The Evolution of Research Methods for the Study of Human Experience

Jerome S. Allender

Psychoeducational Processes, Temple University, Philadelphia, PA 19122.

Mainstream and not-so-mainstream shifts in human science methodology are reviewed, and new bases for standards for doing research are proposed. Implications based on Polanyi and Kuhn are used as starting points. With them in mind, recent developments in the evolution of research methods are traced, and the characteristics of new paradigm research are explored. The key is to recognize that the study of human experience is primarily a personal and a social process that is (a) only complete when it involves personal growth and (b) only acceptable if it improves human relationships. Objectivity is important, but not primary. Investigators do not exercise unilateral control over their research; rather, everyone who participates in the process is viewed as a collaborator.
