Assignment: Introduction to Psychology

Length: 2 to 4 pages.

After reviewing this resources, explain, in your own words, the differences between constructivist and post-positivist approaches to research. In particular, include the following in your written analysis:

1. Identify and document constructivist's views.

2. Identify and document post-positivist's views.

3. Provide an example of a study (other than that given by Mertens) that uses a constructivist approach. (You can use examples from a study you have come across in previous courses)

4. Provide an example (other than that given by Mertens) that uses a post-positivist approach. (You can use an example of a study you have come across in previous courses)

5. Reflect on these two approaches. Do you think the approaches are antagonistic (i.e., you can only believe in doing research one way and not the other) or are the approaches just different ways of answering different research questions? There is no right or wrong answer for this.
