1. Conformity: Types and Explanations | 从众：类型与解释
Conformity is a change in behaviour or belief due to real or imagined group pressure. Kelman (1958) distinguished three types: internalisation (genuine acceptance of the group’s views), identification (temporary change to fit a valued group), and compliance (superficial change while privately disagreeing).
从众是指由于真实或想象到的群体压力而导致的行为或信念改变。凯尔曼 (1958) 区分了三种类型：内化（真正接受群体观点）、认同（为融入所重视的群体而暂时改变）和顺从（私下不赞同的表面改变）。
Informational social influence (ISI) explains conformity when people accept others’ opinions as evidence about reality, often leading to internalisation. Normative social influence (NSI) stems from a desire to be liked and accepted, typically producing compliance.
信息性社会影响解释了个体将他人观点当作现实证据而接受的情况，通常导致内化。规范性社会影响源于希望被喜欢和接纳，一般产生顺从。
2. Obedience and Key Studies | 服从与关键研究
Obedience refers to following direct commands from an authority figure. Milgram (1963) designed a famous experiment where 65% of participants administered shocks up to 450V, demonstrating the power of legitimate authority and the agentic state.
服从指听从权威人物直接命令的行为。米尔格拉姆 (1963) 设计了一项著名实验，65% 的被试施加了高达 450 伏的电击，展示了合法权威和代理人状态的力量。
Situational factors influencing obedience include proximity (when the learner was in the same room, obedience dropped), location (a run-down office reduced obedience), and uniform (a less authoritative uniform decreased obedience). Milgram also proposed that when people act as agents for an authority, they enter an agentic state, feeling no personal responsibility.
影响服从的情境因素包括距离（当学习者在同一房间时，服从下降）、地点（破旧办公室降低服从）和制服（缺少权威性服装减弱服从）。米尔格拉姆还提出当个体作为权威的代理人行动时，会进入代理人状态，感到无需个人承担责任。
3. Resistance to Social Influence | 抵抗社会影响
Social support can help individuals resist conformity and obedience. Asch found that even one dissenting confederate reduced conformity from 37% to 5%. In Milgram’s variations, disobedient peers also lowered obedience rates.
社会支持有助于个体抵抗从众与服从。阿希发现哪怕只有一名持异议的假被试，也能将从众率从 37% 降至 5%。在米尔格拉姆的变式中，不服从的同伴同样降低了服从率。
Locus of control (Rotter, 1966) is a personality dimension. People with an internal locus believe they control their own actions, making them more likely to resist social influence. Externals feel outcomes are determined by luck or others, so they conform and obey more readily.
控制点 (罗特, 1966) 是一个人格维度。内控者相信自己的行为由自己掌控，因而更可能抵抗社会影响。外控者认为结果取决于运气或他人，因此更容易从众和服从。
4. Memory: Multi-Store and Working Memory Models | 记忆：多存储与工作记忆模型
The multi-store model (Atkinson and Shiffrin, 1968) describes memory as three unitary stores: sensory register (modality-specific, very brief), short-term memory (limited capacity 7±2 chunks, duration about 18–30 seconds), and long-term memory (potentially unlimited capacity and duration). Information moves via attention and rehearsal.
多存储模型 (阿特金森和谢夫林, 1968) 将记忆描述为三个单一存储库：感觉登记器（特定感觉通道、极短）、短时记忆（容量有限 7±2 组块，时长约 18–30 秒）和长时记忆（容量和时长几乎无限）。信息通过注意和复述传递。
Baddeley and Hitch (1974) proposed the working memory model to address STM’s complexity. The central executive directs attention; the phonological loop processes verbal information via the phonological store and articulatory control process; the visuo-spatial sketchpad handles visual and spatial data; the episodic buffer integrates information from other components and links to LTM.
巴德利和希奇 (1974) 提出工作记忆模型来解释短时记忆的复杂性。中央执行系统调控注意；语音回路通过语音存储和发音控制过程加工言语信息；视空间画板处理视觉和空间数据；情景缓冲器整合来自其他成分的信息并与长时记忆相连。
5. Types of Long-Term Memory and Forgetting | 长时记忆类型与遗忘
Tulving (1985) identified three types of LTM: episodic (personal events), semantic (facts and concepts), and procedural (skills and actions). Brain scans support this division, showing different regions activated for each type.
托尔文 (1985) 确定了三种长时记忆：情景记忆（个人事件）、语义记忆（事实与概念）和程序性记忆（技能与动作）。脑扫描支持这一划分，显示不同类型激活不同脑区。
Forgetting in LTM can be explained by interference theory. Proactive interference occurs when old learning disrupts new recall; retroactive interference is when new learning disrupts old recall. Retrieval failure theory suggests forgetting occurs when cues present at encoding are absent at recall (e.g., context-dependent forgetting).
长时记忆的遗忘可用干扰理论解释。前摄干扰指旧学习干扰新回忆；倒摄干扰指新学习干扰旧回忆。提取失败理论认为当编码时的线索在回忆时缺失，就会导致遗忘（如环境依赖遗忘）。
6. Eyewitness Testimony: Factors Affecting Accuracy | 目击证词：影响准确性的因素
Misleading information (Loftus and Palmer, 1974) can distort memory. Participants who heard ‘smashed’ estimated higher speeds than those who heard ‘hit’, and were more likely to report seeing broken glass. This shows post-event discussion can alter recall.
误导信息 (洛夫特斯和帕尔默, 1974) 会扭曲记忆。听到“撞碎”的被试估计的车速高于听到“碰撞”的被试，并且更可能报告看到了碎玻璃。这表明事后讨论能改变回忆。
Anxiety can both impair and enhance recall. The Yerkes-Dodson law suggests moderate anxiety yields best performance. Weapon focus effect demonstrates that high anxiety narrows attention to a weapon, reducing accuracy of other details. The cognitive interview (Fisher and Geiselman, 1992) improves recall through context reinstatement, report everything, change order, and change perspective techniques.
焦虑既可能削弱也可能增强回忆。耶克斯–多德森定律表明中等焦虑导致最佳表现。武器聚焦效应显示高焦虑使注意集中在武器上，降低其他细节的准确性。认知访谈 (费希尔和盖泽尔曼, 1992) 通过情境复置、报告一切、改变顺序和改变视角等技术改善回忆。
7. Attachment: Caregiver–Infant Interactions and Stages | 依恋：照料者–婴儿互动与发展阶段
Attachment is an emotional bond between infant and caregiver, demonstrated by reciprocity (mutual turn‑taking) and interactional synchrony (mirroring actions and emotions). Meltzoff and Moore (1977) found infants as young as two weeks can imitate facial expressions.
依恋是婴儿与照料者之间的情感纽带，表现为互惠式互动（轮流响应）和交互式同步（模仿行为与情绪）。梅尔佐夫和摩尔 (1977) 发现仅两周大的婴儿就能模仿面部表情。
Schaffer and Emerson (1964) outlined four stages of attachment: pre‑attachment (0–3 months, indiscriminate social responses), indiscriminate attachment (3–7 months, preference for familiar people), specific attachment (7–9 months, stranger anxiety and separation protest), and multiple attachments (9 months onwards).
谢弗和爱默生 (1964) 勾勒了依恋的四个阶段：前依恋期（0–3 个月，无差别社交回应）、无差别依恋期（3–7 个月，偏好熟悉者）、特定依恋期（7–9 个月，陌生人焦虑和分离抗议）和多重依恋期（9 个月后）。
8. Types of Attachment and Cultural Variations | 依恋类型与文化差异
Ainsworth’s Strange Situation (1978) assessed attachment through infant responses to separations and reunions with the caregiver. Three main types were identified: secure (distressed when caregiver leaves, easily comforted on return), insecure‑avoidant (ignores caregiver, indifferent), and insecure‑resistant (clingy, resists comfort).
安斯沃思的陌生情境法 (1978) 通过婴儿与照料者分离和重聚时的反应评估依恋。识别出三种主要类型：安全型（照料者离开时痛苦，归来时容易得到安抚）、不安全–回避型（忽视照料者、淡漠）和不安全–反抗型（黏人、抗拒安抚）。
Cultural variations exist. Van IJzendoorn and Kroonenberg (1988) found secure attachment was most common across eight countries, but insecure‑resistant rates were higher in Japan (collectivist, close parenting) while insecure‑avoidant was higher in Germany (valuing independence). This suggests child‑rearing practices shape attachment patterns.
存在文化差异。范·伊曾多恩和克罗嫩伯格 (1988) 发现八个国家中安全型依恋最常见，但日本（集体主义、亲密养育）的不安全–反抗型比例更高，而德国（重视独立性）的不安全–回避型更高。这表明育儿实践塑造依恋模式。
9. Bowlby’s Theory and Maternal Deprivation | 鲍尔比理论与母爱剥夺
Bowlby (1969) proposed an evolutionary explanation: infants are born with innate behaviours (social releasers) that elicit caregiving. The monotropic bond with one primary caregiver, formed during the critical period (first 2–3 years), provides an internal working model for future relationships. Disruption of this bond can cause long‑term social, emotional, and cognitive impairment.
鲍尔比 (1969) 提出了进化论解释：婴儿天生具有引发照料行为的先天行为（社会释放器）。在关键期（头 2–3 年）与一个主要照料者形成的单一依恋纽带提供了未来关系的内部工作模型。此纽带的断裂可导致长期的社交、情绪和认知损害。
Bowlby’s maternal deprivation hypothesis (1951) asserted that prolonged separation from the mother damages emotional and intellectual development. His 44 thieves study linked early separation to affectionless psychopathy. However, critics argue that privation (absence of attachment) is more harmful than deprivation, and that later positive experiences can mitigate some effects.
鲍尔比的母爱剥夺假说 (1951) 声称与母亲的长期分离损害情感与智力发展。他的 44 名少年小偷研究将早期分离与情感淡薄型精神病态联系起来。但批评者指出剥夺型缺乏（完全没有依恋）比分离更严重，且后续积极经历能缓解部分影响。
10. Approaches in Psychology: Key Perspectives | 心理学方法：关键视角
The behaviourist approach emphasises observable behaviour learned through conditioning. Classical conditioning (Pavlov) involves association between a neutral stimulus and an unconditioned response; operant conditioning (Skinner) describes learning through reinforcement and punishment.
行为主义方法强调通过条件作用习得的可观察行为。经典条件作用 (巴甫洛夫) 涉及中性刺激与无条件反应之间的联结；操作性条件作用 (斯金纳) 描述通过强化和惩罚进行的学习。
Social learning theory (Bandura) adds cognitive factors: learning occurs via observation and imitation of role models, moderated by attention, retention, motivation, and motor reproduction. Vicarious reinforcement – seeing a model rewarded – increases imitation.
社会学习理论 (班杜拉) 加入了认知因素：学习通过观察和模仿榜样发生，受注意、保持、动机和动作再现调节。替代强化——看到榜样受到奖励——会增加模仿。
The cognitive approach studies internal mental processes like memory, perception, and thinking using models and inferences. Schema theory explains how mental frameworks organise and interpret information. The biological approach emphasises genetics, brain structure, and neurochemistry (e.g., role of serotonin in mood).
认知方法使用模型和推论研究记忆、感知和思维等内部心理过程。图式理论解释心智框架如何组织和解释信息。生物学方法强调遗传、脑结构和神经化学（如血清素在情绪中的作用）。
The psychodynamic approach (Freud) highlights unconscious drives, childhood experiences, and the tripartite personality (id, ego, superego). Defence mechanisms protect the ego from anxiety.
心理动力学方法 (弗洛伊德) 强调无意识驱力、童年经历和三重人格结构（本我、自我、超我）。防御机制保护自我免受焦虑影响。
11. Psychopathology: Defining Abnormality and Disorders | 心理病理学：异常定义与障碍
Definitions of abnormality include statistical infrequency (rare traits), deviation from social norms (behaviour violating accepted rules), failure to function adequately (inability to cope with daily life, as measured by criteria like personal distress), and deviation from ideal mental health (Jahoda’s criteria such as autonomy and self‑actualisation).
异常的定义包括统计罕见（稀有特质）、偏离社会规范（违反公认规则的行为）、未能正常运作（无法应对日常生活，根据个人痛苦等标准衡量）以及偏离理想心理健康（贾霍达的标准包括自主性和自我实现）。
Key disorders studied are phobias (characterised by behavioural avoidance, emotional fear and anxiety, cognitive irrational thinking), depression (behavioural inactivity, emotional sadness, cognitive negative self‑schemas), and OCD (behavioural compulsions, emotional anxiety, cognitive obsessive thoughts). Biological explanations for OCD include genetic vulnerability and abnormal serotonin levels.
学习的核心障碍包括恐惧症（行为回避、情绪恐惧和焦虑、认知非理性思维）、抑郁症（行为活动减少、情绪低落、认知上的负面自我图式）和强迫症（行为强迫、情绪焦虑、认知强迫思维）。强迫症的生物学解释包括遗传易感性和血清素水平异常。
12. Research Methods and Ethical Considerations | 研究方法与伦理考量
Experiments test cause‑and‑effect relationships by manipulating an independent variable (IV) and measuring a dependent variable (DV). Key features include the experimental hypothesis, operationalised variables, controls, and random allocation (in true experiments). Research designs include independent groups, repeated measures, and matched pairs.
实验通过操纵自变量并测量因变量来检验因果关系。关键特征包括实验假设、操作性变量、控制和随机分配（在真实实验中）。研究设计包括独立组、重复测量和匹配对设计。
Ethical guidelines from the BPS protect participants through informed consent, right to withdraw, confidentiality, deception avoidance, and debriefing. If deception is necessary, a cost‑benefit analysis must be conducted and the purpose explained afterwards.
英国心理学会的伦理准则通过知情同意、退出权、保密、避免欺骗和事后说明来保护参与者。如果欺骗不可避免，必须进行成本–效益分析并在事后解释目的。
Data analysis includes descriptive statistics (mean, median, mode, range, standard deviation) and graphical representations. Correlational studies show relationships but do not imply causation.
数据分析包括描述统计（平均数、中位数、众数、全距、标准差）和图表表示。相关研究显示关系但不揭示因果关系。
