Introspection as the basic method in psychological science

Jaan Valsiner

pp. 59-64

Abstract

The primary method of psychology needs to be introspection. Yet any introspective evidence, to be of value to science, needs to be explicated into the public domain—'shared" between people and generalized from scientific knowledge creation. In this chapter I outline the original Wurzburg method of Karl Buhler and its transformation by Brady Wagoner. Analysis of the rating scales is included.
