The Technological Paradigm of Psychological Research
Kvale, Steinar
Journal of Phenomenological Psychology, 3, 2, 143-159, Spr 73
The experiment in physics has often been pictured as an ideal for the less mature social sciences, especially by positivist philosophy of science. The thesis to be presented here is that the physical experiment as a paradigm for psychology is merely a pretext, a smoke-screen for a more fundamental and concealed technological paradigm for the study of man and society.
