认知地图技术是用来获取个体对某个特定领域独特理解的图形化描述的一系列方法的总称,包括认知诱发技术与分析技术。在详细阐述其概念、原理的基础上,本文结合一个共享心智模型的研究实例,展示了认知地图技术应用的一般步骤。然后,介绍了认知地图技术在管理心理学中的应用。并针对认知地图技术存在的问题,对未来的研究进行了展望,即从认知地图技术的理论、应用及软件等方面开展深入研究。
The cognitive mapping technique, including eliciting and analyzing techniques, represents a collective term for a set of techniques which allow the researcher to obtain graphical representations of individual understanding of a particular domain. This paper elaborated its concept and principle and presented general steps of this technique through an example of shared mental models. And then we introduced its application in management psychology. It is essential that future studies pay more attention to the study of its theory, application, and software in depth given the existing problems of the technique.
