Abstract: As the psychological and behavioral response of human beings to technology， technophobia deduces itself into a social phenomenon and cultural existence with the development of technology and society. Chinese traditional awe and humility of the unity of the nature and man laid the cultural and psychological foundation for technophobia. Technophobia since the modern times is not only a direct response to the negative effects of technology itself， but also a generalization of the fear of technology caused by humiliation， oppression and threat brought by advanced technologies to the underdeveloped countries， forming the unique cultural psychology of technophobia with the interaction between inferiority and conceit. Cultural self-confidence has stimulated a great psychological motive force of technological development， got rid of the polarization fluctuation of cultural inferiority and cultural conceit， integrated the positive elements such as awe and humility in the traditional culture， and promoted the technophobia to enter a new stage of cultural psychological integration. Meanwhile， it has brought positive enlightenment to the development of science and technology in China of the new era.

Key words: technophobia, cultural psychology, cultural confidence
