This abductive theory of method (ATOM) portrays research as a bottom-up process comprising two broad phases: the detection of empirical phenomena, and the construction of explanatory theories in order to explain claims about the phenomena. ATOM functions as a broad framework theory within which a variety of more specific research methods can be located and employed. A coherent treatment of those methods is enhanced by placing them within the framework of ATOM.Life and mind.PsychologyResearchMethodologyElectronic books.PsychologyResearchMethodology.150.72/1Haig Brian D.1945-1026801MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910465448103321Investigating the psychological world2441918UNINA
