As the primary value system in Chinese culture for almost 2,000 years, Confucianism has profoundly influenced the mindset of Chinese people. Cultural psychology studies have highlighted that individuals with different cultural backgrounds vary in their preferences for certain personality traits, such as self-construal, and their metacognitive characteristics, such as thinking modes. Compared with Western cultures, Chinese culture shows a preference for the interdependent self and holistic thinking. To investigate the relationship between the relational-interdependent self, holistic thinking, and traditional Chinese values (which are represented by Confucian values), we surveyed 327 Chinese adults using the Confucian Traditional Values Survey, Holistic Thinking Scale, and Relational-Interdependent Self-Construal Scale. The results show that Confucian values positively influence both holistic thinking and the relational-interdependent self, the latter of which partially mediates the positive relationship between Confucian values and holistic thinking. This study deepens the understanding of the psychological features of Chinese culture.
在近两千年的时间里，儒家思想作为中国文化的主要价值体系，深刻影响了中国人的思维方式。文化心理学研究表明，具有不同文化背景的个体在某些人格特质（如自我建构）的偏好以及元认知特征（如思维模式）方面存在差异。与西方文化相比，中国文化更倾向于相互依存的自我和整体思维。为了探究关系型相互依存自我、整体思维与中国传统价值观（以儒家价值观为代表）之间的关系，我们使用儒家传统价值观调查问卷、整体思维量表和关系型相互依存自我建构量表对327名中国成年人进行了调查。结果表明，儒家价值观对整体思维和关系型相互依存自我都有积极影响，其中关系型相互依存自我在儒家价值观与整体思维的积极关系中起到部分中介作用。本研究加深了对中国文化心理特征的理解。
