Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Chris Barker and Nancy Pistrang will review community psychology’s four guiding principles, which affirm a belief in research using “multiple methodologies.” Yet, community researchers rarely pause to reflect on exactly what such a stance of methodological pluralism actually entails in practice. This presentation will consider the implications of a pluralist stance for both the producers and consumers of community psychology research. It will address the question of how research using multiple methodologies is to be evaluated--does adopting a stance of pluralism mean that there are no longer any solid central criteria against which to judge the quality of research? The authors will argue that there is a central core of principles--some methodological and some values-oriented--that can be applied to all community psychology research and that there are also genre-specific criteria that can be articulated for various discrete orientations to research. They will discuss ways that a pluralistic stance can be adopted by individual researchers and by the field as a whole. The presentation will differentiate among several levels at which pluralism can be adopted, namely (a) within individual studies, (b) within a research program, and (c) within the field as a whole. Implications for community research and practice will be drawn.
