A Comment on Texts by Jochen Fahrenberg and Jürgen Rost}, volume={4}, url={https://www.qualitative-research.net/index.php/fqs/article/view/721}, DOI={10.17169/fqs-4.2.721}, abstractNote={This introduction moderates two contributions to the debate on standards of social research, each written by a representative of psychology. The two authors come from different methodological backgrounds: One represents a quantitative methodology—the other has (among others) an interpretative-psychological (qualitative) background. Their appraisal of recent movements in qualitative social research is surprisingly diverse: friendly and commendatory vs. sharply criticizing. This introduction compares the two positions, places them into disciplinary structures of psychology at German universities, and provides a heuristic contextualization of these positions in Yin-Yang Philosophy.
