Methods in Work Psychology

Stephanie · #1 8th January 2008, 19:36

This thread is for discussion of a range of methods used in work psychology and management research.

I will start with a post on observations, and then over the next few weeks post up information about interviews, case studies, surveys, quasi-experiments, focus groups and so on.

As well as data collection, we will discuss analysis (that matches the collection method and paradigm)

Questions and debate appreciated.

kind regards

Here is the first method note - on a method not used perhaps as much as it should be - observation.

This is a really brief intro to the different styles of observation, from objective observer to involved participant, and focuses on the strengths and weaknesses.
