By pushing forward the study on Confucius's social psychological ideas, the second part summarizes the characteristics of Confucius's social psychological ideas as five aspects:"Human is more important than God","Teacheveryone etiquette", "Preach Tao'", "Never blame God, never blame others" and "Peace is precious and always carry out middleof the road", and point out that Confucius's basis attitude to God-human relation is "Human is more important than God"; Confucius's basis principle to deal with people's relation, God-human relation and people-community relation is "Peace is precious and always carry out middle of the road"; the basic conception to individual-community relation is to emphasize the social impact and indoctrination on individual, which is "Teach everyone etiquette"; the important social responsibility of "Preach 'Tao'", and Confucius's broad and nice psychological characters of "Never blame God, never blame others".
第二部分在对孔子的社会心理思想作进一步研究的基础之上，将孔子社会心理思想的特点概括为重人轻神、齐之以礼、弘道于世、不怨天、不尤人，以及贵和尚中五个方面，揭示出孔子对待天人关系的根本态度是“重人轻神”；处理人际关系、天人关系以及人与社会之间关系的根本原则是“贵和尚中”；对待个人与社会的关系的基本观点是既强调社会对个人的影响和教化，即“齐之以礼”，又倡导“弘道于世”的社会责任感；以及孔子“不怨天、不尤人”的博大胸襟和良好的心理品质。
