Description
This qualitative study, entitled "Understanding the Why and How of Psychological science (UWHPS)", sought to better understand the fundamental practices of individual psychology researchers: their aims, methodologies, and epistemologies. We wanted to learn whether these practices were embedded within, or even driven by, a wider philosophical framework. Hence, the goal was to describe and understand their research practices, seeking idiosyncrasy and unity alike. In doing so, the aim was to construct a picture of what these psychology researchers thought about scientific method within psychology, and where these ideas came from. After conducting 13 interviews, we constructed a preliminary grounded theory about their views on scientific method.
