In this article I define and describe the current state of internationalization in psychology. Internationalization refers here to the approach in which existing or new psychological theories, methods, procedures, or data across cultures are synthesized so as to create a more culture-informed, inclusive, and globally applicable science and profession. This approach is essential to advance psychology beyond its Euro-American context of development and to achieve a more global applicability of its theories and professional procedures. Internationalization already has led to a better integration of cultural aspects in various psychological theories, to more insight into how to deal with methodological aspects of intact group comparisons (such as bias and equivalence), and to the development of guidelines in areas such as test development, test adaptations, ethics codes, and Internet testing. I review systemic and scientific climate factors in psychology that thwart the progress of internationalization, and conclude by suggesting methods of enhancing internationalization, which is essential for developing a truly universal psychology.
在本文中，我定义并描述了心理学国际化的现状。这里的国际化是指通过综合现有或新的跨文化心理学理论、方法、程序或数据，从而创造出一种更具文化意识、更具包容性且更能适用于全球的科学和专业。这种方法对于超越心理学的欧美发展背景、实现其理论和专业程序更广泛的全球适用性至关重要。国际化已经导致各种心理学理论中更好地融入了文化方面，更深入地了解如何处理完整群体比较的方法学方面（例如偏见和等效性），并在测试开发、测试适应、道德规范和互联网测试等领域制定了准则。我回顾了心理学中阻碍国际化进程的系统性和科学气候因素，并最后提出了增强国际化的方法，这对于发展真正普遍适用的心理学至关重要。
