The motivation for this volume in the History and Theory of
Psychology series is to look across sub-disciplines within
psychology and highlight instances where researchers transcended
the tendency to think about methodology along traditional lines.
Contributors have located examples of researchers who built upon
existing ideas to create methods true to their interests and
theoretical convictions.
Emerging Methods in Psychology shows how a discipline creates
new methods and carves out possibilities that not only generate
data, but also advance knowledge of human psychological
functioning. It concentrates on showcasing the possibilities that
exist when the researcher focuses on the relationship between
theory, method, and data.
The question of what kind of expertise is required is a key
issue. This is particularly the case in psychology where the
tradition of standardizing methods over the last century has served
to stabilize research questions. Knowledge creation is deeply
affective and ambiguous rather than the secure accumulation of data
by a socially legitimized procedure. This innovative volume moves
beyond psychology as social engineering into new varieties of
social knowledge.
