| 摘要 | The purpose of this study was to systematically account for a number of apparently conflicting theories of human motivation by assigning them to separate levels of a hierarchically structured metatheory. It was hypothesized that certain major psychological theories of motivation in the West could find phenomenological parallels with corresponding concepts in the East. It was further hypothesized that there exists in the East a model which could not only incorporate the concepts of six important Western theories, but integrate them in such a way that they are not viewed as being contradictory (as they are in the West) but rather as complementary aspects of a multi-dimensional phenomenon. The metatheoretical model in question belongs to Tibetan Vajrayana Buddhism, and based upon a phenomenological consonance between Eastern and Western concepts, the theories of Freud, Adler, Jung, Frankl, Maslow and Rogers were selected. There is also a seventh concept of motivation included in the Tibetan model which has no well-defined equivalent in the West, and involves the synthesis of the aforementioned theories. The methodology and design involved a phenomenological investigation of ideas, both Eastern and Western which contributed to the formation of shared concepts of motivation. This investigation made use of a series of seven integrated narratives based upon historically documented sources of information. The study concluded that the Tibetan Buddhist model was suitably adaptable to a metatheoretical hierarchy of human motivation. A developmental trend could be defined in terms of motivation; and a phenomenological analysis suggested that on the basis of the concepts described herein, the several essential forms of motivation are universal, transcultural and transhistorical. |
