The psychological sciences are suffering from the primacy of the "here and now" and from a radical utilitarian view of science-this is certainly true in less affluent countries around the world. Portugal is a particular case study, as both psychology departments and funding agencies are largely biased toward applied psychology-but this is a more global trend. The field needs to find a balance between applied and basic psychology to better respond to the challenges of tomorrow.
心理学界深受“此时此地”的主导地位和科学的激进功利主义观点的影响——在世界各地不太富裕的国家，这种情况肯定是如此。葡萄牙是一个特别的案例研究，因为心理学系和资助机构在很大程度上偏向于应用心理学——但这是一个更具全球性的趋势。该领域需要在应用心理学和基础心理学之间找到平衡，以更好地应对明天的挑战。
