Description

Based on a collection of chapters of leading scholars in the field, the purpose of this book is to intervene in current debates on the scientific foundation of psychological theory, methodology and research practice, and to offer an in-depth, situated and contextual understanding of psychological generalization. This book aims to contribute to a theoretical and methodological vocabulary which includes the subjective dimension of human life in psychological inquiry, and roots processes of generalization in persons’ common, social, cultural and material practices of everyday living.   The volume is directed to students, professors, and researchers in psychology as well as to scholars in other branches of the humanities and social science where psychology and especially subjectivity, everyday practice and the development of psychological knowledge is an issue. The volume will be of particular interest to scholars in the field of cultural psychology, critical psychology, psychology of everyday life as well as psychological methodology and qualitative studies of everyday life including the various critical undergraduate, graduate, master, and PhD programs. The book will also be of special interest for scholars working in social psychology, history of psychology, general psychology, theoretical psychology, environmental psychology and political psychology.  

Author Biography:

​Charlotte Højholt is Professor of Social Psychology of Everyday Life in the Department of People and Technology at Roskilde University, Denmark. The focus of her research is on children’s everyday life, and she is working with theoretical development through Practice Research, a unity of empirical research and developmental work. Her studies explore children’s participation in social practice, going across different life contexts such as family, school, kindergarten, recreation centers and special help arrangements. This has given a focus on the communities of children, their personal conduct of life and on the cooperation between the grown-ups (parents, teachers, pedagogues, psychologists). She has published widely in the areas of development, learning, professionalism, interdisciplinary work and methodology. She is head of the PhD program Social Psychology of Everyday Life at Roskilde University and of the inter-institutional research group Practice Research in Development. Ernst Schraube is Professor of Social Psychology of Technology in the Department of People and Technology at Roskilde University, Denmark. In his teaching and research, he focuses on the social and political implications of modern technologies in everyday life and he is currently working on a project on the significance of digital technologies in students’ learning and conduct of everyday life. He published widely in psychology of technology, social psychology of everyday life, critical psychology, theoretical psychology as well as science and technology studies. The 1998-99 academic year he spent as a visiting research scholar in the Department of Science and Technology Studies at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, New York, USA.
