Abstract

Al-Hoorie et al. (2024: Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 1–23) illuminate a validation crisis within the second language (L2) Motivational Self System (L2MSS), revealing empirical flaws in its current measurement. Their analysis indicates a persistent lack of discriminant validity among the system’s constructs, issuing a fundamental challenge in distinguishing the concepts. These findings, echoing previous concerns, underscore a pressing need for theoretical refinement and methodological rigor within the field, leading the authors to advocate for a temporary halt in L2 self-studies to address these issues comprehensively. This commentary discusses the call for a substantive moratorium presented by Al-Hoorie et al. (2024: Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 1–23) as a necessary step toward resolving persistent challenges in the field. By highlighting historical issues and suggesting pathways for theoretical diversification and methodological advancement, I aim to foster a productive dialogue on motivational psychology in language learning while ensuring empirical robustness.

验证危机:对 Al-Hoorie、Hiver 和 In'nami (2024) 的回应
Al-Hoorie 等人(2024:《第二语言习得研究》,1-23)揭示了第二语言(L2)动机自我系统(L2MSS)的验证危机,揭示了其当前测量中的经验缺陷。他们的分析表明,该系统的建构之间一直缺乏判别效度,这给区分概念带来了根本性的挑战。这些发现与之前的担忧如出一辙,强调了该领域迫切需要理论上的完善和方法上的严谨,因此作者主张暂时停止 L2 自我研究,以全面解决这些问题。本评论讨论了 Al-Hoorie 等人(2024:《第二语言习得研究》,1-23)提出的实质性暂停的呼吁,认为这是解决该领域长期存在的挑战的必要步骤。通过强调历史问题并提出理论多样化和方法论进步的途径,我旨在促进语言学习动机心理学方面富有成效的对话,同时确保实证的稳健性。
