摘要
本文介绍和分析了社会科学中理性选择理论的起源与争论，以及社会学中理性选择理论发展的新趋势，在对传统理性选择理论作出批判的前提下，提出了以有限理性取代完全理性；承认人的行为也有非理性的一面；关注制度文化对个人偏好和目的的影响作用，参考狭义理性选择的概念，界定理性选择理论在何种情境之下，可以解释何种行为，正确处理制度与个人行动选择之间的关系，为理性选择理论圈定一块合适的园地。同时指出以家庭作为行动单位研究中国人的理性选择行动。
Abstract This article presents the origin and argument of rational choice theory in social science,and its current tendency in sociology.Based on the criticism of traditional choice theory,the article puts forward bounded rationality as a substitute for absolute rationality,acknowledges the irrational aspect of human behavior,gives attention to the influence of institution and culture on individual's preference and goal,defines the situation in which rational choice can explain certain behavior in terms of the concept of rational choice in the narrow sense,deals with the relation between the institution and the selection of individual action properly,specifies a way for indigenization of rational choice theory to study Chinese rational choice action by taking the family as the unit of action.
