칼 융(Carl G. Jung)의 심리 기능에 대한 진화심리학적 관점의 해석 = The Interpretation of Carl Jung’s Psychological Functions from The Evolutionary Psychological Perspective

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study began with questions about the ultimate causes of the four psychological functions(sensory perception, intuitive perception, thinking judgment, and emotional judgment) suggested by Carl Jung. To find answers to these questions, I adopted evolutionary psychology as the framework of analysis of four functions. Then, I basically accepted the evolutionary psychological assumption that psychological function is an evolved mind mechanism designed by natural selection. Some research problems to find answers from an evolutionary psychological point of view were as follows: First, to find out whether it is possible to interpret the four functions from an evolutionary point of view, I analyzed the evolutionary color that the attributes of the four functions contain. Second, I outlined the main perspectives and principles of evolutionary psychology about the mind, and the attributes of evolved psychology, which is a core concept. Third, I interpreted four psychological functions according to the perspective and research method of evolutionary psychology. These procedures were subdivided into sub-research content. 1) Common points of view between the four functions and the mind of evolutionary psychology were explored. 2) It was analyzed whether the four functions have the properties of the evolved psychological mechanism. 3) Through reverse-engineering and thinking experiments, it was verified whether the four functions can be said to be psychological mechanisms for adaptation and survival. 4) The reason for why the recognition and judgment functions evolved into a form of individual difference in a dichotomous manner was explored. To answer research problems, I used methods such as literature review, analysis, and thought experiments. Through the discussion, the meaning of the results according to the research questions was examined, and the limitations of the study, the direction of follow-up research, and implications were stated sequentially.
