课程原文：

This is David Myers here with you again, as we conclude this book, by looking at how social psychological principles are alive in the clinic, the courtroom and in the creation of a sustainable future. 
我是戴维·迈尔斯，随着本书接近尾声，我们将探讨社会心理学原理如何在诊所、法庭和创造可持续发展的未来中发挥作用。
We begin in chapter 14 by applying social psychological principles to Clinical Psychology, which assesses and treats people with psychological difficulties. 
从第14章开始，我们将社会心理学原理应用于临床心理学，评估和治疗心理疾病患者。

First, we will consider how accurate are the judgments and assessments of clinical psychologist?How might they be affected by phenomena we've considered in earlier chapters？
首先，我们需要考虑临床心理学家评估中的判断有多准确？这些判断会如何受到前面章节中提到的现象的影响？
By, for example, illusory correlations. if a clinician expects and didn't see something or by hindsight bias or with overconfidence in their judgments, or with confirmation bias that leads clinicians to seek support, for their clinical intuition, and to be overconfident of it.
例如，通过错觉相关，如果临床医生带有期望，然后看到一些东西，或者通过事后的偏见，或者过度自信于他们的判断，或者通过确认偏见，导致临床医生为他们的临床直觉寻求支持和导致过度自信。

Second, we’ll consider the people who suffer psychological disorders such as depression. How does their thinking and their explanations of the events of their lives, create and sustain a depressed mood or loneliness, or anxiety, or sickness? 
第二，我们将研究那些患有抑郁症等心理障碍的患者，他们的思维和对生活事件的解释是如何引起和维持抑郁、孤独或焦虑情绪，甚至疾病的？

Third, we'll ask how might social psychology inform the treatment of such people. Given that feelings often follow behaviour, might a clinician prescribe behaviour changes that boost people's feelings, might they train people to change their explanations, their attributions for the good and bad events of their lives? 
第三，我们将探究社会心理学如何能够为治疗这类患者提供参考？考虑到行为往往伴随情绪，临床医生开具的行为改变处方是否可以改善患者的情绪？他们是否可以训练人们改变他们（对生活事件）的解释，改变他们对生活中好的和坏的事件的归因？

Finally, we'll consider the importance of close supportive relationships for a healthy and happy life. 

最后，我们将研究亲密的支持关系对健康和幸福生活的重要性。

Next, in chapter 15, we’ll look at social psychological principles that operate in courtrooms.

接下来在第15章，我们讨论社会心理学原理在法庭上的应用。

We’ll begin with a look at the reliability of eyewitness testimonies, which can unintentionally become inaccurate when misinformation seeps in as shown by some dramatic experiments. 

我们将首先探讨目击者证词的可靠性，正如一些引人注目的实验展示出的，当错误信息渗入时，目击者证词会无意中变得不准确。

And we'll see some ways to minimize errors in eyewitness recall. 

我们将学习一些尽量减少目击者错误回忆的方法。

Next, we will look at individual jurors who are making judgments in court cases, how might their biases or their similarity to defendants affect their judgments? 

接下来，我们将探讨在法庭案件中做出判断的陪审员个体，他们的偏见或他们与被告的相似性会如何影响他们的判断？

How well do they understand evidence such as statistical facts?

他们对统计事实此类的证据的理解程度如何？

Finally, we will consider juries as groups and we'll consider how phenomena such as group polarization, group decision-making, and minority influence, can operate in juror groups. 

最后，我们将把陪审团作为群体，了解诸如群体极化、群体决策和少数群体影响等现象是如何在陪审员群体中发挥作用的。

Our tour of social psychology concludes with chapter 16 as we ask how social psychology can help humanity create a sustainable climate future. 

我们的社会心理学学习之旅将在完成第16章后结束，在这一章中，我们将探索社会心理学如何帮助人类创造一个可持续的气候未来。

Think about it, in 1960 the spaceship earth, carried 3 billion people with their 127 million motor vehicles.

想想看，在1960年，地球这艘宇宙飞船承载着30亿人和他们的1.27亿辆机动车。

Today, with 7.8 billion people and 1.3 billion motor vehicles, earth's climate is under assault as multiple scientific reports document greenhouse gases are accumulating and thus sea and air temperatures are rising.

如今，地球上有78亿人口和13亿辆机动车，地球的气候正受到冲击，来自多份科学研究的记录都表明温室气体正在积累，导致海洋和大气温度不断攀升。

The animal life is migrated northward or upward, snow and ice packs are melting, the seas are rising and extreme weather, fires, hurricanes, droughts, floods, is increasing. 

动物正向北或向海拔更高处迁徙，冰雪融化，海平面上升，极端天气、火灾、飓风、干旱、洪水越来越多。

Social psychology’s contribution to a sustainable future is, first, to predict the psychological effects of climate change as people are displaced from their homes and at risk of conflict. 

社会心理学如何促进人类实现可持续发展的未来？首先，这门学科能够帮助预测气候变化对人们心理的影响，因为人们要离开自己的家园，并且面临冲突的风险。

Second, social psychology can help us understand how people form their understandings of climate change and how they can be educated and persuaded to support a more sustainable future by using new technologies and reducing consumption.

其次，社会心理学可以帮助我们理解人们是如何形成对气候变化的观点的，并研究如何通过采用新技术和减少能源消耗等手段来教育和说服人们支持一个更加可持续的未来。

Finally, social psychology can help us appreciate that, the good life, human flourishing, is less a matter of material consumption than of satisfying, close relationships, supportive social networks and engaging activities.

最后，社会心理学可以帮助我们认识到，美好的生活，人类的繁荣，与其说是物质消费的问题，不如说是涉及满足、亲密关系、支持性社会网络和参与性活动的问题。

And so, to conclude, I want to say what a great honour, it has been to share with you, my friends in China, the big lessons of social psychology, which has so much to teach us about our attitudes and behaviours, our beliefs and our Illusions, our prejudices and our willingness to help, and to create a better world. 

最后我想说，很荣幸能与中国的朋友们一起，共同学习社会心理学的重要课程，这些课程同我们的态度和行为，我们的信念和错觉，我们的偏见和为他人提供帮助的意愿息息相关，也有助于我们创造一个更美好的世界。

Thank you for joining me on this journey and my best wishes to you in your own journey of life.

感谢大家和我一起踏上这段旅程，在此向大家各自的人生旅途致以最美好的祝愿。
