揭示了对真理、科学以及该领域发展的深刻且相互矛盾的担忧。作者认为，心理学家尴尬地横跨自然科学和社会科学传统，引用《结构》主要有两个被很大程度上忽视的原因：其一，因为它在科学真理的相对主义和理性主义观点之争中呈现了一种中间的、自然主义的立场；其二，因为它呈现了一种科学变革的心理学化模型。作者表明，这种相互影响的历史——心理学家受库恩影响，反之亦然——可能会对当前心理科学的实践有所助益。
