trends of research, quantitative and qualitative methodologyAbstract
This paper presents some paradigmatic shifts that emerged in the last years in the field of psychosocial research. There are reviewed separately those upgrades that took place in quantitative and qualitative methodology. For both methodological fields there are presented the dominant theoretical conception together with their most relevant methods and instruments used for data collecting and processing.
