当我开始编写这一章时,我正在加勒比地区参加一个讲习班,目的是提高心理学家和心理组织利用该学科的适合文化的科学标准的能力,从而更密切地满足普通民众的需要。文化和种族背景的多样性、不稳定的经济和移民浪潮带来的紧迫挑战以及与会者的热情给我留下了深刻印象。显然,年轻人占加勒比岛屿人口的很大一部分,受到世界这一地区所有全球化问题的影响。然而,该区域关于青少年的研究和教学还处于起步阶段,面临的挑战是调整来自西方国家的知识,以适应当地的情况和区域机会。这个场景让我想起了我自己作为学术训练领域通往心理学的复杂道路,并从那里到我在当今发展科学中的地位。
When I started working on this chapter, I was attending a workshop in the Caribbean aimed at increasing the capacity of psychologists and psychology organizations to utilize culture-appropriate scientific standards of the discipline and thereby to meet the needs of the general population more closely. I was impressed by the variety of cultural and ethnic backgrounds, by the pressing challenges of precarious economies and migration waves presented, and by the enthusiasm of the participants. It was obvious that young people made up a huge portion of the population in the islands of the Caribbean, affected by all the problems of globalization in this part of the world. Research and teaching on adolescence in the region, however, is in its very beginnings, and the challenge is to adjust knowledge from Western countries to fit local circumstances and regional opportunities. This scenario reminded me of my own complex pathway to psychology as a field of academic training, and from there to my place in today's developmental science.
