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.
