This Brief aims to provide a theoretically innovative introduction
to the methodology of the human sciences. It presents a new version
of methodology, as a system of mutually linked acts of creating
knowledge where both abstract and concrete features of research are
intricately intertwined. It shows how the constructions of
particular methods that are used in the science of psychology are
interdependent with general psychology. This is exemplified as the
Methodology Cycle. The need for an emphasis on the Methodology
Cycle grows out of the habitual presentation of methods as if they
were independent from the assumptions which they are built upon,
with the ultimate goal of searching for and creating universal
principles. Chapters discuss the Methodology Cycle and its uses in
various areas of empirical study in psychological functions.
Featured topics in this Brief include: The strict separation
between methodology and methods. Introspection, the primary method
of psychology. Extrospection, the act of introspection turned
outwards. Generalization and its effect on uniqueness. From
Methodology to Methods in Human Psychology will be of interest to
psychologists, undergraduate and graduate students, and
researchers.
