ABSTRACT

Let us turn from vistas of intellectual enrichment to methods of inquiry in psychology. Of course this cannot be a clean break in subject matters because our theoretical predispositions are intimately linked to our methods of inquiry. (For example, behavioral observation in a laboratory experiment would be degraded data for a depth psychologist, and the experimental focus on cause and effect would be myopic for the phenomenologist.) This is to say that as we expand the domain of intelligible theory in psychology, so do we open new doors to methods of inquiry.
