We propose a SAGE model for social psychological research. Encapsulated in our acronym is a proposal to have a synthetic approach to social psychological research, in which qualitative methods are augmentative to quantitative ones, qualitative methods can be generative of new experimental hypotheses, and qualitative methods can capture experiences that evade experimental reductionism. We remind social psychological researchers that psychology was founded in multiple methods of investigation at multiple levels of analysis. We discuss historical examples and our own research as contemporary examples of how a SAGE model can operate in part or as an integrated whole. The implications of our model are discussed.
我们提出了一个社会心理学研究的 SAGE 模型。我们的缩写代表了一种综合的社会心理学研究方法,即定性方法可以补充定量方法,定性方法可以产生新的实验假设,定性方法可以捕捉到逃避实验还原论的经验。我们提醒社会心理学家,心理学是在多个层次的分析中,以多种方法创立的。我们讨论了历史上的例子和我们自己的研究,作为 SAGE 模型如何在部分或整体上运作的当代例子。我们还讨论了我们模型的含义。
