SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH: NATURE AND METHODOLOGY
Journal Title: Problems of Psychology in the 21st Century - Year 2014, Vol 8, Issue 1
Abstract
In this edition of scientific journal Problems of Psychology in the 21st Century scientific research is viewed from the perspective of the complexity of its nature and difficulty of its realization. It is no surprise that nowadays psychology goes through the process of its intensive development that results in the appearance of numerous researches in this sphere. However, the question is how novel or scientifically approved the research should be or how much empirical data has it to contain to be claimed scientifically relevant or interesting. It is not simply the issue of cohesion or scientific grammar that is based on a clear understanding of an algorithm of the whole researching activity when the hypothesis is to be formulated. It is unquestioned as scientific research usually means theory, practice, research question and personal experience. It is even not about the structure of any qualitative research as it in most cases contains general overview and research question that is masterly organized in introduction, discussion of literature or the section of topic discourse. It rather means the necessity to dispute the methodological aspects of any scientific work that is a research design and methods that help gather data and analyse it, proving the trustworthiness of the study. However, methodology and set of scientific methods used in the research are to be viewed as two different notions.
