摘要

Abstract

This article deals on the one hand with the direct influence of the May Fourth Movement on the development of psychology as a scientific study in China

and on the other hand

with the indirect influence of World War 1 on psychology as it was established in Europe. Following the urgent call of "Mr Science" during and after the May Fourth Movement

Western psychology was imported on a large scale. This Western import-psychology gradually became an independent scientific field of study

institutionalized and embedded in universities

and infused with scientific rigor. During the period when psychology as a science started to develop in China

the in Europe prevalent analytical psychology was strongly influenced by far-reaching WW1 events occurring in China. The mutual influencing has resulted today in a merging of ancient Chinese and Western psychological paradigms.
