Contemplative psychology is concerned with the psychological study of contemplative processes and practices, such as meditation, mindfulness, yoga, introspection, reflection, metacognition, self-regulation, self-awareness, and self-consciousness. Although contemplative psychology borders with other psychological and nonpsychological disciplines, some of its underlying assumptions distinguish it from other remits of psychological and scholarly inquiry, as do its component areas of empirical focus, conceptual nuances, and challenges. Furthermore, the discipline has tended to be somewhat disparate in its approach to investigating the core techniques and principles of which it is composed, resulting in a need for greater intradisciplinary and interdisciplinary awareness of the commonalities and differences of core contemplative psychology attributes. As a remedy to these issues, in this article, we adopt a whole-discipline perspective and aim to explicate contemplative psychology's history, breadth, key assumptions, challenges, and future directions.
静观心理学关注对静观过程与实践的心理学研究，如冥想、正念、瑜伽、内省、反思、元认知、自我调节、自我意识和自我觉知。尽管静观心理学与其他心理学和非心理学学科有交叉，但它的一些基本假设使其有别于心理学和学术探究的其他领域，其经验关注的组成领域、概念细微差别和挑战也是如此。此外，该学科在研究其构成的核心技术和原则时，方法往往有些分散，因此需要在学科内部和跨学科领域对静观心理学核心属性的共性和差异有更强的认识。作为对这些问题的补救措施，在本文中，我们采用全学科视角，旨在阐述静观心理学的历史、广度、关键假设、挑战和未来方向。
