In this paper I argue that while McDougall's theory of instincts is widely regarded as having been discarded by mid-1920's psychologists, it in fact continued to be influential in the work of some later psychologists. A case-study is presented which analyzes the development of E.C. Tolman's concept of "demand" (purpose, determining adjustment, instinct) out of McDougall's earlier notion of "instinct".
在本文中,我认为,虽然麦克杜格尔的本能理论被20世纪20年代中期的心理学家广泛视为已被摒弃,但事实上它在一些后来的心理学家的著作中仍具影响力。本文呈现了一个案例研究,分析了E.C.托尔曼的 “需求”(目的、决定调节、本能)概念是如何从麦克杜格尔早期的 “本能” 概念发展而来的。
