这篇文章回应了Wright和Kirby（本期）对我们的生物心理社会（BPS）挑战和威胁动机分析的批评。我们通过回顾我们理论的现状以及支持数据来反驳他们的论点，然后转向他们的具体批评。我们认为Wright和Kirby未能准确地代表我们工作的主体，包括我们的理论模型及其支持数据。他们从一个上下文，理性经济的角度来批评我们的模型，忽略了人与人和人与环境相互作用的复杂性和主观性，以及无意识的影响。最后，他们对我们模型的前因成分可能特异性不足提出了批评，这些前因成分并没有太多地表明理论缺陷，而是为未来的研究提供了重要而有趣的问题。我们的结论是肯定我们的挑战和威胁的BPS模型是一个不断发展的，生成的理论，旨在了解挑战和威胁状态下的人格和社会心理因素的复杂性。
This article responds to Wright and Kirby's (this issue) critique of our biopsychosocial (BPS) analysis of challenge and threat motivation. We counter their arguments by reviewing the current state of our theory as well as supporting data, then turn to their specific criticisms. We believe that Wright and Kirby failed to accurately represent the corpus of our work, including both our theoretical model and its supporting data. They critiqued our model from a contextual, rational-economic perspective that ignores the complexity and subjectivity of person-person and person-environmental interactions as well as nonconscious influences. Finally, they provided criticisms regarding possible underspecificity of antecedent components of our model that do not so much indicate theoretical flaws as provide important and interesting questions for future research. We conclude by affirming that our BPS model of challenge and threat is an evolving, generative theory directed toward understanding the complexity of personality and social psychological factors underlying challenge and threat states.
