Study Notes

Approaches to Discourse Analysis in Psychology

Conversation Analysis examines everyday talk in natural settings, emphasizing the systematic organization of language and the social constructionist view that reality is shaped through interactions and shared understandings.
Critical Discourse Analysis, influenced by Michel Foucault, challenges the connection between truth, knowledge, and power, situating language in broader social and cultural contexts.
Discursive Psychology views language as constitutive and functional, constructing reality through shared meanings and accomplishing social actions in the world.
Discourse Analysis is empirical, focusing on identifying discursive resources and practices shaped by social, cultural, and historical processes, and analyzing the actions and constructions in interactions.
Interpretive Repertoires are internally consistent language units used by speakers to construct versions of actions, cognitive processes, and other phenomena, such as fact construction, category entitlement, stake inoculation, and active voicing.
Participatory Action Research operates within a critical realist paradigm, recognizing multiple shared realities and aiming for meaningful participation in analyzing and solving local issues for sustainable development.
PAR Principles include empowerment of marginalized groups, collaboration to remove researcher/participant hierarchy, and working with communities to enact change in a translational manner.
Challenges for PAR include time and resource constraints, building trust and rapport, addressing power imbalances, and ethical considerations like ownership of research and inclusivity.
PAR is criticized for being a soft approach and requires careful researcher reflexivity and interpretation of findings.
