Description

Discursive psychology offers a unique approach to understanding language and its role in shaping our social interactions. This practical guide, written by Linda McMullen, provides a step-by-step introduction to conducting research using this innovative method. By analyzing talk and text within their social context, discursive psychologists can gain insights into how people use arguments for and against complex issues like climate change or critical discussions in face-to-face encounters. This approach is particularly useful for researchers looking to gather in-depth qualitative data that goes beyond quantitative measures. This book is part of a series that provides clear and comprehensive descriptions of various qualitative methods, including their methodological integrity and benefits and limitations. With numerous examples included, readers can quickly grasp how to apply these valuable methods in their own research.
