本文以强化内部控制与外部控制的广义期望结构为模型，简要阐述了广义理论和训练在心理学理论构建和评价中的重要性。具体地说，这一概念的超乎寻常的启发式价值归因于四个特点：定义的性质、该概念在理论背景下的仔细嵌入、在构建个体差异度量时使用广泛的行为理论、原始研究的纲领性以及早期出版物的格式。还讨论了重新评估研究研究发表和参与研究活动的心理学家的晋升或进步评估的特征标准。
In this article the construct of generalized expectancies for internal versus external control of reinforcement is used as a model to present a brief on the importance of broad theory and training in theory construction and evaluation in psychology. Specifically, the extraordinary heuristic value of this construct is attributed to four characteristics: the nature of the definition, the careful imbedding of the construct in a theoretical context, the use of a broad behavior theory in construction of a measure of individual differences, and the programmatic nature of the original research as well as the format of the early publications. Reevaluation of the characteristic criteria for publication of research studies and for the evaluation of promotion or advancement for psychologists involved in research activities is also discussed.
